    ## Chapter 411: Divine Fire Palace! Star Awakening Divine Pill

    “Is it really the King?” Jiang Xuan was shocked.

    Her talent was good, and she had cultivated for only a few decades. Her understanding of the Laws was so high that she could become a demigod at any time. She even had a slight chance of becoming a True God in the future. Plus, her father was the Fog Mountain King… It could be said that she held a high position in the royal family.

    This was why Jiang Lei had been afraid of her back then.

    But even so, from birth to the present, she had never seen the ‘founding ancestor’ of their Divine Nation, only many images and portraits.

    Coupled with the terrifying aura emanating from Jiang Yuan True God, it made her guess.

    “Xu Brother.” Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but look at Li Yuan.

    She vaguely understood in her heart that she had fallen into a deadly trap, and she was able to survive, it was probably because of Li Yuan.

    “Jiang Xuan.” Li Yuan said in a low voice, “This is the Jiang Yuan True God of your Yuan Nation, the founding monarch.”

    “Jiang Xuan, pay respects to the ancestor.” Jiang Xuan quickly bowed respectfully.

    “Your name is Jiang Xuan, you are the daughter of that little fellow, Jiang Wu?” Jiang Yuan True God looked down at Jiang Xuan.

    “Yes.” Jiang Xuan said obediently.

    Jiang Wu was her father’s name.

    “Jiang Wu is very good, it’s a pity.” Jiang Yuan True God shook his head.

    He had many descendants, but over tens of thousands of years, not many had been able to become True Gods. Jiang Wu becoming a peak True God was already quite impressive, and he had been summoned by Jiang Yuan True God several times and had even been given guidance.

    Unfortunately, he perished not long ago.

    Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. She hadn’t seen her father many times, but he had always been someone she admired.

    “Your elder brother is Jiang Shan? He should have no difficulty reaching your father’s level in the future, and he also has the potential to reach the True God realm. Your talent is also acceptable.” Jiang Yuan True God said lightly, “Your lineage is indeed excellent.”

    “Thank you for the praise, Ancestor.” Jiang Xuan was overjoyed.

    Ancestor!

    What kind of existence was he? You know, the Star Awakening Continent is said to have three thousand Divine Nations, and they are also strong and weak. And without a doubt, the Yuan Nation is a first-rate nation, renowned for its prowess. All of this is because of Jiang Yuan True God.

    “I saved you from the Blood Cave, not because you are a member of the royal family of the Divine Nation.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “But because Xu Yuan asked for it. If you want to thank someone, thank him.”

    “Xu Brother?” Jiang Xuan’s heart trembled. Sure enough.

    She was also quite shocked in her heart: “What kind of person is Xu Brother? He can even be treated like this by the Ancestor. Could it be that he is a disciple of the legendary existence that surpasses True Gods?”

    She couldn’t figure out Li Yuan’s identity.

    “In the future, Xu Yuan will join my Yuan Nation and become a member of my Yuan Nation’s Divine Fire Palace.” Jiang Yuan True God continued, “Don’t reveal your relationship with him and me, understand?”

    “Yes, Jiang Xuan understands.” Jiang Xuan quickly replied.

    She was even more puzzled. With Li Yuan’s strength and status, why would he join a Divine Nation?

    But Jiang Xuan didn’t dare to ask more.

    “Alright, you can leave.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “When you reach the capital, the roster will be updated in the Divine Fire Palace. You can contact Xu Yuan again then.”

    Jiang Xuan nodded, then bowed to Li Yuan: “Xu Brother, we’ll see you in the capital then.”

    “Okay.” Li Yuan nodded.

    Whoosh!

    Jiang Xuan turned into a streak of light, quickly flying towards the city at the edge of the world.

    She didn’t ask about Xu Guo and the others’ whereabouts. From her own experience, she understood that those servants were likely dead.

    Ask Jiang Yuan True God? The Ancestor had already saved her, thanks to Xu Brother’s request.

    To ask further would be to show ignorance.

    Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God watched Jiang Xuan leave in the void.

    “Junior brother, my idea is to arrange for you to become a member of the Yuan Nation’s ‘Divine Fire Palace.’ I will create a fake file of your origin in Yuan Nation, detailing how you grew up in Yuan Nation. In this way, you will have an identity and documents, and any force can’t investigate you.” Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan, “What do you think?”

    “Then I’ll trouble Senior Brother.” Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.

    Solving the problem of identity would allow him to walk freely through various parts of the Star Awakening Continent.

