High Martial Arts Era 369

Chapter 369: Harvest! The Secret of the Divine Spear

The last time Li Yuan visited the Artifact Chamber, he had his eyes on these two artifacts. However, he didn’t have enough Seven Star Points at the time, so he only exchanged for a normal artifact long spear.

Now, Li Yuan felt he had enough.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

With a wave of Elder Yun’s hand, an artifact that was imprisoned in the void in the distance floated over.

It landed directly in front of Li Yuan.

This was an artifact shaped like a long, pale green shuttle. It emitted a hazy glow on its surface, like a group of nebulae.

“Star Nebula Void Shuttle.” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up.

He had already sensed this artifact beforehand, knowing its general information.

This was a wind-based artifact, a top-grade artifact among the Void Artifacts. It was a flying artifact that could change its size, allowing for effortless travel through the sky, across the sea, or even through the stars.

If one were to reach a high level of comprehension of the wind principle and unleash its full potential, its flying speed could reach a terrifying level, surpassing even many Void Gods.

At the same time, the Star Nebula Void Shuttle’s defensive power was also incredible. Hiding inside, even Void God powerhouses wouldn’t be able to break through.

Of course, this artifact also had weaknesses. First, when flying at ultra-high speeds, its flexibility was lacking, making it unsuitable for close-quarters combat. It was only suitable for chasing or escaping.

Second, once you hid inside, you could only rely on the artifact’s inherent power. Your own attacks couldn’t penetrate outward. If the enemy was extremely powerful, even if they couldn’t break through the artifact’s defense, they could completely suppress it directly.

But for Li Yuan, what he valued was the Star Nebula Void Shuttle’s speed advantage.

“In terms of defense, if I hide in the Ancient Divine Palace, that would be truly invincible.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “But the Ancient Divine Palace is a Cave Heaven Treasure, and its movement speed is very slow.”

“If Xiao Bing was here, this Star Nebula Void Shuttle wouldn’t be very useful.”

“But I can’t always rely on Xiao Bing to follow me.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Before I become a Demi-God, I can’t cultivate Evasion Techniques and Star Arts, so I can only rely on treasures to make up for it.”

At least before becoming a Demi-God, this Star Nebula Void Shuttle would be a great help to Li Yuan.

“If you want to exchange for this Star Nebula Void Shuttle, it costs 30 million Seven Star Points.” Elder Yun said, “Do you want to exchange?”

“Confirm.” Li Yuan nodded.

“Alright, take it.” Elder Yun smiled.

After Li Yuan put away the Star Nebula Void Shuttle, Elder Yun waved his hand again. A stream of light flew out from the depths of the Artifact Chamber. It was a spear, resembling an artifact forged from ancient bronze, emitting an ancient aura. Faint traces of mottled marks could be seen on the spear, as if they were left from countless battles.

“This Dark Star Divine Spear is cheaper.” Elder Yun looked at Li Yuan, “Only 8 million Seven Star Points.”

“Its material is special. Its owner obtained it from the Nine Mountain World. It’s extremely sharp. It should be a top-grade artifact among Void Artifacts… but its fatal flaw is that it doesn’t have a source.” Elder Yun said, “This is why it’s priced at 8 million Seven Star Points.”

The reason why artifacts are so powerful is because they possess a source. The source contains corresponding law principles, or even complete methods of law application.

Only then can a strong individual, wielding an artifact, unleash its source and explode with power far exceeding their normal strength. The source energy consumed is also much less than direct attacks.

If an artifact lacks a source, then it’s just an empty shell.

A normal top-grade Void Artifact, even a common spear, should be worth hundreds of cubic divine crystals.

“If you use it, its power won’t be stronger than your current artifact spear.” Elder Yun said, “It might even be weaker.”

“I want it.” Li Yuan said.

No source?

It was precisely because this ‘Dark Star Divine Spear’ lacked a source, lacked attributes, was like a blank sheet of paper, that he wanted to exchange for it.

“Alright, since you’re so eager.” Elder Yun smiled slightly, “Then this Dark Star Divine Spear is yours.”

“Gift?” Li Yuan was taken aback.

“This spear, if left here, probably no Demi-God would exchange for it. It would just gather dust. Only in your hands can it unleash its power.” Elder Yun said with a smile, “Secondly, you should understand that the so-called Seven Star Points are essentially a form of currency established by the owner based on his own strength as credit, using the treasures he possesses as equivalents.”

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

The Seven Star Points themselves are essentially worthless. What is valuable are the numerous treasures in the Seven Star Treasury.

“The owner will eventually leave.” Elder Yun sighed, looking at Li Yuan, “The entire civilization needs you and Principal Fang to support it. The Seven Star Treasury will eventually be controlled by you… Simply put, once you become a Demi-God, the Seven Star Points will become meaningless to you.”

