High Martial Arts Era 407
by adminChapter 407: The Mirror of Laws
Eight-Star Pulse Awakening? Li Yuan muttered to himself, he was already an Eight-Star Pulse.
But he wasn’t surprised by the black-robed elder’s inaccuracy.
Star Pulses were inner-focused, very difficult to detect externally. Judging them from life energy wasn’t very accurate either.
Especially after his strength had become powerful. If a True God-level expert examined him thoroughly, they could certainly tell, but judging from appearance alone? Others wouldn’t have the same abilities as him, with a Divine Palace to use as a means of investigation.
“Five hundred years, that’s too long, I’ve only been cultivating for a few decades now,” Li Yuan said with a smile, shaking his head.
He was intentionally saying this, but it was also what Li Yuan was truly thinking.
Five hundred years? Li Yuan couldn’t wait that long.
If he went back after that long, the Seven-Star Civilization would likely have changed dramatically. Many of his friends and relatives might already be dead from old age.
“Haha, no rush, you won’t be able to catch up this time anyway,” the black-robed elder laughed. “Semi-God is the last stage before becoming a God, and it’s a crucial one… Think it over slowly. After a hundred years have passed, your thoughts might change.”
“Becoming a God hundreds of years early isn’t that significant.”
“The Ancestral Realm Token is a rare opportunity for the powerful of the Awakening Star Continent.”
The black-robed elder believed Li Yuan was too young, only a Heavenly Flight-level warrior, and had not yet come into contact with some of the super-powered individuals of the Awakening Star Continent, so he didn’t understand the meaning of the Ancestral Realm Token.
He would naturally understand it slowly later.
But he didn’t know that Li Yuan, if he was a native life form of the Awakening Star Continent, might have been willing to wait. Unfortunately, he was an outsider.
At this moment.
Li Yuan had made up his mind: “I will make every effort to find a way to participate in the war after twelve years and challenge the Ancestral Realm War… Regardless of success or failure, I will do my best.”
However difficult it might be!
Was it any harder than awakening the Second-Tier Eight-Star Pulse back then? Li Yuan was inherently a person who wouldn’t give up.
He had to try his best.
… “Senior, why would a God’s named disciple have these requirements?” Li Yuan asked with doubt.
“My master liked having a good name,” the black-robed elder chuckled. “According to my master’s intention, the more benefits you get, the greater the karmic debt… For direct disciples and inner-court disciples, the requirements are very strict. You must fulfill some of your master’s last wishes.”
“For named disciples, there’s no need to make additional requirements, after all, they receive very little… If a named disciple doesn’t become successful, then that’s fine.”
“But if they become an extremely dazzling figure, my master also hopes that the world knows that this is his named disciple, so he requires a public identity,” the black-robed elder said.
Li Yuan couldn’t help but laugh.
This God actually cared about his name so much? Even after death, he still wanted to be famous.
He was truly a strange person.
No wonder the black-robed elder in front of him was also rather peculiar in his words and actions. As the master is, so is the servant.
“I know your concerns.”
“My master has great enemies, so the inheritance places are very secret, and he doesn’t require any disciples to directly reveal their identities,” the black-robed elder said. “But these two public conditions.”
“If you become a God, you naturally won’t be afraid of my master’s enemies, even the Starry Sky Ancient City will have to respect you.”
“If you can seize the Ancestral Realm Token as a Semi-God, in the future, as long as you don’t perish, you can generally become a True God peak-level expert.”
“As long as you’re willing, you can completely join the core layer of the ‘Awakening Star Ancient City,’ and you’re just a named disciple of my master… My master’s enemies should not come to kill you.” The black-robed elder said.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
According to the rules of the Divine Realm, named disciples were essentially close to ‘followers,’ their status not even as high as some trusted followers.
Inner-court disciples were generally considered to be part of the inner circle.
In the Divine Realm, many Gods would kill each other, and if one side perished, it wouldn’t usually affect their named disciples.