    “Whew!”

    Jiang Yuan True God waved his hand again, and a crystal stone emitting light flew out: “You just arrived in the Star Awakening Continent, and you probably don’t understand much about the entire continent. This crystal stone contains some basic information about the Star Awakening Continent… I can’t tell you the most secret information.”

    “But it’s enough for you to gain some understanding of the Star Awakening Continent.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “Use it now.”

    Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand to receive it. With a movement of his mind, he poured his consciousness into the crystal stone. Soon, a large amount of information flooded his mind.

    Infinitely vast information.

    Fortunately!

    Li Yuan’s soul was no longer what it used to be. His speed in accepting information was far beyond the past. It took only a few minutes to receive all the information.

    “Three ancient starry sky cities.”

    “Six Holy Lands! Three thousand Divine Nations…” Li Yuan finally had a sufficient understanding of the Star Awakening Continent.

    Vast and boundless.

    The Heavenly Gods stood at the pinnacle, either secretly manipulating the continent or traveling to the even more vast and boundless Divine Domain.

    True Gods often commanded a large number of deities, igniting wars on the continent, conquering large territories, and establishing dominance.

    For hundreds of millions of years, there has been no respite.

    “Star Awakening Divine Pill!”

    “Ancestral Realm.”

    “Three ancient starry sky cities.” Li Yuan had already keenly grasped the core of the complex information. The grievances and entanglements of the entire Star Awakening Continent all revolved around these three things.

    “That’s right!”

    “As Teacher said, the most special thing about our world, compared to the Divine Domain, is the Star Awakening Divine Pill. This is the characteristic of the Star Awakening Continent, and it also makes the star veins of the strong in our world generally stronger.” Jiang Yuan True God commended, “The source of the Star Awakening Divine Pill… is the Ancestral Realm! How it came into being is a mystery, even Teacher doesn’t know. Perhaps only the ‘City Lords’ of the three ancient starry sky cities can know.”

    Li Yuan listened attentively.

    The information Jiang Yuan True God provided only mentioned that the Star Awakening Divine Pill was extraordinary. How did it come to be? It’s a mystery.

    “The three ancient starry sky cities.”

    “They are the rulers of the entire world. Their City Lords are Heavenly Gods from generation to generation. Once they use their inherited artifacts… their strength will soar to a terrifying level, far surpassing other Heavenly Gods, and it also establishes the status of the starry sky cities.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “The various Divine Nations want to rule peacefully, so they have to pay a large amount of treasures to the cities. They also send their elite members to be cultivated in the cities… The six Holy Lands are all inferior to the cities.”

    Li Yuan nodded slightly.

    The six Holy Lands were the forces in the Star Awakening Continent that were second only to the three ancient starry sky cities. They were all founded by Heavenly Gods… Of course, it’s a mystery whether these Holy Lands still have Heavenly Gods stationed there.

    On the Star Awakening Continent, Heavenly Gods rarely take action.

    “Like Teacher, he once fought with a Heavenly God from the ‘Evergreen Ancient City.’” Jiang Yuan True God said with a sigh, “In that battle, the City Lord of Evergreen Ancient City participated, using his inherited artifact… He fought against two with one, and Teacher finally lost and retreated.”

    Li Yuan suddenly realized.

    Star Awakening Ancient City, Evergreen Ancient City, Heavenly Serpent Ancient City… Among the three ancient starry sky cities, the first two are mainly dominated by the human race, while the last one is mainly dominated by the powerful figures of various divine beast races.

    “Of course.”

    “There’s no real feud between the two sides, they just fight for treasures. You don’t have to worry too much.” Jiang Yuan True God smiled, “Besides, if that Heavenly God wants to take action, I will be the first target.”

    “This is also why I didn’t expose our relationship as brothers.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “As long as you don’t reveal it, no one will know.”

    “Yes.” Li Yuan nodded.

    If the sky falls, Jiang Yuan True God will be there to hold it up. He was not afraid.

    “There’s a key reason why I let you become a member of Yuan Nation.”

    “That’s because my Yuan Nation is one of the core Divine Nations of the Star Awakening Ancient City. We have the right to recommend members to enter the ‘Heavenly Flight Hall’ and the ‘Demigod Hall’ of the Star Awakening Ancient City.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “There are only three months left before the next round of recruitment for the Star Awakening Ancient City. I will give you a place… With your strength, passing the final assessment of the Star Awakening Ancient City shouldn’t be difficult.”

