Capítulo 1545: Chapter 685: Senior Brother’s Decision! First God King

“A natural trade.” The green-robed phantom spoke indifferently: “I’ve given you the list. Among my subordinates who are Eighth Rank Cultivators, aside from those Immortal Kings with rank ten Immortal Foundation, the rest can all be traded… but no more than one-tenth may be traded, and you’ll need to give me some time to prepare.”

“After all, you must understand, I am ultimately a member of the Immortal Court, and I am not ready for the ‘Immortal Emperor’ to find out that I have stepped onto the Abyss Road.” The green-robed phantom said.

“Haha!”

“Yu Mountain… you are at the Emperor Realm, and a Lord of the Universe, you should act decisively. What about the Abyss Road? As long as we can strengthen ourselves, what difference does the path of cultivation make for us?” The voice from the Ancient Divine Hall sneered: “Immortal Emperor? He is but a Dominator. What if he knows?”

“Dark Witch Dominator, this is my affair.” Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor stated calmly.

“Very well.”

“I will soon inform you of those selected… as long as these people achieve something at the Abyss Gate, I will present you with Abyssal Spirit Blood.” The Dark Witch Dominator’s voice was low.

Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor nodded and then turned to leave.

His incarnation flew out of the vast Abyss Continent… The seemingly endless abyssal creatures continued to roar and howl.

“The Abyss Demon Cave!”

“I sensed more than ten Emperor-Level ‘Abyssal Lives’… and the most powerful Abyss Dominator.” Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor glanced back at the land that seemed engulfed by infinite darkness: “No wonder, the Abyss Dominator is nearly invincible within the Abyss Demon Cave, only a Supreme can vanquish them.”

But how many Supremes are there in the vast universe?

Moreover, not every Supreme is like Beihai Supreme, seeing every abyssal strongman as an enemy… many Supremes don’t care.

“Immortal Emperor?” Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor recalled the Dark Witch Dominator’s words.

What if he knows?

“Is such a road that easy?” Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor sighed inwardly, if he could do it over again, he would never choose to become a Lord of the Universe.

Becoming a Lord of the Universe made him stronger.

But it also made it hard for him to free himself from the Immortal Emperor… the Immortal Spirit Cultivation System has a very fatal flaw.

“The road is set, the Dao is hard to change.”

“Perhaps, the Abyss Road will offer me a glimmer of hope.” A trace of coldness flashed in Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor’s eyes, he also knew that trading with the Dark Witch Dominator was akin to negotiating with a tiger.

But he knew the truth and was unwilling to merely become a pawn for the Immortal Emperor.

…

Of the behind-the-scenes dealings and schemes between Yu Mountain Saint Ancestor and Dark Witch Dominator, Li Yuan naturally knew nothing, as he had already returned with Liu Bing to the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters.

“Little Bing.”

“The Divine Kings in the Divine Realm all know the treasure is with me, so they shouldn’t come looking for you over it anymore.” Li Yuan smiled: “From now on, you can freely go wherever you want to adventure… if you encounter danger, just crush the token I gave you.”

“Within the Divine Realm, I can arrive swiftly.” Li Yuan said.

“Alright.” Liu Bing nodded repeatedly.

For over a thousand years, she had been forced to stay at the Divine Court Headquarters, though safe… yet against the span of her life, it had indeed been somewhat dull and comfortable.

“However, big brother, I plan to venture into some Dark Zones at the edge of the Cosmic Realm.” Liu Bing said solemnly.

“The edge of the Cosmic Realm?” Li Yuan felt a little surprised.

Within the Cosmic Realm, among the Dark Zones between the great Star Domains, if Liu Bing ventured to adventure, should she encounter danger, Li Yuan could swiftly arrive… at least his consciousness could descend in an instant through causality!

But in places like the edge of the Cosmic Realm, or even beyond it in some perilous areas… it might be too late to save Liu Bing in a crucial moment.

“It’s dangerous there.” Li Yuan looked at Liu Bing.

“I know.” Liu Bing’s eyes held a hint of determination: “But big brother… if I continue in such comfort, never mind becoming a God King, I’m afraid even becoming a Divine Monarch will take a long time.”

“Big brother, my cultivation path has reached a bottleneck.” Liu Bing said lowly.

Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Indeed!

As a top-notch Divine Beast with Nine-Star Meridian, Liu Bing’s talent was actually quite good, but still, she was merely ordinary compared to regular Heavenly Divine beings… yet compared to true prodigious talents, let alone comparing to Li Yuan, even compared to Li Shu, her Comprehension was much weaker… to solely retreat into concealed cultivation would make it extremely hard to become a God King.

Cultivation requires external help, but more so the transformation within oneself.

Li Yuan had also broken through by venturing life and death repeatedly, thus he naturally understood Liu Bing’s choice was correct… but he also felt some concern.

“Alright!”

“Since you’ve decided, then go ahead and do it.” Li Yuan smiled: “In the end, it’s your life, and you must take charge of it yourself.”

Li Yuan also came to understand.

In his conception, even if Liu Bing couldn’t become a God King, she could eventually become a Life Puppet, gaining longevity… but is that what Liu Bing wants?

As a powerful Heavenly Divine, what she yearns for must be to live forever relying on her own strength!

…

After sending off Liu Bing, Li Yuan returned to Juexing Palace.

He sat cross-legged, his mind surveying the myriad heavens, almost nothing within the Chaos Divine Court’s territory could escape him.

“Xin Yu, this little one, really seems to thrive on the Source Fire Star.” Li Yuan showed a slight smile.

Xin Yu, destined to be the first Clan Leader of the ‘Xin Yu Divine Clan’, naturally received Li Yuan’s full cultivation, and she unknowingly borrowed a trace of Li Yuan’s destiny, combined with her diligent cultivation… she had now grown into a very strong Nine Star Veins Semi-Divine.

