High Martial Arts Era 406
by adminLi Yuan felt a sense of helplessness.
This Abyssal Demon Blood Cavern was actually a legacy left behind by a Celestial God, how rare was that? He had arrived too late?
This was fate.
Of course, Li Yuan understood that even in the Divine Realm, where Celestial Gods were as numerous as the clouds, if word got out that a Celestial God had left behind a legacy, it would probably attract countless Celestial Gods to fight for it.
Why did the Buried Immortal Ancient Domain attract so many False Gods and True Gods from the Divine Realm? Wasn’t it because those Gods believed that it could possibly be a treasure of the Celestial God level?
What’s more, in the Starry Sky Continent, where Celestial Gods were even rarer?
Theoretically, this Celestial God left behind his legacy, and it took over 10,000 years to find a suitable successor. This was already considered very slow.
“Li Yuan, don’t be discouraged,” Gu You transmitted his voice, “Life is full of uncertainty, how can you expect things to go smoothly every time? Many powerful individuals, if they are unlucky, might encounter numerous life-threatening crises. They might not gain any treasures, but instead lose some life-saving objects, or even their lives.”
“At least, you’re alive,” Gu You transmitted his voice.
Li Yuan sighed inwardly. While this was true, he couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
After all, Celestial Gods were far more powerful than True Gods.
If he could obtain a Celestial God legacy, the gains would surely be far greater than what Gu Ju True God and Qiu Bing Zun had given him, making his trip to the Starry Sky Continent worthwhile.
But opportunities, once lost, are lost.
The Starry Sky Continent was vast, with a supposed 3,000 divine nations, but Li Yuan didn’t think there could be many Celestial Gods… perhaps the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities could have Celestial Gods residing in them from generation to generation.
But would the Celestial Gods of the Starry Sky Ancient Cities leave their legacies outside?
Like himself, if he wanted to leave a legacy, he would definitely leave it within the Seven Stars Civilization.
“Seems like you’re quite disappointed?” The black-robed old man chuckled.
“If I say I’m not disappointed, I’d be lying to you, senior.” Li Yuan shook his head. “But it’s my good fortune if I get it, and my fate if I don’t… Since I’m destined to not get it, there’s no need to think about it anymore.”
“Hm, your mindset is good.” The black-robed old man nodded. “Although the most precious treasures of the master have been taken by his direct disciple.”
“But each legacy location, apart from one direct disciple spot, actually has two inner disciple spots,” the black-robed old man said.
“Inner disciples?” Li Yuan’s heart, which had just calmed down, suddenly lit up.
Inner disciples were good!
A Celestial God’s inner disciple, generally speaking, would also receive guidance from the Celestial God and some gifts, but not as much as the direct disciple.
However, inner disciples usually had a higher status than True God direct disciples.
“Unfortunately, the inner disciple spots were filled long ago.” The black-robed old man spread his hands. “They were filled even earlier than the direct disciple spots, because the requirements were lower.”
Li Yuan’s face instantly turned pale.
Are you messing with me?
Seeing Li Yuan’s pained expression, the black-robed old man finally laughed, “Alright, kid, I’m not teasing you anymore. The direct disciple and inner disciple spots are indeed all filled… But there are still quite a few of the 100 registered disciple spots.”
“Are you willing?” The black-robed old man asked.
“Registered disciples?” Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
Just from the number, you can tell the difference, one legacy location would choose 100… ten legacy locations, that’s equivalent to choosing 1,000 registered disciples?
How many are there?
Even if they were Celestial God registered disciples, their status and the treasures they could obtain were not as good as True God direct disciples… But, it was better than nothing.
“Senior, do I need to undergo any other tests?” Li Yuan asked.
“No need.” The black-robed old man shook his head. “If it were a direct disciple spot, you would need to complete some tests, but for a registered disciple spot… with your talent and strength, there’s no need for further testing.”
“If I become a registered disciple, what do I need to do? And what can I get?” Li Yuan asked.
Rewards usually come with sacrifices.
This world is about equivalence. This mysterious Celestial God expended his energy setting up ten legacy locations, he must have had a purpose.
“If you become a direct disciple, the requirements are very strict,” the black-robed old man chuckled. “But for a registered disciple… there’s only one requirement.”
“If you become a Celestial God or a Demi-God in the future and participate in the Ancestral Realm War to obtain the ‘Ancestral Realm Token’, you must publicly acknowledge that you are the master’s registered disciple.” The black-robed old man smiled.
A gleam flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes.
Ancestral Realm Token? He had actually heard about the ‘Ancestral Realm Token’ from the black-robed old man?
You must know, the core of the ‘Eternal Palace Mission’ that Li Yuan received was actually two things.
1. Become a Three-Star Nine-Pulse.
2. Obtain the Ancestral Realm Token after becoming a Demi-God.
Once both were accomplished, he would be considered to have completed the final Purple-clothed Mission and should be able to end his trip to the Starry Sky Continent.
But after arriving for so many days, Li Yuan had thought that he would need to go to some core locations of the divine nations in order to find out about the Ancestral Realm Token.
He hadn’t expected it.
To learn about it here.
“Senior, what is the Ancestral Realm Token? How can I obtain it?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
“You don’t know?” The black-robed old man’s eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. “With your strength, you should at least know about the Seven Stars Pulse… Heavenly Flight Seven Stars Pulse. Logically speaking, some major forces would have told you about it, especially with the next Ancestral Realm War approaching.”
“I truly don’t know.” Li Yuan shook his head. He could only pretend to be clueless.
“That’s true.”
