Chapter 865: Chapter 442: Impact! Dongfang Ji’s Comment (Extra Chapter for Monthly Pass Votes)_3

“However, he is ultimately a life from the Divine Realm.” The hazy will said, “You’ve invested so much in him… I hope he does not let you down in the future.”

“I trust my own judgment.” Jiang Yuan True God declared solemnly.

…

After returning to his own palace residence, Li Yuan did not rush to continue his cultivation, but went straight to the Ancient Divine Palace.

Inside the Divine Crystal Chamber.

Whoosh!

A dark red crystal stone appeared in front of Li Yuan, floating in suspension.

“I wonder what message the Dongfang Alliance Leader has left for me in this token.” Li Yuan mused to himself.

This dark red crystal stone was given to Li Yuan by Dongfang Ji after the battle of Feixing concluded before he departed.

At that time, Dongfang Ji explicitly stated that Li Yuan must be a Semi-Divine before he could open it.

Previously busy with cultivation, now that the ranking battle had concluded, Li Yuan finally had the time.

“Hum~”

With just a thought from Li Yuan, Origin Power penetrated the dark red crystal stone, unraveling the numerous marks within.

The last imprint, a ‘password’, was broken by Li Yuan using Divine Sense combined with Origin Power.

“Truly ingenious.” Li Yuan secretly marveled, “No wonder the Alliance Leader had said not to try to open it before becoming Semi-Divine, as forcing it might lead to its self-destruction.”

Upon unlocking the final mark.

Swish~

The dark red crystal stone instantaneously transformed into countless red streams of light that quickly converged to form a red Phantom.

It was surprisingly the likeness of Dongfang Ji.

“Alliance Leader.” Li Yuan couldn’t help but speak out.

“Li Yuan, congratulations.” Dongfang Ji said with a smile: “You being able to open this mark proves you have broken through to a Semi-Divine. It is unknown how much time has passed or whether you have awakened the Flying Heaven Nine Star Pulse… Regardless, with your talent, as long as you brave the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains, you should have become a ‘Chaos Divine Court Silver Garment Member’.”

“Many things, I can now speak to you frankly about.”

Li Yuan’s heart was suddenly stirred.

Silver Garment Member?

Indeed! The Dongfang Alliance Leader and the headmaster should be similar, both having undertaken tasks akin to those of the Silver and Golden Garment.

At the same time, Li Yuan also noticed that this Phantom in front of him was not an imprint of Dongfang Ji’s consciousness.

It was merely a segment of imagery.

“The Nine Leaves Nine Mountains is related to the Chaos Divine Court…” Dongfang Ji’s Phantom slowly said, “I even suspect that the name ‘Burial’ in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain implies that some significant figure from the Chaos Divine Court may be buried deep within.”

Li Yuan listened with bated breath.

This was absolutely major news.

“Black Garment, Silver Garment, Golden Garment, Purple Garment are the four levels designated within the Chaos Divine Court for Semi-Divine Flying Heaven members,” Dongfang Ji continued, “Among them, the Silver Garment Members are considered core, yet they are at the very bottom of the core level.”

“Normally, passing the test of the Nine Leaves World grants one the status of Silver Garment Member, accompanied by many advantages.”

“Passing the test of the Nine Mountains World allows one to become a Golden Garment Member,” said the Phantom of Dongfang Ji.

Li Yuan instantly understood.

It seems that the headmaster Fang Hai had become a Silver Garment Member in those years.

“Golden Garment Members are highly regarded, so as soon as I passed the test of the Nine Mountains World and was promoted from Silver to Golden Garment, I immediately made a Law oath to rush to the Chaos Divine Court…” The Phantom of Dongfang Ji continued, “If I am lucky and arrive on time, I should be within the Chaos Divine Court by now.”

The Chaos Divine Court?

Li Yuan finally understood why Dongfang Ji had to leave in such a hurry… So, it was a forced command from the Nine Mountains World.

“Purple Garment Members, however, are even rarer.”

“Next, let me tell you about the benefits available to Silver Garment and Golden Garment Members…”

“Of course, perhaps you’ve already picked the benefits at the ‘Eternal Hall’, or maybe you haven’t yet.”

“If you haven’t chosen yet, listen closely,” the Phantom of Dongfang Ji advised.

Li Yuan listened intently.

According to Dongfang Alliance Leader, if I use the ‘Return Command’ now, should I be heading to the Eternal Hall to pick the benefits that ‘Golden Garment Members’ can receive?

“Both Fang Hai and I have chosen quite a few treasures beneficial for the civilization’s growth; hence, there’s no need for you to choose the same kind…” Dongfang Ji explained in detail.

This made Li Yuan gradually understand the choices made by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.

They had both made significant contributions to the entire civilization.

“The treasures you choose should as much as possible strengthen yourself.” Dongfang Ji said, “Although I awakened the Eight Stars Veins, there are still many obstacles to ascending to Heavenly God…”

“You, with your Second Rank Eight Star Veins, have much greater hope than both Fang Hai and me.”

“You could even become an exceedingly powerful existent among the Heavenly Gods.”

