High Martial Arts Era 358
by admin“But it’s still far from you, Big Brother.” Liu Bing said helplessly, “You broke through in such a short time and reached level 37. I’m afraid it will take me two years to catch up to you.”
“Two years to reach level 37?” Li Yuan asked curiously.
Liu Bing was a Seven-Star Pulse breakthrough, so at the Feitian stage, she could reach a maximum of 37.9.
Of course, if she could further create a new law and awaken an Eight-Star Pulse at the Feitian stage, she could also cultivate to level 38.9.
“In your mundane domain, most Feitian Warriors have insufficient realm and weak star pulses. Many of them spend decades just accumulating Source Power, from level 30 to level 35.” A voice rang out, and a towering figure with a single horn converged from the light and shadow.
“Senior Qiu.” Li Yuan bowed slightly.
“But Little Bing has a Seven-Star Pulse and has already crossed the threshold of the law. She also has many treasures to aid her cultivation, so her Source Power improvement is still very fast.” Qiu Bingzun said, “Wasting time on Source Power cultivation is pure waste of time… Time should mainly be used to comprehend the laws, or to strive to awaken the Life Star.”
“These two things are the most important.” Qiu Bingzun said.
Li Yuan nodded involuntarily. Strong star pulses and high comprehension of the laws would make it faster to refine the Source Power of Heaven and Earth.
Like himself, in just a few months, with the help of the Divine Crystal Chamber, he had already risen from level 37.1 to level 37.5… It was estimated that in about a year, he would be able to cultivate to level 38.9.
Little Bing’s external cultivation conditions would only be better than his.
“Unfortunately.”
“No matter how hard I try, even if the gods left behind a lot of treasures… I can’t break through the bottleneck, and ultimately, I can only break through with a Seven-Star Pulse.” Liu Bing shook her head in a sigh, “A second-order Eight-Star Pulse is too difficult. I really don’t know how you succeeded, Big Brother.”
Li Yuan sighed inwardly. He had achieved a second-order Seven-Star Pulse by becoming a demigod-level soul… If it weren’t for the guidance of his Spiritual Essence, and if he had relied solely on time to grind it out, his chances of achieving a second-order Eight-Star Pulse would have been slim.
In the mundane domain, various treasures and opportunities were indeed too scarce.
“Walk your own path. Your brother is probably a rare genius in this mundane domain, one that hasn’t appeared in hundreds of millions of years. Don’t compare yourself to his strengths.” Qiu Bingzun laughed beside him, “At least in the past month since you broke through to Feitian, your mental strength and willpower have both broken through… Your progress in comprehending the laws is even faster than your brother’s.”
“Right.” Liu Bing’s eyes lit up, and she giggled, “Big Brother, I’ve already reached the middle stage of the seventh stage in my deduction of the Wind Law.”
“Amazing.” Li Yuan exclaimed sincerely.
A seventh-stage, middle-stage comprehension of the laws was comparable to the law comprehension level of many peak demigods.
The Saint Blood Sky Serpent, truly the top Wind Divine Beast, even if it only ate and slept, slept and ate, could grow into a peak True God within a thousand years… Not to mention Liu Bing’s extremely diligent cultivation.
She could also endure the loneliness.
It must be noted that one of the three nine-layer star techniques that Liu Bing cultivated was the “True Explanation of the Sky Wind Star Pulse.”
Her talent was already top-tier, her external cultivation conditions were also top-tier, and she was so diligent in her cultivation… Her progress was naturally terrifying.
At least, in terms of comprehending the Wind Law, Li Yuan was far inferior to Liu Bing. It was only the fusion of the two true intentions that allowed Li Yuan to barely keep up with Liu Bing’s speed in comprehending the laws.
“Little Bing, once you cultivate to level 37.9, I’m not sure if I can defeat you in a head-to-head battle.” Li Yuan laughed.
In terms of weapons and treasures, Liu Bing might be stronger than him.
In terms of star techniques, he had the advantage.
But Liu Bing’s comprehension of the laws was stronger.
“I’m strong for a while.” Liu Bing said, “You, Big Brother, are full of potential.”
The two of them chatted leisurely, gradually shifting the topic to an exchange of their understanding of the Wind True Intention and the Wind Law.
It was mainly Liu Bing who was guiding Li Yuan.
After a long time.
“Big Brother, when are we going to the Nine Leaf World?” Liu Bing asked curiously.
She had long known about the existence of the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains, and she also knew that she would have to set off for the Nine Leaf World when she reached the Feitian realm.
