High Martial Arts Era 367
by admin## Chapter 367: Xuan Yun Array! Return to Feixing
“Yes, master, please wait a moment.” San Qiu the Demigod said respectfully.
The speed of a Demigod-level soul thought was incredibly fast. Soon, she had transmitted all the intelligence she knew to Li Yuan through soul communication.
Li Yuan continued to receive the information.
After a quick glance, he realized that much of the intelligence was already in the Seven Star civilization’s ‘database’, but a lot of it was new to him.
“So, the Wan Mo civilization cultivates their Heavenly Flight warriors like this. Oh, in many ways, they are still behind us on Blue Star.”
“Hmm? There are some Heavenly Flight-level geniuses within the Wan Mo civilization that aren’t in the database. They must be recent up-and-comers.” Li Yuan quickly scanned through it.
Most of the information San Qiu the Demigod provided wasn’t very useful for the moment.
After a while, Li Yuan finished reviewing all the intelligence, quickly categorized it, and then transferred the relevant information to the ‘Starfire Database’.
Every strong warrior within the Martial Temple can upload various data during their travels.
Once verified, they will receive corresponding Seven Star Points as a reward.
At Li Yuan’s level, he naturally didn’t care about the small amount of reward, but enriching the database was something that a top-tier warrior of his civilization should do.
“On Lan Tie Star, are there only the three of you Demigods? Are there any others hidden that you don’t know about?” Li Yuan asked.
“Master, I am not entirely sure. After all, the Wan Mo civilization is very cautious in their actions. Even the three of us Demigods don’t know the specific locations of those Heavenly Flight warriors. We can only wait for orders from higher-ups.” San Qiu the Demigod replied.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Previously, he had hoped that San Qiu the Demigod could provide a map of the locations of other alien Heavenly Flight warriors.
But after carefully reviewing the information, he realized he had been thinking too much.
The Wan Mo civilization had already considered this point.
“But I think there should be no other Demigods.” San Qiu the Demigod said, “First, your threat is immense, far greater than the value of the entire Lan Tie Star. If there were other Wan Mo civilization Demigods, they would have shown up in this battle.”
“Second, even now, there are less than ten Heavenly Flight Demon Princes within the Wan Mo civilization.” San Qiu the Demigod continued, “Most who have reached the sixth-stage perfection of their True Meaning will not stay in the Heavenly Flight Realm for long.”
“Like you, master, a Heavenly Flight warrior like you has never been born in the entire history of the Wan Mo civilization.” San Qiu the Demigod said.
Li Yuan nodded slightly, finding her words reasonable.
Most people have limited Star Vein talent. Five-Star Veins are usually the limit, and there are few who can reach Six-Star Veins in the Heavenly Flight Realm.
In short, for most Heavenly Flight warriors, becoming a Demigod is already a great satisfaction, so they naturally won’t stay in the Heavenly Flight Realm for too long.
Godhood? It’s something ordinary people dare not dream of.
“Very good.” Li Yuan smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, my promise will not change. I will do my best to help you grow stronger. After all, the stronger you are, the more helpful you will be to me.”
“Whatever my master wants San Qiu to do, San Qiu will do it.” San Qiu the Demigod’s eyes filled with killing intent, “If San Qiu can become a God, in the future, I will definitely kill my way back to the Wan Mo civilization and exterminate the entire civilization. Not only for myself, but also to avenge my master.”
“The Wan Mo civilization wants to kill my master. The entire civilization deserves to be destroyed!!” San Qiu the Demigod said with murderous intent.
It is difficult for foreign Gods to descend to other dimensional planes.
But if San Qiu the Demigod becomes a God, returning to the Wan Mo civilization will be easy. At least the plane’s origin won’t hinder her.
“Don’t rush it.”
“You keep all the treasures on you, including those two divine artifacts.” Li Yuan said, “After the battle on Lan Tie Star is over, I will help you obtain a guest position in the Seven Star civilization. You will be able to obtain cultivation resources from the Seven Star Treasury… If you have any problems you can’t solve, you can come and ask me again.”
“Yes.” San Qiu the Demigod replied.
As a heart-soul servant, she was absolutely loyal from the bottom of her heart.
“Next.”
“You first collect this Source Power Array for me, then hide yourself. You must not reveal your whereabouts or identity without my orders.” Li Yuan said, “Also, wear this Phantom Spirit Robe. At least, those below Demigod won’t be able to see through your identity.”
Li Yuan waved his hand, giving the Phantom Spirit Robe he had previously used to San Qiu the Demigod.
The Wan Mo civilization would certainly know that he had captured San Qiu the Demigod.