“Uncle and Aunt, leisurely wandering the Ziwei Star Region, quite at ease…”

“Dongfang Ji, seems to be caught up in some trouble… but should not be life-threatening.” Li Yuan, in one thought, oversaw the current states of many close relatives and friends.

Then he continued to remain silent in cultivation, waiting for the other six True Bodies to make a move.

But it took less than a day.

“Hoo~”

A vast figure emitting a majestic life force descended.

“Senior Brother.” Li Yuan opened his eyes and stood up, stepping forward to greet, “Is there anything? You could have just sent me a message, why bother coming in person?”

“Hahaha.”

“My junior brother has demonstrated great might, single-handedly slaying seven God Kings; such a joyous occasion, I naturally had to come in person to offer my congratulations.” The Dong Mang God King said with a hearty laugh.

“You flatter me, Senior Brother.” Li Yuan felt a bit embarrassed.

“What flattery… this is a battle record.” The Dong Mang God King laughed, “We gathered in the Divine King Hall, discussing, and all agreed that you are already the contemporary First God King of the Divine Realm… I presume that soon, once the news of this battle spreads, the ‘God King List’ of the Starry Sky Divine Court will be updated, and you’ll be ranked first.”

“It’s a pity, our discussion was so heated, and you didn’t even come to take a look.” The Dong Mang God King shook his head.

Li Yuan smiled.

In this great battle, aside from the Heart Realm God King, he indeed hadn’t contacted the other God Kings of the Chaos Divine Court.

“Ranking by strength is not reliable.” Li Yuan slightly shook his head, “In terms of true strength, without the Emperor Weapon, I should still be inferior to the Blood Flame God King and the Residual Sword God King.”

Li Yuan had a very clear understanding of himself.

Creating the Myriad Spirit Dao has indeed made his strength stronger, but the key lies in having six Real Bodies… the strength increase from a single Real Body is not significant.

Being unafraid of Perfect God King and having the actual combat power of a Perfect God King are still somewhat different.

“Regardless of how the Emperor Weapon was acquired, it’s part of your strength.” The Dong Mang God King’s eyes flashed with a hint of curiosity, “I am curious, have you not yet crossed into the God King Realm?”

Li Yuan was stunned and then nodded.

“Indeed incredible, a Heavenly Divine, bursting with Perfect God King strength… Tsk tsk!” The Dong Mang God King exclaimed, “Unfortunately, such a great secret must not be leaked, or it might shake the entire cosmos.”

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Historically, there have been instances of ‘Perfect Ten-Star Meridian,’ but most should not have been as strong as him during the Heavenly God Realm.

“Still not breaking through to the God King Realm?” The Dong Mang God King asked in confusion, “You’ve been in the Heavenly God Realm for quite a while. Logically, the Inner Heaven and Earth should have fully matured.”

“It still needs some time.” Li Yuan spoke vaguely.

For ordinary Heavenly Gods, opening up the Inner Heaven and Earth can be completed in hundreds or at most a thousand years… but the growth of the Inner Universe is far longer.

However, the consecutive creation of two Eternal Dao has greatly shortened this time.

“Alright, I won’t press further.” The Dong Mang God King changed the subject, “I actually came today to tell you, my true body plans to travel to Jue Xing Space-Time in a year.”

“So soon?” Li Yuan was surprised.

“Originally, I wanted to wait, but with this battle, the strength you’ve shown is enough to suppress an era of the Divine Realm, and my continued stay holds little meaning.” The Dong Mang God King smiled, “My other two true bodies, one has been at Nine Star Realm, and the other is preparing to head to Immortal Heaven and Earth.”

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

A God King, once choosing to sleep in the Inner Universe Space-Time of a Divine Emperor, other true bodies won’t easily appear in the current cosmos… after all, once appearing, it equates to consuming lifespan.

Therefore, all major True Bodies will venture into Eternal Relics.

Among numerous Eternal Relics, although it’s difficult to attain Enlightenment… many exotic treasures exist, and occasionally there are special cultivation opportunities.

Thus, many Eighth Rank and Ninth Rank cultivators have gathered throughout the generations.

“Senior Brother, can you wait a few more years?” Li Yuan smiled, “I plan, ten years later, to send my true body to Immortal Heaven and Earth as well.”

According to Li Yuan’s estimate, within ten years, the six major Real Bodies nurtured within the Inner Universe would emerge.

The first creation of Real Body by opening the Myriad Spirit Dao would be relatively easier.

“Ten years?”

“Sure, I’ll send a true body to Nine Star Realm first, and another to remain asleep in Jue Xing Space-Time for some years, then go together.” The Dong Mang God King agreed, as he was more than willing to join Li Yuan.

…

The Dong Mang God King departed.

Just as he predicted, the battle in the Dark Dragon Star Domain quickly spread, astonishing all sides… on one hand, the Chaos Divine Court God Kings wouldn’t conceal anything.

On the other hand, such intense conflict significantly influenced the Star Domain’s origin, allowing contemporary God Kings as Star Domain Masters to easily detect it.

“A battle that killed seven God Kings?”

“The Abyss Divine Court… truly miserable!”

“It’s the Emperor Weapon! The Heart Origin God King actually possesses an Emperor Weapon, no wonder he can unleash such defiance of heaven’s strength… without the Emperor Weapon, his power would greatly diminish.”

“What a joke.”

“If you have such talent, surely a Divine Emperor would grant you an Emperor Weapon.”

“Regardless of the reason, his ability to easily annihilate the Demon Sea God King, the Heart Origin God King’s strength is undoubtedly the contemporary First God King of the Divine Realm.”