“The Nine Leaf World?” Li Yuan said, “I’m not sure yet, but it shouldn’t be too long… Keep cultivating hard and strive to reach level 37.9 by the time we enter the Nine Leaf World. You’ll be able to unleash your strongest combat power.”
“Okay.” Liu Bing was full of fighting spirit.
…
Time passed.
When Li Yuan was leisurely cultivating in the Wushen Star Realm, in a mysterious place in the distant void.
This was a vast expanse of heaven and earth, inhabited by countless creatures, extremely vibrant. Among them were also some extremely powerful gods. They stood at the peak of heaven and earth, enjoying the faith of countless living beings.
In one of the powerful god kingdoms.
The capital.
Inside a sprawling manor, a grand celebration was being held today.
“Congratulations, Xiahou!”
“Congratulations, Xiahou. Being awarded the title of king at the Feitian stage is extremely rare in the history of my Anbei God Kingdom.”
“Haha, yes, many demigods have not been awarded the title of king. The last time a Feitian Warrior was awarded the title of king was over two thousand years ago.”
“Xiahou is powerful. He defeated a demigod with his Feitian strength. It’s only natural that he be awarded the title of king.” Deep inside the manor, many powerful beings were chatting and laughing freely.
The man, dressed in a black robe and about thirty years old, was also smiling and interacting with the strong individuals.
This scene made the servants in the manor gasp in awe and feel a sense of pride.
Those who came were all demigods. Even in the capital, where powerful beings were numerous, demigods were absolute big shots… And yet they all came to congratulate their master – Xiahou.
Being a Feitian stage yet able to converse and laugh freely with numerous demigods, how many Feitian stage individuals in the entire kingdom could do that?
“Once our master breaks through to become a demigod, he will definitely become a super being among demigods.”
“In the future, he may even become a god.”
“Once our master becomes a god, he will be a king, with the right to establish a kingdom. At that time, our status will also rise.” The servants also had their own thoughts.
They knew that their master had no relatives and seemingly no descendants.
Therefore, they, the servants, could benefit greatly.
Suddenly.
As the demigods were chatting, boom – an extremely powerful aura was born out of thin air, descending from the clouds in the sky.
“God.”
“Greetings to God.” The demigods who had been chatting, sensing the aura, bowed down immediately.
The man in black also bowed.
The clouds dissipated, revealing the figure of a white-robed elder. His aura was ethereal, far surpassing this group of demigods.
“Xiahai.” The white-robed elder looked down at the young man in black.
“God.” The young man in black respectfully said.
“Although you have only been in the God Kingdom for a short time, you have made great contributions to the God Kingdom. I specially bestow upon you the title of Xiahou.” The white-robed elder said lightly, “I hope you will continue to strive and soon become a demigod, and ultimately become a god… I look forward to the day when you stand side-by-side with me.”
“Yes, I will try my best.” The man in black said.
Whoosh!
The white-robed elder waved his hand, and a circular token emitting an ancient and vast aura slowly descended.
The man in black reached out and took the token. On the front of the token was engraved the character “侯 (Hou)”, while on the back was engraved a landscape of mountains and rivers. At a glance, it seemed to contain a vast world.
He felt quite excited, thinking to himself, “Finally, I have obtained the king’s token. Even if it is the lowest-grade Third-Grade Hou, it is still the token of a king. I have finally completed the trial task.”
Not long after.
The grand banquet came to an end. The white-robed elder and the demigods left, and the newly built Xiahou Manor became quiet.
The man in black instructed the servants in the manor, “I am going into seclusion to cultivate.”
Immediately, he returned to the depths of the manor and activated the formation.
“I should go back.” The man in black sat cross-legged on the jade platform, sighing inwardly, “To obtain the king’s token of any god kingdom within ten years is quite difficult.”
In this world, the gods fought among themselves, and the various god kingdoms competed with each other. There were countless powerful beings.
Even though his strength was comparable to a demigod, he was quite insignificant in this world. He had to be cautious. A slight mistake could lead to his downfall.
“Is this world really a world within the Nine Leaf World?” The man in black pondered, “Every god kingdom is created by a True God… There are hundreds of god kingdoms in this world… The legendary three ancient kingdoms are all created by existences beyond True Gods.”
In any case, over the past few years, the man in black had to admit that this world was far more powerful than his home, the mundane domain.
“My home, the mundane domain, seems vast, but now there aren’t even a few True Gods left.” The man in black sighed.