After all, to guard against any deception, Liu Bing had already destroyed many communication artifacts in advance.
But after capturing her, would they interrogate her for information and then kill her? Or imprison her? Or use heart-soul control?
Let the Wan Mo civilization guess.
Even if the Wan Mo civilization had guessed the truth, they couldn’t directly give them the answer… In the struggle between civilizations, the more they could hide, the better.
…
“Boom boom boom~” Under San Qiu the Demigod’s control, the vast Source Power Array that originally enveloped tens of kilometers, a series of streams of light flew in front of San Qiu the Demigod. As the array dissipated, the surging black mist also continuously converged.
Finally, San Qiu the Demigod completely collected the entire foundation of the Source Power Array.
Phew!
Li Yuan moved his mind, and the Heaven River Domain spread for ten kilometers, still concealing San Qiu the Demigod’s aura.
It prevented those Heavenly Flight warriors in the distance from seeing this scene, making it unclear who had collected the Source Power Array.
Within the Heaven River Domain.
“Master, here is the Source Power Array.” San Qiu the Demigod respectfully handed it over.
Phew! Phew! Phew! Three divine artifacts that resembled star discs floated, each emitting an incredibly powerful aura.
Outside the three divine artifacts, there were dozens of semi-divine artifacts surrounding them. There were many of these semi-divine artifacts, but the aura they emitted was much weaker.
“Master.”
“This array is called the ‘Xuan Yun Source Array’. It is jointly achieved by three divine artifacts and seventy-two semi-divine artifacts.” San Qiu the Demigod said, “If those semi-divine artifacts are lost, it’s fine. They can be re-forged. The core of the array is the three divine artifacts. They are indispensable.”
“Hmm, you release the ownership, and I will take a closer look.” Li Yuan said.
“Yes.” San Qiu the Demigod quickly released the ownership.
Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately moved his mind, and Source Power surged into the three star disc artifacts.
Soon, a large amount of information flooded into Li Yuan’s mind.
“It’s actually a fixed formation.” Li Yuan completely understood the intricacies of this array.
His current vision was extremely high. Many Gods might not be as good as him. After carefully perceiving the mysteries of the formation, he clearly understood the advantages and disadvantages of this array.
The advantage was that it could greatly enhance the strength of the main array user, even forming three Source Power avatars, allowing the main array user to manipulate them in battle and avoid many dangers.
But the disadvantages were also obvious.
First, the formation had to be set up in advance. Once set up, it couldn’t be moved, and it was also very troublesome to collect. In short, it was not suitable for encounters.
Second, it had to be jointly deployed by three Demigods, and the three Demigods had to be from the Earth vein, Wood vein, and Water vein respectively.
“This Source Power Array is suitable for use as a base array or during deployment.” Li Yuan said, “Or it can be set up in advance to ambush and kill.”
“More than ten Heavenly Flight Demon Princes. No wonder that stupid East Demon God chose the three of you Heavenly Flight Demon Princes.” Li Yuan looked at San Qiu the Demigod.
The three of them just happened to match the three attributes.
“I have to thank that fool, East Demon. If it weren’t for him, how would I have met my master?” San Qiu the Demigod said solemnly.
Li Yuan shook his head and chuckled, “San Qiu, this array won’t be able to unleash its power in your hands. I’ll take it.”
“As my master wishes.” San Qiu the Demigod said.
Li Yuan waved his hand, taking in all three divine artifacts and dozens of semi-divine artifacts… This Source Power Array, even if a single divine artifact was taken out separately, would have defects and would be of very low value. Li Yuan estimated that it would only be worth ten Divine Crystals, maybe even less.
But if sold as a whole, Li Yuan guessed that the entire array could be sold for hundreds of Divine Crystals, a value more than ten times higher than selling them separately.
“Although there are many flaws, they are overshadowed by its merits.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “If three mid-stage Demigod powerhouses with the right attributes were to use this array, they could all unleash the peak strength of a Demigod.”
This alone made this formation worth at least five hundred Divine Crystals.
You must know that the treasures Li Yuan had obtained from killing Pu Yang the Demigod and Suhar the Demigod combined were only about a hundred Divine Crystals.
This array was Li Yuan’s biggest gain this time.
…
After collecting the array, San Qiu the Demigod, under the cover of Li Yuan’s domain, quickly sank into the depths of the earth and disappeared.
As ordered by Li Yuan, without revealing herself, she would continue to hunt down the Heavenly Flight aliens of the Wan Mo civilization.
“You take care of the aftermath.” Li Yuan said to the group of Heavenly Flight warriors.
“Yes.” The group respectfully replied.
