Chapter 1658: Chapter 724: Supreme’s Invitation? Disciple? (Part 3)

“Understood.” Li Yuan’s heart stirred.

“He is also a Perfect Ten-Star Meridian. Though he wasn’t as dazzling as you in the past, he was still formidable for a time,” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint remarked. “He opened multiple Top Eternal Daos early on, entering the Emperor Realm after only a few hundred thousand years, yet it’s been over a billion years.”

“And he still remains at the Dominator Level.”

Li Yuan listened intently.

Strength varies, and so does perspective. In a Cosmic Realm, the Ten-Star Meridian is extremely rare, with only one emerging every millions of years.

However, over the long ages, there have accumulated quite a few Ten-Star Meridians, like in the Chaos Mansion, where there are many Ten Stars Vein God Kings, such as Brother Long Ya.

Looking across a Dark Domain, the number of Ten-Star Meridians is even greater.

The Perfect Ten-Star Meridian is a legend in any Dark Domain, often not appearing for tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years. Many solitary Emperors without much worldly experience might not even be aware of the concept of the Perfect Ten-Star Meridian if they haven’t ventured into the Eternal Relics or interacted much with other Emperors.

However!

The cosmos comprises a full 81 Dark Domains, so vast… Besides myself, there is still one living Perfect Ten-Star Meridian known among the top major forces’ public information.

That would be Mountain Lord, who is considered extremely powerful among Dominators.

Perhaps!

There are still unknown Perfect Ten-Star Vein Foundation holders in the universe… but for now, publicly, it’s just myself and Mountain Lord.

In other cultivation systems, there are several individuals close to this foundational level, but none of them have become Supremes.

“The strongest foundation.”

“Requires the best guidance to hope for achieving Supreme.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint smiled, “Looking out across the universe, the consensus is that the five great Supremes are the strongest.”

“The Supremes also possess the best treasures, legacies, many special cultivation resources, and auxiliary cultivation methods in the entire cosmos, probably beyond what you could imagine.”

Yan Xu Quasi-Saint looked at Li Yuan, then glanced at Purple Fire God King, “In terms of talent, I probably don’t match Brother Purple Fire… But with my master’s guidance, I spent less time becoming a Seventh Rank Quasi-Saint.”

“Heart Origin.”

“Your talent far exceeds mine and Purple Fire’s.”

“In the past, you achieved such accomplishments without any Supreme guidance.”

“If you could receive the guidance of a Supreme, you’d surely soar to great heights.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint watched Li Yuan, observing his reaction.

His presence this time.

Was on orders from his master.

In his heart, he was reluctant for Li Yuan to receive guidance from Han Xing Supreme… After all, many precious resources are unique.

If it were a fair competition, he had no confidence in besting Li Yuan.

But he dared not defy his master’s orders.

“Supreme guidance?”

“Could it be, Han Xing Supreme wants to invite Heart Source Quasi-Saint?” Among the present Emperors, they looked at each other, not feeling too surprised.

Many so-called peerless talents, even those like Purple Fire God King, depend on the Supreme’s mood as to whether they take them in as disciples.

After all, becoming a Dominator is challenging enough, let alone reaching the Supreme Level.

But the talent Li Yuan displayed.

Is worthy of any Supreme’s attention… He is truly worth cultivating with full effort.

“I wouldn’t dare to covet Supreme guidance.” Li Yuan remained modest yet firm.

“Haha, at this point.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint laughed, “Brother Heart Source, you have such an opportunity.”

“This time, on my master’s orders, I specifically came to ask you.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint focused on Li Yuan, “Would you be willing to become my master’s disciple?”

Shua! Shua! Shua!

His words instantly made the many Emperor Peaks present glance sideways.

Becoming a disciple? Accepting a student? This was something they hadn’t thought of… After all, Li Yuan is not a powerhouse of the Third Dark Domain.

Across different Dark Domains, the likelihood of accepting a disciple is very small.

Moreover!

This is a Supreme taking in a disciple!

“Heart Source Quasi-Saint,” Cold Nether God Emperor added, “A Supreme is almost the culmination of cultivation. Besides the eternal path, hardly anything can attract them, even within our Universe Alliance. Most Emperor Peaks rarely receive much guidance from the Supremes.”

“Ten-Star Vein Foundation holders also need to undergo various trials to hope to become Supreme Disciples.”

“You being an outsider, the Supreme’s willingness to take you as a disciple is quite extraordinary,” Cold Nether God Emperor continued, “If you join the Supreme Sect, all the secret techniques and methods of our Heavenly Cold Universe Alliance will be at your disposal for cultivation, and the Supreme will bestow some extraordinary opportunities.”

“Like a Top Grade Emperor Weapon.”

“Opportunities comparable to the Demon Cliff Stele legacy… In short, if you can join the Supreme Sect, your future of becoming a Dominator and even a Supreme will be tenfold.”

“Hehe.”

“Cold Nether God Emperor, joining the Supreme Sect indeed has many benefits, but there will also be many constraints,” Chaos God Emperor remarked calmly.