“But, it’s still my home.”
The man in black was none other than Fang Hai. Over the past few years, he had been wandering in this mysterious world.
He took out the circular token.
“Registered member ‘Fang Hai’, applying to complete the task.” Fang Hai’s thoughts moved, and he activated the corresponding mark within his body.
Immediately.
Buzz – An invisible wave swept over, and a crack appeared out of thin air in front of Fang Hai. He instantly disappeared from the spot.
The crack merged and returned to normal.
Deep within the capital, in a special space-time, countless flames were burning. In the midst of the endless flames, a monstrous figure emitting a terrifying aura sat cross-legged.
Suddenly.
“Master.” A deep voice echoed through the space-time, “Just now, a mysterious force invaded the capital… In the God Kingdom, the newly promoted Xiahou, the one with the potential to become a True God, a third-order Seven-Star Pulse… He disappeared instantly.”
“Disappeared?” The monstrous beast opened its eyes.
“It’s very strange. The situation is unclear for now.” The deep voice said, “According to the defense strength of the capital’s formations, even if a Celestial God descended, it wouldn’t be possible to do it silently and without a trace.”
“Don’t worry about it for now.”
“Can you trace Xiahou’s whereabouts?” The monstrous beast said lightly.
“I can’t trace him for now.” The deep voice said, “I just checked his information. He suddenly appeared a few years ago… But he didn’t cause us any harm, and instead, he made quite a few contributions to the God Kingdom.”
“Then stop investigating. Maintain his title, and announce to the outside world that Xiahou has been summoned by me for closed-door cultivation.” The monstrous beast said slowly, “There are many mysteries in this world that I cannot even perceive… Perhaps this Xiahou is a disciple sent from some mysterious place to undergo trials.”
“Since he hasn’t caused any damage, we don’t need to offend him.”
“If he becomes a True God in the future, and if he returns, it will be equivalent to making a good connection.” The monstrous beast said.
“Understood.”
…
Whoosh –
Time flickered, and Fang Hai felt the surrounding space-time changing before he was back in the familiar scene.
A towering and endless divine temple.
“Registered member Fang Hai, congratulations on completing the Nine Leaf trial and becoming a Silver Robe member.” A gentle voice said, “Now, you need to make a choice. There are nine ascension gifts. You can choose any four of them. These ascension gifts have different orientations.”
Whoosh –
Countless light and shadows converged, forming a giant screen of light. On the screen were numerous words.
Fang Hai looked at them involuntarily.
“First, the Ten Thousand Realms Chamber of Commerce Token. The Ten Thousand Realms Chamber of Commerce is… You can use the Ten Thousand Realms Token to communicate with the Ten Thousand Realms Chamber of Commerce. Every hundred years, you can use it to purchase treasures…”
“Second, the Ten Thousand Gods Inheritance Cave…”
“Third, the Sixth-Order Civilization Leading Envoy…”
“Fourth, the Celestial God’s Registered Disciple Inheritance…”
“Fifth…”
…
Fang Hai looked at the nine ascension gifts and their detailed introductions, and his heart was completely shocked.
At this moment.
He finally understood what his teacher, Dongfang Ji, had said before entering the Nine Leaf World: “You are more talented than me. As long as everything goes well, you will definitely pass the Nine Leaf World… You will understand everything then.”
Fang Hai had fully understood.
It turned out that everything his teacher had revealed was indeed from the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains.
“Nine ascension gifts, some are biased towards enhancing one’s own strength, while some can enhance the entire civilization’s foundation, but are of less help to oneself.” Fang Hai sighed, “Teacher… He sacrificed too much.”
From the many past traces, Fang Hai had already vaguely understood his teacher’s past choices.
Most of them were biased towards enhancing the civilization’s foundation.
“No wonder Teacher said that he had already done many things and laid a foundation for the entire civilization. I could focus more on enhancing myself.” Fang Hai thought silently.
In the past, he didn’t understand why his teacher wouldn’t say it directly, but now he understood.
There were restrictions from the Law Oath.
Many things could be done, but couldn’t be said…
“Teacher always said I was more talented, but if he had chosen those that enhance himself, he might have been even stronger.” Fang Hai shook his head inwardly, and he admired his teacher even more.
Time passed.
Soon, Fang Hai had made his choice.
“Silver Robe member Fang Hai.” The gentle voice said, “I hope you will continue to strive and soon break through the Nine Mountain trials… and become a Gold Robe member…”
…
September 2051, Seven Star Mountain. Li Yuan was cultivating in his palace.