“Little Bing.” Li Yuan telepathically said, “I have already controlled that Demigod. According to the plan, continue the investigation and sweep.”
“Good, big brother.”
Li Yuan and Liu Bing quickly separated and continued to investigate and hunt down, eliminating the remaining Heavenly Flight aliens.
Although they didn’t know the exact locations of these Heavenly Flight aliens.
But at least, based on the information provided by San Qiu the Demigod, the Seven Star civilization side had already confirmed the number of Heavenly Flight aliens on Lan Tie Star.
Now, it was equivalent to having four Demigods working together to investigate.
…
Deep within the earth, Li Yuan traveled at a speed of five kilometers per second, moving through the rock layers.
Heavenly Flight warriors could easily burrow into the earth and travel.
Let alone Li Yuan’s current strength, traversing the earth was effortless.
However, merely traveling through the earth, impeded by the soil and rock, slowed him down considerably.
Fortunately!
Li Yuan had crossed the threshold of Earth Law, triggering the mysteries of the Earth. This allowed him to maintain a decent speed within the earth.
“On Lan Tie Star.”
“There are only a few hundred Heavenly Flight aliens left. That’s good.”
“However, with these remaining aliens, it’s simply not enough to raise my Spiritual Awakening level to 80%. It might be difficult to even reach 77%.” Li Yuan thought to himself, glancing at some of the prompts on the Divine Palace panel.
“【You killed a fourth-tier creature and broke through the shackles of the Divine Palace. Your Spiritual Awakening limit has been increased to 80%】”
“【Due to the accumulation of Spiritual Nourishment in the past, your Spiritual Awakening level has been increased from 75% to 75.9%】”
“【You killed a fourth-tier creature and obtained Spiritual Nourishment. Your Spiritual Awakening level has been increased from 75.9% to 76%】”
“【You killed… 76.1%】”
Just from these Divine Palace reminders, Li Yuan realized his previous speculation was correct.
To break through the bottleneck of exceeding 75% in Spiritual Awakening, it was necessary to kill a Demigod.
But this was just the first step in raising the Spiritual Awakening limit to 100%. After that, killing wouldn’t be enough.
His spiritual power had to become stronger.
“My spiritual power is at level 48, and it’s still not enough to raise the Spiritual Awakening limit to 85%. I estimate that my spiritual power needs to transform into the Void God level.” Li Yuan made a judgment.
For the Heart Temple to truly unleash its power, it required extremely high spiritual power.
A slow start means a slow finish.
If Li Yuan hadn’t been frantically cultivating the Observance Technique all along, even betting on enormous risks, he wouldn’t have achieved what he had today.
“If I want to awaken a Nine-Star Vein in the Heavenly Flight Realm, the fourth Spiritual Guidance will be the biggest help.” Li Yuan knew this very clearly, “To do so, I must achieve a 100% Spiritual Awakening level.”
First, the limit must be raised to 100%.
Second, he needed to obtain enough Spiritual Nourishment.
“Including my two-year massacre of the second-tier Star Boundary, I have killed over a thousand Heavenly Flight warriors in total, and I’ve only increased my Spiritual Awakening level by 0.9%?” Li Yuan concluded, “In other words, after the Spiritual Awakening level exceeds 75%, it takes killing a hundred Heavenly Flight aliens to progress by 0.1%?”
“And killing a single alien Demigod increases it by 0.1%?”
Just from this, Li Yuan understood that he still had a long way to go before reaching a 100% Spiritual Awakening level.
Besides the need for at least a Void God-level soul!
Second, he needed to kill at least two hundred alien Demigods… But Demigods are not that easy to kill.
He who walks by the river will surely get his feet wet.
In this case, if he had encountered a peak Demigod before breaking through, Li Yuan would have had to use his life-saving artifacts.
What if he encountered two in a row? He would be in danger of falling.
“After my Gun Technique breaks through, with my own strength, I have a certain chance of survival against a peak Demigod.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “But I’m sure to die if I encounter a Demigod at the limit.”
“If I fight to the death with the alien Demigods, I must have stronger power.” Li Yuan thought of this, and again looked at the Divine Palace panel.