“By that time, you might be able to resolve the threat that the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain poses to our entire civilization,” Dongfang Ji said earnestly.

“Additionally.”

“After you become a Semi-Divine, without sufficient strength and accumulation, do not attempt to brave the Nine Mountains World,” continued Dongfang Ji, “I am merely a Semi-Divine with Eight Star Veins, and can only hope to become a Purple Garment Member within the Chaos Divine Court… But you are different, you have a complete chance to awaken the Nine Star Pulse at the Semi-Divine stage.”

“When that time comes, and you once again brave the Nine Mountains World, you will have the opportunity to become a Purple Garment Member in one fell swoop, and the benefits you receive will surely far exceed both your and my imagination.”

“By then,”

“As a Purple Garment Member of the Chaos Divine Court, the treatment you receive will be completely different,” Dongfang Ji said. “Remember, only when you have sufficient time should you venture into the Nine Mountains World.”

Time passed.

Thanks to the messages left by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan gained a deeper understanding of the so-called ‘Eternal Hall.’

After a long time.

Whoosh~ The dark red phantom suddenly dissipated.

Not leaving behind a single trace.

“Alliance Leader Dongfang risked a great deal to leave behind these messages,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “He must be worried I would recklessly attempt the Nine Mountains World trial.”

“What a pity!”

“Alliance Leader Dongfang probably didn’t expect that I would directly face the trial for Purple Garment Membership.”

Through analysis and combining his own experiences, Li Yuan had roughly guessed.

Normally, strong practitioners would sequentially venture into the Nine Leaves Nine Mountains at the Flying Heaven and Semi Divine stages… but for him, this must be the one trial mission.

If completed, one could potentially become a Purple Garment Member.

And if failed? There probably won’t be a second chance.

“The Purple Garment Member task must be completed.”

A sense of longing arose in Li Yuan’s heart: “By then, even if I will be like Alliance Leader Dongfang, I want to go to the Chaos Divine Court and find a way to leave a deep foundation for the Seven Star Civilization.”

“Six years.”

“If I wish to win the Ancestral Realm battle, I must head to the Eternal Hall as soon as possible,” Li Yuan thought to himself.

If before Li Yuan was not in a rush,

Then, after learning the secrets of the Eternal Hall from the messages left by Dongfang Ji, he understood… opportunity!

The Eternal Hall was Li Yuan’s chance to make a rapid breakthrough in the next six years.

“I cannot be impatient”

“The ranking battle has just ended, wait another month,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Then I will apply for the Semi Divine Level trial task and leave Jue Xing Ancient City.”

Being too weak at the Flying Heaven Level, the trial tasks for Flying Heaven Level reserve members all take place within Jue Xing Ancient City.

As for Semi Divine Level reserve members, each one is powerful, and many of the tasks are scattered all around this heaven and earth.

More freedom.

Bigger gains.

But also greater danger.

“First, cultivate all the Star Techniques to the Fourth Rank Limit.” With a thought, Li Yuan calmed down and continued to practice the Star Technique “Heaven and Earth River.”

…

Jue Xing Ancient City, being the strongest power in this world, was always in the spotlight.

Now, as the critical juncture of yet another Ancestral Realm battle approached…thus, other major powers in the world were closely watching the Semi Divine Level talents of Jue Xing Ancient City.

The news of the Semi Divine ranking battle, even if not spread by the Divine Fire Hall, gradually became known to all forces.

After all, there were too many participants to keep it completely concealed.

“Jing Kui, he actually made a breakthrough? This!!”

“Jing Kui was already strong, now with his breakthrough, he probably has a chance to vie for first place in the Ancestral Realm battle.”

“Yes, the chances are significant.” Jing Kui’s breakthrough put the various major forces on alert.

“Xu Yuan, it is said that he is a Third Rank with Eight Star Veins, although it hasn’t been confirmed… He just entered the Semi Divine and rushed to eleventh place? Is he that fierce?”

“Soul Attack!”

“His Soul Attack is terrifying, many of the Semi Divine Saint Heirs from Jue Xing Ancient City can’t withstand it.” Apart from Jing Kui, what shocked the major forces the most was ‘Xu Yuan.’

A Soul Attack was extreme, but it also represented a horrifying deterrent to the weaker ones.

“We must pay attention to Soul Defense.”

“Right!”

“No matter how strong Jing Kui is, he’s just one person; if a large number of Semi Divine Level talents join forces, they can hold him off.”

“Jing Kui needs to attack several times before he can kill someone.”

“But facing Xu Yuan’s Soul Attack, if one cannot withstand it, it’s an instantaneous downfall, even if hundreds or thousands unite, it’s still useless,”

“Find the best Soul Secret Treasures, then cultivate to attune to those Soul Secret Treasures.” The various major forces across the world quickly adjusted the cultivation plans for their Semi Divine talents in preparation for the Ancestral Realm battle six years later.

Such influence brought by Xu Yuan was indeed astonishing.

But these changes were of no concern to Li Yuan himself.

…

Two months later.

Having cultivated the five Nine Layer Star Techniques to their peak, Li Yuan applied for the trial task.

He left Jue Xing Ancient City.