    “Once you pass, you will become a probationary member of the Star Awakening Ancient City.”

    “At that time, you don’t have to ask me for many things. You can handle them yourself.” Jiang Yuan True God smiled, “Among the three ancient starry sky cities, the Star Awakening Ancient City is the first. There are many rare resources inside, specially prepared for Heavenly Flights and Demigods… It’s probably hard to find them even in the Divine Domain. How much you can get depends on your own ability.”

    “Thank you, Senior Brother.” Li Yuan expressed his sincere gratitude.

    It’s good to have connections in the court.

    With Jiang Yuan True God’s help, he would indeed save himself a lot of trouble.

    “The greatest opportunity in our world is the Ancestral Realm Order.”

    “I didn’t have the right timing back then, so I couldn’t get it.”

    “There are only twelve years left until the next Ancestral Realm War.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “You are talented, but you have a short cultivation time. It’s hard to say if you can get it… Anyway, junior brother, I will do my best to help you.”

    “Whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself.” Jiang Yuan True God shook his head, “The Ancestral Realm War relies on your own strength.”

    “Senior Brother has already helped me enough.” Li Yuan laughed.

    Li Yuan vaguely understood.

    Jiang Yuan True God’s arrangement was not without the intention of testing him… Even if he displayed great talent, it was not so easy to become a Heavenly God.

    “Let’s go.”

    “Go to the capital of Yuan Nation.” Jiang Yuan True God waved his hand, and a battleship appeared in the void.

    True artifact, Li Yuan immediately sensed it.

    Buzz~ The hatch opened.

    Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan followed Jiang Yuan True God, immediately flying into the battleship. Immediately afterward, the battleship started, and it turned into a silver light, its speed reaching an incredible level.

    “Li Yuan, the speed of this battleship has surpassed a thousand kilometers per second.” Gu You’s voice sounded.

    Li Yuan was secretly shocked.

    Fly a thousand kilometers per second? This speed was too exaggerated, befitting a True God at the peak of his power.

    Moreover, the current speed of the battleship may not be its limit.

    Inside the battleship’s cabin.

    Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan True God sat cross-legged in silence.

    “Unexpectedly.”

    “Among the three ancient starry sky cities, one is the Heavenly Serpent Ancient City. According to the information Jiang Yuan Senior Brother gave me, it seems to be controlled by the Heavenly Serpent race.” Li Yuan secretly thought, “Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Serpent race still has a lineage in this world… It’s really a cause for reflection.”

    Unconsciously, Li Yuan thought of a possibility.

    “Xiao Bing, could she have been sent to the area where the Heavenly Serpent Ancient City is located?” Li Yuan had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

    At present.

    Perhaps because they were too far apart, Li Yuan couldn’t sense Liu Bing’s soul aura for the time being.

    After flying for several hours, crossing tens of millions of kilometers of land, the battleship finally reached the capital of Yuan Nation.

    The battleship directly passed through the barrier and entered the capital. Its speed gradually decreased.

    “Junior brother.”

    “This is my token. If you encounter something, you can use it to send a message to me.” Jiang Yuan True God smiled, “If you encounter life-threatening danger, you can crush the token… I will immediately know.”

    “However, I hope you don’t crush the token if possible.”

    “Thank you, Senior Brother.” Li Yuan nodded. If he crushed the token, it meant he couldn’t withstand the danger, and in a sense, he would have failed the test… The other party would likely be disappointed.

    After putting away the token.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    Li Yuan followed Jiang Yuan True God and flew out of the battleship. From here, they could overlook the entire capital of Yuan Nation.

    “Such a large city.” Li Yuan secretly marveled.

    As far as the eye could see, the entire capital occupied an area of at least ten thousand kilometers in diameter. Even with his eyesight, he couldn’t see the edge of the city.

    Truly vast!

    Perhaps there were no technological artifacts on the Star Awakening Continent, but in terms of prosperity, any city in the Seven Star Civilization could not compare to the capital of Yuan Nation.

    “Brother, don’t be too surprised.”

    “Strong cultivators usually have a high speed for their own sense of security, and their residences often cover a large area.” Gu You transmitted, “The capital of Yuan Nation probably has more than one True God, and there are even more Demigods and True Gods… In the Divine Domain, many True God cultivators occupy a planet as their lair.”

    Li Yuan understood.

    True Gods were rare in the Mortal Domain. His understanding indeed needed to be adjusted.