——
【Life Level: 38.9 (Third Tier)】
Spiritual Power: 48
Willpower: 47
Spiritual Awakening Level: 76.1% (Current Limit 80%)
Star Vein: 8-Star Vein (10 layers + 10 layers + 10 layers + 10 layers + 10 layers + 8 layers + 7 layers + 4 layers)
Skill Proficiency: Earth Law (Seventh-Stage Initial Stage), Wind True Meaning (Sixth-Stage Perfection), Water Mystery (Fifth-Stage 36%), Wood Mystery (Fifth-Stage 29%), Gold Mystery (19%), Fire Mystery (Fifth-Stage 17%)
Nine-Tier Star Art: ‘Earth Star Vein True Explanation’: Third-Tier 9 (27)
Nine-Tier Star Art: ‘Heavenly Wind Star Vein True Explanation’: Third-Tier 9 (27)
Nine-Tier Star Art: ‘All Things Divine Body’: Third-Tier 9 (27)
Nine-Tier Star Art: ‘Heaven River Domain’: Third-Tier 9 (27)
Seven-Tier Star Art: ‘Nine Shadow Clones’: Third-Tier 7 (21)
…
“My Star Arts are almost at the Heavenly Flight limit. Even if I later cultivate ‘Myriad Shadow Void’ to the Third-Tier limit, it won’t significantly improve my strength. It will just greatly enhance my ability to survive.” Li Yuan clearly understood this, “Then, if I want to increase my strength now, I have only one path.”
“One is to obtain stronger divine artifacts, and the other is to make my Gun Technique even stronger.”
“For example, if I can comprehend the third move of the ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’, my strength will naturally skyrocket.” Li Yuan thought to himself.
But regardless of which method, it would be very difficult.
Even if he obtained powerful divine artifacts, he needed a sufficiently high realm to unleash their power.
“Ultimately, the core is Law comprehension.” Li Yuan thought silently, “Whether it’s Earth Law or Wind True Meaning… I still have a lot of room for improvement.”
He had only been a Heavenly Flight warrior for less than two years.
These two auxiliary strongest Star Arts, seemingly not significantly improving his strength directly, but they were indispensable for Li Yuan’s rapid progress in Law.
“After the battle on Lan Tie Star is over, I will continue to ponder Wind True Meaning.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Break through sooner, comprehend the Thousand Illusion Diagram sooner… then I can go to the Nine Leaf World.”
Li Yuan had not forgotten the Alliance Leader’s promise.
The day he became a Heavenly Flight warrior and comprehended the Thousand Illusion Diagram, he could go to the Nine Leaf World. That was Li Yuan’s greatest opportunity in the Heavenly Flight Realm.
…
Time flowed by, day after day.
With the addition of San Qiu the Demigod as a new force, combined with the basic confirmation of the Wan Mo civilization’s strength on Lan Tie Star… the Seven Star civilization’s cleansing efforts quickly accelerated.
Another month later, the Seven Star civilization side had killed hundreds of Heavenly Flight aliens.
Based on the information gathered, it was basically confirmed that the number of Heavenly Flight aliens on Lan Tie Star had fallen below one hundred.
After rounds of frantic cleansing, the remaining Heavenly Flight aliens had been thoroughly frightened. They were hiding extremely deep, and it was very difficult to find them directly.
If it weren’t for the fact that Heavenly Flight warriors couldn’t live in the starry sky for long periods of time, these Heavenly Flight aliens would have escaped into the starry sky long ago.
At this point.
The battle on Lan Tie Star was basically over. Many of the Heavenly Flight warriors who had come to support began to retreat one after another.
Many areas and Star Boundaries on the Seven major planets needed more Heavenly Flight warriors to support them.
Similarly, Li Yuan also received an order to return.
Lan Tie Star, LA City, this was the entrance to the Sixth Star Boundary, the first city Li Yuan reached when he arrived on this planet.
A twelve-story building, in the top-floor hotel.
“Li Yuan, thanks for your help during this Lan Tie Star crisis.” Mu Ji the Demigod was wearing casual clothes today. He raised his wine glass to Li Yuan, his voice full of gratitude, “If it weren’t for you and your spiritual beast, just relying on us, Lan Tie Star might have been destroyed.”
“You flatter me.” Li Yuan smiled.
Although he had been on Lan Tie Star for so long, this was the first time he had met Mu Ji the Demigod.
The personality he displayed appealed to Li Yuan.
“I’m not flattering you. I’m truly grateful.” Mu Ji the Demigod said, “I have learned that those three alien Demigods working together, if they had attacked me or An Ji… the outcome is hard to say.”
“But they went to deal with you, and you captured or killed them.”
An Ji the Demigod was the name of another Demigod Initial Stage powerhouse on Lan Tie Star.
“Your strength is even stronger than mine. I am grateful.” Mu Ji the Demigod sincerely exclaimed, “Lan Tie Star is my hometown. When the crisis broke out, I was very worried that it would repeat the fate of Feixing.”
“This battle, although the losses were huge, at least most people survived.” Mu Ji the Demigod said.
Li Yuan also felt quite emotional.