Unless there was a real threat, they wouldn’t even go after the inner-court disciples.
Super-powerful individuals had their own pride.
But no matter how you put it, there was still a risk.
If this God’s enemy was someone who held grudges, that would be a big problem.
“Senior, if I become a God’s named disciple, what can I get?” Li Yuan asked directly.
The magnitude of the risk also depended on the magnitude of the reward.
“You’re so hesitant. It seems you’re set on obtaining the Ancestral Realm Token,” the black-robed elder said with a smile. “The previous dozen or so named disciples I took in, none of them hesitated this much.”
Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.
Normal Heavenly Flight-level or even Semi-God level warriors probably wouldn’t hesitate much. They would directly agree because obtaining the Ancestral Realm Token was difficult.
“According to my master’s order, all named disciples, for their first gift, will receive a gift of twenty thousand Divine Crystals,” the black-robed elder said.
Twenty thousand Divine Crystals?
Li Yuan thought to himself, that was worth the entire fortune of many Void God initial-level experts.
But for a God who was nearing the end of his life and had specifically left behind an inheritance, this was too little.
Like the Ancient Torch True God, how much treasure did he leave for his direct disciples? One Ancient Divine Palace was worth an immeasurable amount.
“The second gift depends on the named disciple’s strength, because named disciples vary in strength, so naturally the gifts can’t be completely the same.”
“If you encounter some strong named disciples, you’ll naturally have to prepare better gifts,” the black-robed elder said with a sly smile. “Like you, your strength and potential are stronger than direct disciples and inner-court disciples at the Heavenly Flight level… You’re qualified to receive one of the top three treasures in the ‘Named Disciple Treasure Vault’ and can choose any one of them.”
“What are the top three treasures?” Li Yuan asked with curiosity.
“The top three treasures include two True Divine Artifacts, both painstakingly crafted by my master, they can be considered the ultimate in True Divine Artifacts… After all, my master’s own Divine Artifacts were left to his direct disciples and others,” the black-robed elder said. “The other treasure is the Mirror of Laws.”
The Mirror of Laws? A hint of doubt flashed through Li Yuan’s eyes.
What was it?
“You can consider accepting him,” Gu You’s voice suddenly rang out in Li Yuan’s mind, even with a hint of excitement. “The Mirror of Laws, I knew it, a deceased God would definitely leave behind such an important object. I just didn’t expect that a named disciple would have a chance to obtain it.”
“Sis, what is the Mirror of Laws?” Li Yuan quickly asked.
“Do you remember when I told you about the three best ways to increase your understanding of the laws?” Gu You transmitted through their minds.
“I remember,” Li Yuan said. “First, increase your own compatibility, such as cultivating the ‘Celestial Wind Star Pulse True Scripture’ and other auxiliary strongest Star Techniques, or using Celestial Wind Spirits to transform your body, these are all permanent.”
“Second, obtain some auxiliary enlightenment treasures, such as the ‘Myriad Phenomena Star Chart’.”
“Third, Enlightenment Curios, such as the legendary Enlightenment Leaves.” Li Yuan quickly said.
“Right.”
“The Mirror of Laws is an Enlightenment Curio,” Gu You said. “The Mirror of Laws is incredibly rare, even in the Divine Realm, many God’s direct disciples may not be able to obtain it.”
Li Yuan was shocked.
God’s direct disciples may not be able to obtain it? Was it really that precious?
“Because it’s a product of a deceased God,” Gu You said. “God-level experts must comprehend a path and combine it with their understanding of spatial laws… Making their souls almost able to blend into the fundamental Dao of Heaven and Earth, making their souls incredibly special.”
“When they’re nearing their end.”
“If this God is willing, they can strip away their various insights into laws and condense them into two rare treasures: the Mirror of Laws and the River of Laws… The River of Laws is even more magical.”