Suddenly.
“Hm?” Li Yuan felt his Smart Ring vibrate, and he immediately lowered his head to look at it. Then he widened his eyes, and endless joy surged through his heart, “Principal, he’s become a demigod?”
This was a message sent by Dongfang Ji, and the meaning was simple – Fang Hai had just returned from the Nine Leaf World and had successfully broken through to become a demigod. Now, he possessed the strength of a peak demigod.
“The Principal could kill a demigod even when he was still a Feitian, relying on his extremely high comprehension of the laws.” Li Yuan didn’t feel surprised, “It’s normal for him to achieve the strength of a peak demigod after breaking through.”
In Li Yuan’s view, it was normal for the Principal to reach the demigod limit level after cultivating for a few more years.
Demigod limit, this referred to the theoretical limit that a normal demigod could reach.
As for the so-called “Invincible Demigod,” this referred to having combat power that reached the threshold of the Virtual God. Those who could achieve this often had some very special reasons, and it was extremely rare.
…
Flying Star, in the dim void, two figures were flying at high speed.
“Teacher, I have not failed your expectations.” Fang Hai respectfully said.
“Haha, good, you have successfully become a Silver Robe member.” Dongfang Ji smiled, “Good. You are the second Silver Robe member in the history of our Seven Star Civilization.”
Fang Hai listened.
Previously, he had entered the Nine Leaf World several times, only completing the three-leaf trial, five-leaf trial, and seven-leaf trial. Although he had gained many benefits… he had never touched the true secrets of the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains.
Until this time, when he successfully completed the Nine Leaf trial, he understood the true secrets of the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains.
He knew that before him, many demigods, like Lan Te, or powerful Feitian Warriors, should have entered the Nine Leaves and Nine Mountains… But no one had been able to complete the Nine Leaf trial.
Not to mention the higher-level Nine Mountain trials.
“What did you choose?” Dongfang Ji asked.
In the past, he was limited by the Law Oath and could not speak directly, but now that both of them were Silver Robe members, it wouldn’t be considered leaking secrets.
Fang Hai quickly explained.
“Good.” Dongfang Ji nodded in satisfaction, “With these things to help you, your strength will grow faster than mine. You have a good chance of awakening an Eight-Star Pulse at the demigod stage… Once you achieve an Eight-Star Pulse, and if you also pass the Nine Mountain trials… Haha, your potential is immeasurable.”
“Teacher, haven’t you passed the Nine Mountain trials?” Fang Hai asked.
“I’ve never been.” Dongfang Ji shook his head, “When you enter the Nine Mountain World again, you’ll understand. Once you participate in the Nine Mountain trials, regardless of success or failure, it’s difficult to return in a short time.”
Fang Hai instantly understood.
The Nine Mountain World contained even deeper secrets than the Nine Leaf World.
At the same time, Fang Hai also understood why his teacher had always emphasized that once Li Yuan and he grew up, he would be relieved. Shouldering the entire civilization alone was truly a heavy burden.
“Now, it’s good.”
“Li Yuan has broken through to become a Feitian and already possesses the strength of a demigod.” Dongfang Ji smiled, “You have also broken through to become a demigod and returned. If you cultivate for a few more years, your strength will increase significantly… At that time, I can go on my own path.”
“Teacher, you have sacrificed too much for the entire civilization.” Fang Hai sighed.
“For a civilization to rise, someone must take the first step.” Dongfang Ji smiled faintly, “To see you rising one after another is worth the choice I made back then.”
“Li Yuan has broken through to become a Feitian? What’s the situation? He’s already a demigod so soon?” Fang Hai asked curiously.
“He’s even more powerful than you were back then.” Dongfang Ji laughed, “He broke through with a second-order Eight-Star Pulse, and he was level 37 right after breaking through.”
“A second-order Eight-Star Pulse?” Fang Hai was shocked.
…
“Fang Hai has become a demigod.”
“Demigod? Fang Hai?” This news spread through the entire Seven Star Civilization at an astonishing speed, causing countless strong individuals to feel a sense of awe, and quickly spreading to many alien civilizations.
In terms of attention, Fang Hai was not far behind Li Yuan.
As for Fang Hai becoming a demigod, everyone wasn’t too shocked, after all, it was expected… In the speculation of many alien civilizations, Fang Hai should have already become a demigod.
Such a powerful Feitian becoming a demigod was bound to quickly stand at the peak of demigods and become another pillar of the Seven Star Civilization.