Why were there so many Demigods on Feixing? Besides the fact that Feixing had the most Third-Tier Star Boundaries to guard, it was also because Feixing was more suitable for cultivation.
The strongest inheritance, the most Demigods interacting with each other… all contributed to many Demigods wanting to stay on Feixing.
But many Demigods also had affection for their home planet.
Just like Li Yuan, he also valued the other planets in his civilization, but undoubtedly, Blue Star was the most important in his heart.
“I will let San Qiu the Demigod stay for another three months, continue to investigate Lan Tie Star inside and out, and try to find out more about the Heavenly Flight aliens.” Li Yuan said, “But Little Bing and I are going to return to Feixing.”
He could hide the matter of San Qiu the Demigod from other planets’ Demigods, but he couldn’t hide it from Mu Ji the Demigod.
Whew!
A small green snake darted out from the sleeve of Li Yuan’s arm, staring at Mu Ji the Demigod, and snorted, “You big fool, remember, don’t call me spiritual beast, spiritual beast. My name is Liu Bing.”
“Is that the divine snake? It’s actually shrunk to this size? And its aura is completely concealed?” Mu Ji the Demigod was astonished.
“Of course.” Liu Bing said proudly.
“Haha, okay, I remember, I will call you by name in the future.” Mu Ji the Demigod laughed.
He knew how powerful Liu Bing was. She was probably even stronger than him, and her speed was far beyond his.
“Alright, Mu Ji brother, I’m going to take my leave.” Li Yuan raised his cup and smiled.
“Safe travels.”
…
Without informing anyone else, Li Yuan took Liu Bing and quickly passed through the Sixth Star Boundary, returning to Feixing.
As soon as he flew out from the other end of the Star Boundary entrance.
“Li Yuan, you’ve returned to Feixing. Come to Starfire Martial Temple headquarters to see me immediately.” Fang Hai had already sent a transmission.
“The planet’s defense system is truly extraordinary.” Li Yuan muttered to himself, “I’ve just returned to Feixing, and the principal already knows?”
Obviously, the Seven Star civilization’s control over Feixing was far beyond anything Lan Tie Star could compare to.
“Big brother, do I need to go back to the Sky Snake Palace?” Liu Bing stuck her head out of her sleeve.
“No need.”
“This time, I’ll go see the principal and get you an identity.” Li Yuan smiled slightly, “From now on, you can roam freely within the Seven Star civilization. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
“Good.” Liu Bing’s eyes lit up. Although she had gained a lot of knowledge, she also yearned to experience more people and things in her heart.
Interacting with other creatures, in a way, was also a part of cultivation.
“Big brother, let me carry you there.” Liu Bing chuckled softly, “You’re too slow flying.”
“What do you mean slow?” Li Yuan rolled his eyes. After breaking through, his flight speed on the ground had reached ten kilometers per second.
That was about 30 times the speed of sound.
But soon, Li Yuan didn’t say anything anymore because Liu Bing, after making her body larger, had him on her back, truly revealing her terrifying speed.
Buzz~
Silently and subtly, a faint blue light streaked across the sky. There was no vibration in the air at all.
“Twenty kilometers per second?” Li Yuan was speechless.
Even on Feixing, Liu Bing hadn’t unleashed such a terrifying speed.
“Big brother, I’m just helping to search and hunt, so I naturally won’t unleash my full power.” Liu Bing telepathically said, “Besides, I have just cultivated the Nine-Tier Star Art ‘Riven Heaven Wings’ to the Third-Tier limit.”
Li Yuan understood, but he was still quite astonished.
Demigods could generally reach a flight speed of 20 times the speed of sound, about seven kilometers per second.
Mid-stage Demigods generally had a flight speed of about nine kilometers per second.
Peak Demigods generally had a flight speed of about ten to twelve kilometers per second.
Of course, if they were cultivators of the Wind vein or Thunder vein, their speed would be faster. And if they cultivated a dimensional travel Star Art, their speed would also increase significantly.
But few Demigods could achieve a flight speed as terrifying as Liu Bing’s.
“Even a Demigod at the limit, if they aren’t adept at speed, they probably wouldn’t be able to catch up to Little Bing.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “A top-tier wind-type divine beast, coupled with the Nine-Tier dimensional travel Star Art, truly stands out in speed among all Heavenly Flight warriors.”
Looking at the entire Seven Star civilization.
Besides Alliance Leader Dong Fangji, Li Yuan estimated that no Demigod could catch up to Liu Bing.
That’s how it was.
In less than half an hour, Liu Bing had already brought Li Yuan to the Starfire Martial Temple headquarters.