“The Mirror of Laws, typically, a God’s soul can condense more than one. Once used, it illuminates the cultivator’s heart, pointing directly to the source of the laws… It’s definitely a great blessing,” Gu You said through their minds. “Father’s inheritance is definitely beyond your imagination, so, True Divine Artifacts… even True Divine Artifact-level treasures, you don’t need to care too much about them.”
“Anyway, True Divine Artifact-level treasures are something you can only use after you become a God. Once you become a God, you’ll probably become a True God in one breath, and getting True Divine Artifacts won’t be difficult.”
“But the Mirror of Laws is extremely rare, even in the Divine Realm, it’s a legendary Enlightenment Curio.” Gu You said seriously.
Li Yuan understood now.
He couldn’t help but think about the Void God Liquid, which was made with the souls of Void God-level experts as the raw material.
But the Mirror of Laws and the River of Laws were condensed from the laws of a God’s soul when they were dying… Behind them was a God’s life.
No wonder some God’s direct disciples couldn’t obtain it.
“A living God, unless you go and steal it, how else would you get it?” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Only a deceased God would have a chance to leave it behind.”
This type of Enlightenment Curio, this mysterious God, the number he left behind before his death certainly wasn’t just one, but it wouldn’t be a lot either.
“Go for it!”
“The God’s enemies? If I complete the Purple-Robe mission, I will leave the Awakening Star Continent.” Li Yuan thought to himself. “At that time, even if other Gods in the Awakening Star Continent want to kill me, they probably won’t be able to find me.”
Li Yuan had thought through the pros and cons.
He only had twelve years left. He had to seize every opportunity. Once he left the Abyssal Demon Blood Cave… He was an outsider, his identity was unknown, even if he had high talent, he might not be recognized by other God-level experts in the Awakening Star Continent.
Moreover, Li Yuan estimated that there weren’t many living Gods in the Awakening Star Continent.
In such a short amount of time, it was extremely difficult to get another greater opportunity.
This black-robed elder, just that ability to move objects, could easily kill him. There was no need to deceive him.
“Seize every opportunity, become a Purple-Robe member,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “From the clues left by the Principal and Eastern Alliance Leader, the opportunities in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain should be even greater than those of a God’s direct disciple.”
Thinking about it.
“Senior, I’m willing to become a God’s named disciple,” Li Yuan said.
“Haha, good, this is the wise choice.” The black-robed elder showed a smile. “Don’t worry, you’ll be happy with your choice today… Some things, due to special circumstances, I can’t tell you, but you’ll soon understand.”
“You’re called Xu Yuan, right?”
“Right.” Li Yuan nodded.
“Xu Yuan, follow me,” the black-robed elder turned around and was about to fly into another corridor in the hall.
“Senior, what about them?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but point to the bones on the ground.
“These people, although they barely passed the outer tests, still don’t meet the requirements,” the black-robed elder shook his head and sighed. “In the end, they can only die here, this is my master’s order, and I can’t disobey.”
“In fact, the ‘Abyssal Demon Blood Cave’ you experienced isn’t the actual outer test of the inheritance place.”
“Those fierce beasts, they were raised by another True God, specifically for killing, and they’re the surface layer that surrounds the inheritance place,” the black-robed elder said.
Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.
This was a point he had been confused about before. The Semi-God level fierce beasts and Blood Demons he encountered in the Abyssal Demon Blood Cave… The difficulty was much higher than the danger in the corridors.
“That involves other secrets.”
“You’ll know if you have the chance,” the black-robed elder shook his head. “When the inheritance place was being transformed, most of the treasures of the inheritance place were already taken away, and I didn’t pay much attention.”
“Unless the test-taker is powerful enough, like Heavenly Flight-level warriors who can display the strength of a Semi-God initial-level, who have the potential to become my master’s named disciple, I will move them in.”
“As for you!”
“I also wanted to see the limits of your strength, so I never made a move,” the black-robed elder showed a smile. “I just didn’t expect that you could even kill a Semi-God peak-level fierce beast, it completely exceeded my expectations.”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The black-robed elder and Li Yuan flew straight into the corridor.