“Constraints, naturally, exist,” Cold Nether God Emperor replied, “Joining the Supreme Sect means following the Supreme’s orders, and essentially becoming a member of the Han Xing Star Alliance, waging its wars.”

“However.”

“It’s all worth it.”

“With Han Xing Supreme present, the entire Chaos Mansion will be under protection.”

“In the future, if Heart Source Quasi-Saint becomes a Supreme, these constraints will be nearly nonexistent, and there will only be a mentor-disciple relationship with Han Xing Supreme.” Cold Nether God Emperor smiled, “It will also be a great tale in the cosmos.”

Li Yuan felt very calm in his heart.

To battle for the Han Xing Universe Alliance?

“Brother Heart Source, are you willing?” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint said, “If you are willing, you can send a true body to pay respects to the master with me soon.”

Immediately.

All present at the Emperor’s Realm, including Cloud Moon Divine Emperor, also looked at Li Yuan.

“Brother Yan Xu, Cold Nether God Emperor, please convey my gratitude to the Supreme for their kindness.” Li Yuan said calmly, “However, I prefer a free and unrestrained life, and I do not like being too constrained, sorry.”

“Rejected?”

“Does Heart Source not want to become a disciple?”

“That’s understandable.” Although slightly surprised by Li Yuan’s choice, the many at the Emperor’s Realm present were not too astonished.

After all, Li Yuan was no longer weak and young.

Not only is he extraordinarily gifted, but he is also a Seventh Rank Quasi-Saint, with strength comparable to the Emperor’s Realm… not to mention, he is backed by Heart Dream God Emperor and Chaos God Emperor.

Even on his own, he already has the confidence to be independent.

Although being a Supreme disciple is prestigious, it also comes with restraints.

“Rejected?” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint frowned on the surface but felt relieved inside, as this was something he never expected.

“Heart Source Quasi-Saint.”

“Are you sure you want to refuse? The Supreme also appreciates talent.” Cold Nether God Emperor said deeply, “Don’t lose this great opportunity.”

“I’m sorry to disappoint the Supreme,” Li Yuan said calmly.

In fact, if it weren’t for the Heart Dream God Emperor’s reminder and other reasons, joining a Supreme’s sect would not necessarily be a bad thing.

Unfortunately, having grown to this point, Li Yuan no longer needs the support of a Supreme.

“Very well.”

“This is your choice, and the Supreme will not blame you.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint’s expression returned to normal, “But the master has another order, if you do not wish to become a disciple… the master invites you to join our Han Xing Supreme Star City faction in the upcoming Abyssal Sea Sacrifice.”

“Our Han Xing Supreme Star City will grant you a spot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice, how about it?”

A spot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?

Cloud Moon Divine Emperor’s expression changed slightly, with a hint of helplessness. Previously, he had rejected the Chaos God Emperor’s request… little did he expect, in the blink of an eye, a Supreme would voluntarily offer Li Yuan a spot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice.

For most Star Cities, the spots for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice below the Emperor’s Realm are extremely precious.

But in the Supreme Star City… there are plenty of spots.

“Thank you for valuing me, Supreme,” Li Yuan bowed slightly, “However, it is still early before the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice begins. My cultivation years are also short, and I have no intention of entering the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice for now… please offer this spot to another Quasi-Saint.”

“What?”

Now, everyone, including Purple Fire God King and Qian Feng Quasi-Saint, along with others like Red Lotus Divine Emperor and Cloud Moon Divine Emperor, showed signs of shock.

Even refusing the spot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?

They couldn’t guess what Li Yuan was thinking.

“Heart Source Quasi-Saint.”

“Not willing to become a Supreme disciple is one thing,” Cold Nether God Emperor’s face finally changed, staring at Li Yuan, “But even declining the spot for the Sacrifice? You don’t want any entanglement with Han Xing Supreme Star City… do you look down on our Han Xing Universe Alliance?”

He did not believe Li Yuan’s reason at all.

Looking across the cosmos, which Quasi-Saint doesn’t want a spot for the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice?

Furthermore, as far as he knew, Li Yuan didn’t even have a spot initially.

“Brother Heart Source.”

“The master’s goodwill, if you refuse time and again, it’s unwise.” Yan Xu Quasi-Saint said deeply, “I urge you to reconsider.”

“I apologize,” Li Yuan shook his head once more.

Most people present turned pale.

A dignified Supreme, unable to take a disciple, can’t even give a gift away? This showed that Li Yuan didn’t regard Han Xing Supreme highly at all.

Cold Nether God Emperor and Yan Xu Quasi-Saint’s faces grew darker.

They represented Han Xing Star City, the face of Supreme Star City… in their eyes, Li Yuan’s repeated refusals were clearly a disregard for Supreme Star City.

“Fine!”

“Very well.” Cold Nether God Emperor glared at Li Yuan, “Heart Source Quasi-Saint, I hope you truly mean what you said, that you genuinely don’t wish to enter the Abyssal Sea Sacrifice.”

“And are not intentionally avoiding the Supreme’s goodwill.”