    Whoosh!

    A purple-robed elder flew from afar.

    “King.” The purple-robed elder bowed respectfully.

    “Xu Yuan, this is the Palace Master of Divine Fire Palace, ‘Shaxi True God.’” Jiang Yuan True God said.

    “Greetings, Shaxi Senior.” Li Yuan bowed respectfully.

    “Hello.” Shaxi True God smiled and nodded. He couldn’t figure out Li Yuan’s identity yet, so he didn’t dare to address him casually.

    “Shaxi.” Jiang Yuan True God continued, “Xu Yuan is someone a friend of mine entrusted to me. Let him join the Divine Fire Palace, and give him a place in the Heavenly Flight Realm three months later when we go to the Star Awakening Ancient City.”

    “A place to go to the Ancient City?” Shaxi True God’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise, “King, these places have already been chosen.”

    Jiang Yuan True God frowned, “I said, give Xu Yuan a place.”

    “Yes, I’ll do it immediately.” Shaxi True God quickly replied.

    “Also, don’t reveal my relationship with Xu Yuan. Don’t tell anyone who asks.” Jiang Yuan True God said, “Treat Xu Yuan the same as other normal Heavenly Flight members, don’t pay any special attention to him.”

    “I understand.” Shaxi True God replied. He realized that the King valued the young man in front of him.

    “Xu Yuan, you should follow Shaxi True God.” Jiang Yuan True God instructed.

    Then.

    Whoosh!

    Jiang Yuan True God took a step and disappeared into the heavy clouds. A majestic palace was vaguely visible at the end of the clouds.

    That was the royal palace of Yuan Nation, and it was also Jiang Yuan True God’s residence. Ordinary True Gods were not qualified to approach it.

    “Xu Yuan, follow me.” Shaxi True God smiled faintly. He realized that the young man in front of him was probably not ordinary.

    The King was such a powerful existence.

    He was a being second only to Heavenly Gods on the entire continent… A friend’s request? What kind of friend could make the King value him so much?

    However, with Jiang Yuan True God’s instructions, he didn’t dare to ask more.

    Whoosh! Whoosh!

    The two of them flew through the void and clouds.

    “Xu Yuan, ordinary Demigods cannot fly through the clouds in the capital, they can only fly along the streets.” Shaxi True God said, “Only deities or members of our Yuan Nation’s core can fly through various forbidden areas.”

    “Divine Fire Palace members are all part of the core.”

    “My Yuan Nation has two forces, one is the royal family, and the other is the Myriad God Palace and Divine Fire Palace.” Shaxi True God explained.

    Li Yuan listened.

    He already knew this. The royal family was the foundation of Yuan Nation, all descendants of Jiang Yuan True God’s bloodline. But the number of deities was actually not many, there were only a dozen or so True Gods.

    The Myriad God Palace, on the other hand, was made up of guest deities who joined Yuan Nation. There were several True Gods among them, and even thousands of True Gods… This showed Jiang Yuan True God’s terrifying strength.

    Ordinary True Gods would not have so many True Gods following them.

    This didn’t include the forces Jiang Yuan True God could mobilize in the Star Awakening Ancient City.

    Divine Fire Palace was the place where Yuan Nation cultivated Heavenly Flight and Demigod geniuses… The meaning was that all those who joined the Divine Fire Palace should aim to ignite their Divine Fire.

    Soon.

    The two arrived at a palace that occupied a vast area. There were two Demigods guarding the entrance, leading a large group of Heavenly Flights.

    “Palace Master.” All the guards bowed.

    “This is Xu Yuan, the new member of my Divine Fire Palace.” Shaxi True God pointed at Li Yuan, and said lightly, “He will be directly ranked tenth on the Heavenly Flight List. Is that clear?”

    “Directly ranked tenth on the Heavenly Flight List?” All the guards were secretly surprised.

    “Greetings, Xu Yuan Master.” These guards all bowed, including the two Demigod leaders.

    Li Yuan nodded in response.

    After entering the Divine Fire Palace, Shaxi True God introduced Li Yuan to everything. There were many places for cultivation assistance and lectures… It was clear that as Yuan Nation’s place for cultivating geniuses, the Divine Fire Palace had an excellent environment.

    “Xu Yuan.”

    “From now on, until you go to the Star Awakening Ancient City, you will live in this palace manor.” Shaxi True God said, “If you have anything, you can come to find me.”