“After all, you’re only a Heavenly Flight Realm, you’ve only been cultivating for a short time. Even if you quickly become a Demi-God and then participate in the Ancestral Realm War, it’s difficult to obtain the Ancestral Realm Token.” The black-robed old man said, “Perhaps your elders didn’t tell you.”
“Let me tell you.”
“These are also things the master learned after becoming a Celestial God… It’s a secret, but the master didn’t say we couldn’t disclose it.” The black-robed old man said nonchalantly.
Li Yuan was speechless.
He could also tell that the black-robed old man in front of him wasn’t a real lifeform, but his thoughts were quite erratic.
“Legend has it that beyond our world, there is a more vast and boundless world called the Divine Realm.” The black-robed old man said, “Our Starry Sky Continent was once part of the Divine Realm, but for some unknown reason, we separated from the Divine Realm.”
The Starry Sky Continent was once part of the Divine Realm? Li Yuan was slightly shocked.
This was definitely a shocking piece of news.
Suddenly, Li Yuan instantly understood why there were ‘Starry Sky Ancient Cities’ on the Starry Sky Continent, and why Gu You and Qiu Bing Zun’s databases didn’t contain any records about the Starry Sky Continent.
“But according to the master, we are not completely isolated from the Divine Realm.” The black-robed old man said.
“Legend has it that the Ancestral Realm is the passage.”
“The Ancestral Realm is a special world created by the greatest existence in our world, the ‘Ancestral Realm Founder’, located in a mysterious place, it also contains the ultimate secrets of the Starry Sky Continent… these are all legends, even the master is unsure about their truthfulness.” The black-robed old man shrugged. “Just take it as entertainment.”
Li Yuan silently took note.
Ancestral Realm Founder? The name probably means he’s very powerful.
“What I’m going to say next is the truth.”
“The so-called Ancestral Realm War, on the surface, is a grand event jointly organized by the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, but in reality, it is a rule set by the Ancestral Realm Founder, held in the Ancestral Realm… it takes place every 500 years. Any Demi-God who passes the ‘Starry Sky Nine Gates’ can participate in the war.”
Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.
It sounded like this Ancestral Realm War should be the ‘Demi-God Genius War’.
To select talented Demi-Gods, right?
As far as Li Yuan knew, similar genius competitions often took place in the Divine Realm, like in various divine courts, and even in the vast territories under the control of many Celestial Gods… they would select talented individuals and cultivate more talents. After all, Gods also have a limited lifespan.
“In the Ancestral Realm War, Demi-Gods fight for the Ancestral Realm Token.”
The black-robed old man chuckled. “In every Ancestral Realm War, three to ten Ancestral Realm Tokens will appear. Any Demi-God who obtains the Ancestral Realm Token will have the opportunity to receive an opportunity bestowed by the Ancestral Realm Founder.”
“The Ancestral Realm Founder is above the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities. Even the Lonely Cloud Celestial God is far inferior to him… According to the master, in the vast Divine Realm, the Ancestral Realm Founder stands at the very peak.”
Li Yuan held his breath.
The peak of the Divine Realm?
Beyond the Celestial Gods?
The Divine Realm was vast, every Celestial God would rule over a vast territory and be considered a peak powerhouse… but the leaders of various divine courts, their strength was beyond that of the Celestial Gods.
“Because it involves the Ancestral Realm Founder, every time the Ancestral Realm War comes, the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the 3,000 divine nations, and countless life planets from the outer starry sky, top Demi-God geniuses will usually participate.” The black-robed old man sighed. “To be able to pass the Starry Sky Nine Gates, you must at least be a Demi-God at the peak level.”
“This is the minimum requirement to participate.”
“If you’re any weaker than that, you dare to participate, then you’re simply courting death.” The black-robed old man said.
“Anyone who can stand out in the Ancestral Realm War and obtain the Ancestral Realm Token… is a monstrous genius who dominates the entire Starry Sky Continent for a time.” The black-robed old man said.
“How long until the next Ancestral Realm War?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s coming soon, twelve years from now,” the black-robed old man said.
At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood the difficulty of the Purple-clothed Mission.
You must know, a nation like the Abyssal Nation could be compared to the number of powerful individuals in his home world, or even more.
The Abyssal Nation had a ‘Jiang Shan Demi-God’ whose strength could rival a False God, he was also a Seven Stars Pulse.
There were 3,000 divine nations on the Starry Sky Continent!
There were also some powerful sects and forces.
And above them all were the three great Starry Sky Ancient Cities. The number of strong individuals from the outer starry sky was even countless… how many powerful Demi-Gods could there be?
Just thinking about it, Li Yuan felt his scalp tingling!
Even if a few super strong Demi-Gods with strength comparable to Eastern Alliance Leader emerged, Li Yuan wouldn’t be surprised.
And he, had to kill his way into the top ten among this group of powerful Demi-Gods?
If he could cultivate for another thirty to fifty years, even without awakening the Nine Stars Pulse, Li Yuan would be very confident.
But the key was, only twelve years remained.
“No wonder, this Ancestral Realm Token mission is more difficult than awakening the Nine Stars Pulse at the Third-Star level.” Li Yuan shook his head inwardly.
“Kid, don’t even think about it.” The black-robed old man chuckled. “You’re only at the Heavenly Flight Realm, with only twelve years left, it’s too short. Your understanding of the laws simply can’t compare to those top Demi-Gods who have been cultivating for hundreds of years.”
“Why not wait five hundred years and participate in the next Ancestral Realm War?”
“By then, with your talent, you’ll be able to easily obtain the Ancestral Realm Token.”
“Waiting five hundred years for the Ancestral Realm Token during the Demi-God stage isn’t a waste of time. You might even awaken the Eight Stars Pulse.”