“At that time, whether the Seven Star Points still work will depend on you and Principal Fang.” Elder Yun said.

Li Yuan understood.

In the past, the Seven Star Points were based on the establishment of Dongfang Ji… but in the future, it would depend on himself and the Principal.

“When you become a Demi-God, I’ll tell you more about it.”

“At that time, all the treasures in the treasury that are beneficial to your cultivation, you can take.” Elder Yun said, “But similarly, during your adventures, if you have some unnecessary treasures, I hope you’ll place them in the treasury.”

“Understood.” Li Yuan smiled, “Don’t worry, Elder Yun, I’ll do my best.”

Elder Yun nodded. He had been secretly observing Li Yuan. He was very satisfied with Li Yuan’s actions.

“It’s just that right now, I haven’t taken control of the Seven Star Treasury. Everything should still follow the rules.” Li Yuan said with a smile, “How many Seven Star Points should be deducted, deduct accordingly.”

“Also, I still need to purchase some treasures from the treasury.” Li Yuan said, “I can’t just take everything from you.”

Elder Yun was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, “Alright.”

…

After putting away both artifacts, Elder Yun said, “Li Yuan, weren’t you going to seek status for your spirit beast and that Demi-God servant?” “This is what I’ve prepared for you.”

Whoosh! With a wave of Elder Yun’s hand, two purple crystals emitting strange light fell from the void.

“These crystals contain many functions.”

“After they refine them, they will be considered ‘Demi-God Guests’ of my Seven Star Civilization.” Elder Yun said, “They can enjoy the same treatment as a second-class star lord within the civilization and can also exchange for treasures in the Seven Star Treasury.”

“Moreover, through these crystals, they can also log into the virtual network and have permission to enter some important places of the civilization…” Elder Yun quickly explained.

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily. It sounded pretty good.

“Thank you, Elder Yun.” Li Yuan smiled, waving his hand to collect the two purple crystals.

…

Two hours later, Li Yuan arrived at a ‘treasure exchange location’ not far from the Starfire Martial Temple headquarters.

The area was very spacious, with many flying vehicles parked.

“Star Lord Li Yuan.” A middle-aged man with a bushy beard had been waiting here, bowing respectfully, “I’m Kaderov. I’ve been ordered to wait for you here. This is your fourth-order warship, just delivered.”

“Hmm.” Li Yuan looked in the direction he pointed.

He saw a huge disc-shaped warship parked in the open area, its diameter exceeding one hundred meters and its height exceeding thirty meters. It was undoubtedly a behemoth.

The surface of the warship had a stunning streamlined beauty.

Beautiful!

Looking at this warship, Li Yuan felt that it was even more beautiful than the fourth-order warships he had seen in many Star Boundaries.

“This is the warship the Alliance equipped for me?” Li Yuan was intrigued.

As the Blue Star Total Hall Master and Blue Star Leader, he not only had numerous privileges but also many rights.

Equipping a dedicated warship was one of them.

“Star Lord, there are many types of fourth-order warships.” Kaderov introduced, “Those deployed in the second-level Star Boundary and third-level Star Boundary are mostly the cheapest ones, and their main energy supply is the main cannon… The warship itself is greatly compromised in terms of agility and defensive power.”

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily. The fourth-order warships in the Star Boundary were mainly used to deal with alien flying beasts, so the main cannon function was naturally the most important.

“But your warship is a special one, without a main cannon.”

“After all, your own strength far surpasses the power of the main cannon itself.” Kaderov said, “This warship emphasizes your safety and cultivation attributes.”

“Its surface is specially reinforced with many special alloys. There are no main cannon positions, so its overall defensive power is greatly enhanced. Even a Demi-God would have to attack it repeatedly to break through its defense.” Kaderov said, “Its power is also extremely strong. Its flying speed far exceeds that of normal fourth-order warships. Within the planet, its fastest speed can reach 10 kilometers per second.”

“Furthermore, its weapon room, quiet room… allows you to stay inside the warship for long periods of time and cultivate peacefully.”

Li Yuan’s heart didn’t feel much fluctuation.

10 kilometers per second? My flight speed is already as fast as that.

For other Demi-Gods, such a top-tier fourth-order warship is extremely useful. It’s a safe haven where they can cultivate wholeheartedly. Its flight speed is also faster than their own.

Therefore, its exchange price in the Seven Star Treasury is 1 million Seven Star Points.

Almost as expensive as an artifact.

But for Li Yuan?

“If I need to travel, I can use the Star Nebula Void Shuttle. If I need to retreat and cultivate, the Ancient Divine Palace is safer.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “The biggest use of this warship… is its symbol of status.”

Li Yuan remembered that the Principal also had such a warship, which was always suspended above Kunlun Martial Arts University.

“Be the Principal.”