    “Also, every Divine Fire Palace member, when they are ranked among the top ten of the Heavenly Flight List and the Demigod List for the first time, will receive a gift.”

    “Your gift, I will arrange for someone to deliver it later.” Shaxi True God said.

    “Thank you, Senior.” Li Yuan replied, and then turned into a streak of light and flew into the luxurious manor.

    There were many servants in the manor, including two Heavenly Flights, and the rest were Source Warriors.

    “Greetings, Master.” These servants all bowed. They had already received a message.

    “Everything in the manor remains as usual. You don’t need to bother me.” Li Yuan said, “Don’t come and disturb me unless there is something important.”

    “Yes.” The servants bowed.

    These servants were arranged by the Divine Fire Palace, and Li Yuan could order them, scold them, or even kill them.

    Of course, if he killed a servant arranged by the Divine Fire Palace, he would have to pay a fine in the form of Divine Crystals.

    “I’m just a temporary guest in this Divine Fire Palace, no need to pay any attention to me.” Li Yuan secretly thought, and flew into the ‘quiet room’ deep inside the manor.

    Quickly.

    Li Yuan preliminarily refined the manor’s core in the quiet room and directly activated the ‘Source Power Protection Array’ of the entire manor.

    Li Yuan had already noticed.

    The technological artifacts on the Star Awakening Continent were mediocre, but their use of Source Power Secret Patterns far surpassed the Seven Star Civilization. In the capital of Yuan Nation, Source Power arrays could be sensed almost everywhere.

    “This quiet room was indeed made with care.” Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform in the quiet room, feeling his heart quickly calm down.

    The quiet room door slowly closed.

    “Continue cultivating.” Li Yuan closed his eyes and continued to ponder the fourth move of the ‘Realm Cloud Spear’ that he had just comprehended.

    … Outside Li Yuan’s manor.

    “I just ordered those guards to pay respects.”

    Shaxi True God secretly thought, “Later, when the Illusory True Marquis receives the news, I will not have reminded her.”

    He was the Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, he wouldn’t do anything unnecessary.

    “Her only son had his place taken. This matter can’t be easily explained.” Shaxi True God felt a little helpless.

    The Star Awakening Ancient City recruited probationary members only once every twenty years.

    And the Yuan Nation only had a total of twenty places, ten for Heavenly Flights and ten for Demigods.

    Therefore, the opportunity was rare. Many big shots in Yuan Nation would be eyeing the places.

    On the surface, these twenty places were determined by strength alone.

    But background and relationships were also important behind the scenes.

    The Illusory True Marquis had spent a lot of resources to ensure her son got a place.

    “If the King had directly given an order, it would have been fine, the Illusory True Marquis wouldn’t be able to say anything.” Shaxi True God secretly thought, “But the King doesn’t allow me to spread the news.”

    “And the King directly ordered him to be added to the list, without any competition… Probably, this Xu Yuan’s strength is mediocre.” Shaxi True God guessed, “I hope he can withstand it.”

    “If he can’t withstand it, it’s not my fault. After all, the King ordered me not to interfere.” Shaxi True God shook his head, took a step, and disappeared into the square outside the manor.

    Little did Shaxi True God know that Jiang Yuan True God believed that Li Yuan’s strength was strong enough, and there was no need to go through any more procedures.

    Less than two hours after retreating to his manor to cultivate, Li Yuan received a message from his servants.

    The gift for being ranked among the top ten of the Heavenly Flight List had arrived.

    “One hundred blocks of Divine Crystals.”

    “Ten Star Awakening Divine Pills?” Li Yuan looked at the gift delivered by three Demigods, and his heart filled with joy.

    One hundred blocks of Divine Crystals weren’t important. He had just obtained twenty thousand blocks of Divine Crystals from the Yuan Demon Blood Cave.

    But Star Awakening Divine Pills, he had been given ten at once?

    “That’s right.”

    “The top ten of the Divine Fire Palace’s Heavenly Flight List basically represent the top geniuses among the Heavenly Flights in the Yuan Nation. It’s normal to receive ten Star Awakening Divine Pills.” Li Yuan secretly thought, “Let’s try these Star Awakening Divine Pills and see what’s so special about them.”

    He put the gift into his storage treasure.

    Li Yuan returned to the quiet room, activated the Source Power array, and quickly calmed his mind.

    “Star Awakening Divine Pill.” Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a pill appeared in his palm, its entire body glowing with purple veins and emitting a strange fragrance.