But shortly after, another piece of news completely shocked the entire Seven Star Civilization – Dongfang Ji announced that he would be stepping down from his position as the ‘Seven Star Supreme Temple Lord’ of the Starfire Martial Temple and that Fang Hai would succeed him.
At the same time, a major adjustment would be made to the highest decision-making level of the Seven Star Alliance. Dongfang Ji would still serve as the Supreme Alliance Lord, but the Seven Star Alliance would set up two deputy alliance lords for the first time – Lan Te, the demigod, and Fang Hai, the demigod.
Without a doubt.
All the demigods and Feitian Warriors in the entire Seven Star Civilization understood that this marked Fang Hai’s formal entry into the highest echelon of the Seven Star Civilization… Both the Seven Star Supreme Temple Lord and the Alliance Deputy Alliance Lord were merely paving the way for him to eventually take over as the Supreme Alliance Lord.
These consecutive pieces of news made many strong individuals in the Seven Star Civilization secretly speculate.
It also triggered speculation from many alien civilizations.
Was Dongfang Ji going to become a god?
…
“The Principal just stepped down as the Blue Star Supreme Temple Lord a few years ago, and now, in a blink of an eye, he’s directly become the Seven Star Supreme Temple Lord.” Li Yuan smiled.
Li Yuan wasn’t surprised. Strength determined status, and the Principal was destined to become one of the highest-ranking individuals in Blue Star.
Besides.
All along, the Alliance Lord had been grooming the Principal as his successor.
“But he’s directly become the Deputy Alliance Lord as well.” Li Yuan thought inwardly, “He’s pulling Lan Te, the demigod, to become the Deputy Alliance Lord together. This is probably to silence the many demigods in the Alliance… Could it be that the Alliance Lord is really preparing to leave the Seven Star Civilization?”
Li Yuan remembered the Alliance Lord’s words from a few years ago.
Between the lines, he revealed that he was going to leave.
“Never mind.”
“No matter what, it’s the right path to strive to make yourself strong.” Li Yuan thought inwardly.
…
Fang Hai’s grand celebration for becoming a demigod was held on Flying Star. Li Yuan didn’t participate directly.
But he privately went to see Fang Hai.
…
After Fang Hai’s celebration for becoming a demigod.
The entire Seven Star Civilization was as peaceful as always. The demigods guarded the major planets, ensuring the overall stability of the civilization, while also diligently cultivating, hoping to take a step further.
Feitian Warriors, Source Warriors, either diligently cultivated or went on adventures in various Star Realms.
Li Yuan was still cultivating in seclusion on Seven Star Mountain.
The outside world had some discussions about why he hadn’t broken through to ‘Feitian’ yet, but the controversy wasn’t too great. After all, compared to most members of Seven Star Mountain, he was still young.
In the blink of an eye, it was October 2052, a year had passed since Fang Hai’s demigod celebration.
Lan Tie Star.
This was the most barren and ordinary of the seven planets in the Seven Star Civilization. The entire planet’s population was only about 5 billion, not even as many as some breeding areas in the Star Realms.
The environment of the entire planet was quite harsh.
Hobbs Sea, a very ordinary and remote sea area on Lan Tie Star.
“Rumble~” Deep beneath the sea, a dark and mysterious force suddenly seemed to be transmitted from a higher dimension, instantly affecting the stability of this space.
Whoosh – The space twisted. The originally stable seabed mountain range shattered with a boom. Countless seawater surged, and countless ripples of starlight were born out of thin air and condensed.
Soon, a huge crack, more than 300 kilometers long, 10 kilometers wide, and covered with shimmering light, was formed.
It was as if a crack had appeared on the planet.
At the other end of the crack, a dark aura faintly emanated, and through the ripples of starlight, it seemed to lead to another world.
Only a quarter of an hour later.
“Whoosh!”
A figure emitting blue light all over, instantly flew out of the crack. He stood in the water, vigilantly looking in all directions.
He was very cautious in the face of this newly appeared Star Realm channel.
He didn’t know which alien civilization was connected now.
Time passed by, minute by minute.
“It’s the Seven Star Civilization.”
“According to instrument readings, it should be Lan Tie Star in the Seven Star Civilization.” The figure emitting blue light quickly confirmed. He was filled with excitement, “Haha, my Yun Jing Star Realm has actually opened a new Star Realm channel connecting to another planet in the Seven Star Civilization.”
“I must report this to the god immediately.”