“Naturally, I need to make it so that the students can’t find the Principal’s office.” Li Yuan revealed a mysterious smile.

Soon after, Kaderov introduced Li Yuan to the warship step by step. Li Yuan gradually gained control of the warship and left his bound system function. This warship was basically fully automatic. Its internal intelligence was extremely high. It even had an auxiliary AI.

“Star Lord Li Yuan, you can control the warship now.” Kaderov’s eyes flashed with envy, “I’ll go down now.”

He was a peak Flying Beast Warrior, but he knew very well that he wouldn’t be able to afford this warship in his lifetime.

After all, many Demi-Gods, if they haven’t accumulated much wealth, wouldn’t be willing to buy it.

“Alright.” Li Yuan watched him leave, the warship’s hatch slowly closed, creating complete silence.

“Xiao Yu.” Li Yuan spoke.

“Welcome, Master. Xiao Yu is at your service.” A clear voice rang out.

Whoosh! A large amount of light and shadow converged, forming a girl’s figure beside him.

This was Li Yuan’s naming habit.

“Authorize, log in to the virtual network.” Li Yuan instructed, “Then set off and go to the Martial God Star Boundary.”

Before returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan wanted to go back to the Martial God Star Boundary.

“Yes.” The girl said respectfully.

The entire map of the Seven Star Civilization, including the ‘interstellar routes’ between different planets, had been recorded in the warship’s ‘database’, ensuring that once Li Yuan issued an order, the auxiliary AI could directly control the warship to reach its destination.

At the same time, the warship’s AI had extremely high permissions and could constantly update the database through the network.

Buzz!

The warship on the runway quickly took off and then disappeared into the sky. This scene also attracted the attention of many people.

Those who could be here had extraordinary perspectives. They knew the difference between fourth-order warships.

A fourth-order warship with such an appearance wasn’t common in the entire Seven Star Civilization.

“It must be the warship of some Demi-God.”

“This kind of warship, they say, is shockingly expensive. Even all the wealth of a peak Flying Beast Warrior wouldn’t be able to buy a single room on the warship.”

…

The warship activated the ‘stealth’ mode and sped across the starry sky.

In the quiet room, a large screen appeared.

“As a first-class star lord.”

“I have permission to know the approximate locations of the other Demi-Gods in the civilization?” Li Yuan browsed through various duties and permissions of ‘first-class star lord’ and ‘Blue Star Total Hall Master’.

These were all just sent by the Three-Leaf Demi-God.

The so-called Blue Star Total Hall Master was actually a dual identity. The first identity was the ‘Total Hall Master’ of the Starfire Blue Star Branch, managing the Starfire Martial Temple on Blue Star.

The other identity was ‘Blue Star Leader’.

“Starfire Martial Temple, Stellaluna Martial Temple, Blackstone Martial Temple.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “They seem like three major martial temples, but in reality, at the highest level, they are essentially the same.”

Li Yuan also understood the intentions of the Alliance Leader and Randt Demi-God.

This would encourage competition among the lower levels, including the division of the entire Alliance into so many countries. It was the same principle… When you reach the highest level, you will realize that everything is under the control of the ‘Seven Star Conference’.

Demi-Gods are secretly controlling everything.

“Demi-God, a single thought can destroy a megacity.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “This is the strongest force in the entire civilization, naturally possessing the greatest power.”

“The Blue Star Leader is the leader of the entire Blue Star, usually chosen from among the three Blue Star Hall Masters of the three major martial temples.”

“Three choose one.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “In the years since the Principal left, it was Bai Shan Demi-God who temporarily managed the Blue Star affairs of the Starfire Martial Temple. Was it Soilo Demi-God, who temporarily served as the Blue Star Leader?”

Soilo Demi-God was one of the seven Demi-Gods stationed on Blue Star and one of the two current Demi-God mid-level powerhouses on Blue Star.

Li Yuan’s taking over this time also meant that Soilo Demi-God’s position was revoked.

“We’ll talk about it when I get back to Blue Star.” Li Yuan thought to himself, and directly closed the screen in front of him.

Then, he turned off all the recording and video functions in the quiet room.

Soon, two figures appeared, one in white and the other a horned, sturdy figure.

“Sister, Qiu Senior.”

Li Yuan smiled slightly, “You asked me to exchange for the Dark Star Divine Spear last time. This time, I’ve gotten it.”

That’s right.

Exchanging for the Dark Star Divine Spear wasn’t Li Yuan’s idea, but rather the guidance of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun.

Li Yuan flipped his palm, and the ancient spear appeared in front of Gu You and Qiu Bingzun.

“Good spear.” Qiu Bingzun’s eyes lit up, “I was right. If I and Gu You reforge this artifact, it will definitely be a top-grade artifact among Void Artifacts… It will be enough for you to use for a long time.”
