Chapter 484: Chapter 290: The Alliance Hierarch’s Gifts and Promises (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Time passed, with a detailed explanation from Dongfang Ji.

Li Yuan had come to understand that the Seven Great Laws, namely Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, could also be called the Seven Fundamental Laws.

They were the cornerstone of the natural order and the workings of the universe.

The Seven Fundamental Laws all originated from the vast, endless space, and their relationship with the Space Law was one of mutual dependence.

“The Seven Fundamental Laws, the Space Law, and even the most mysterious Time Law… The universe is vast; all these laws are inherently unified.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “To comprehend each fundamental law is just to understand one aspect of the universe’s mystery.”

“By grasping just one aspect, trying to deduce the whole from a part, sensing the existence of space is naturally difficult; one must comprehend to a very advanced level.”

“But if one comprehends two laws… Their combination allows one to sense the existence of space from different aspects, making it easier to comprehend the Space Law in the future.”

“Once the Space Law is deeply understood, it’s like having a foundation for a skyscraper… Starting from space to comprehend the Seven Fundamental Laws will naturally become much easier.” Li Yuan marveled inwardly, “These two are mutually cyclical, continuously providing positive feedback to each other.”

This was a broad and noble path.

Only, it was extremely difficult to walk this path.

Firstly, one needed to have extremely high talent in several laws, and secondly, the process of combining the mysteries of the laws must be flawless.

Extremely tough!

Many demigods struggle even to reach the threshold of the mysteries of the universe, let alone simultaneously ponder multiple laws.

Even for Li Yuan, when combining the two Truth Intent powers, he could sense a trace of space fluctuations… but it was just a trace.

“Alliance Hierarch.”

Li Yuan suddenly spoke, “If we go by that, if a person comprehends three laws, or even four laws… Wouldn’t it be even easier to sense the mysteries of space?”

“Correct!”

“Theoretically, that is the case,” Dongfang Ji said indifferently, “However, you should be able to feel the difficulty of combining the mysteries of the laws by practicing two of them.”

“The more laws you combine, the easier it is to make mistakes… Once the combination of laws goes wrong, it signifies a fundamental misunderstanding of the universe’s mysteries, which is very hard to correct. It might hinder your progress in the laws you’ve studied.” Dongfang Ji continued, “It could even affect your perception of space.”

Li Yuan nodded.

What the Alliance Hierarch said was somewhat similar to what Teacher Lie Feng had mentioned.

“About your recent battle experience in the Rob Sea Star Realm, I have some understanding. What do you think about it?” Dongfang Ji said, his face still indistinct.

But his voice clearly entered Li Yuan’s mind.

“Thoughts?”

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke gravely, “If possible, once I become stronger, I want to completely eradicate the Alien Race from the entire Rob Sea Star Realm, and even from the many Second Level Star Realms.”

Dongfang Ji couldn’t help but look at Li Yuan.

That wasn’t his original intention for asking.

“Why?” Dongfang Ji asked without any change in tone, “I’ve read the reports, when you discovered that immature nest creature den, you did not hesitate to kill your way in. Weren’t you worried about dying there?”

“Worried about death?” Li Yuan fell silent for a moment, thinking of many people.

He thought of his uncle, of his late teacher Fan Jin, of Teacher Xu Bo… and also of what General Zhao had said at the headquarters the other day, his eyes nearly brimming with tears.

All of this had deeply moved Li Yuan’s heart time and again.

And it had strengthened his resolve time and again.

“Alliance Hierarch, I too am afraid of dying here.”

“But, I do not wish to see more people die because of this. I feel we shouldn’t continue to delay and wait for future generations to solve these problems,” Li Yuan said solemnly, without offering further explanation.

Dongfang Ji’s eyes flickered slightly.

Li Yuan’s statement “we shouldn’t wait for future generations to solve these problems” struck a chord in his heart.

Dongfang Ji had thoroughly studied Li Yuan’s past.

In Dongfang Ji’s view, when Li Yuan was young, he struggled hard mostly for his family and his personal goals.

But as he grew, the experiences of his uncle, teachers… and the events he lived through were invisibly influencing the formation of Li Yuan’s character.

Until today.

Through personal contact and conversations, Dongfang Ji could truly feel something in Li Yuan that was different from the ordinary Martial Path prodigy.

To have such a will and belief at the age of under 20 was very rare for Li Yuan.

As Li Yuan thought, so he acted.

Dongfang Ji was very pleased with Li Yuan and many thoughts flashed through his mind.

As the supreme leader of the Seven Star Civilization, Dongfang Ji had many principles when it came to nurturing the younger generation.

For example, compared to some prodigies with pure and astonishing talent, he would repeatedly test their character.

He preferred to cultivate those with slightly less talent but astounding perseverance, strong beliefs, and a genuine desire to protect their civilization.

Dongfang Ji was quite clear.

If there were problems with character, focusing too much on cultivating such individuals might end up bringing greater disaster instead.

To Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan represented someone with both excellent talent and character.

Even better than Fang Hai had been in his early years.

“You show extraordinary talent in the Mysteries of Earth, and you have the support of a Supreme Star Technique, but you are somewhat lacking in the Mysteries of Wind,” said Dongfang Ji, “Take a look at this item.”

With that, Dongfang Ji flipped his palm.

In the palm of his hand appeared a token the size of a palm, the token looking blue all over, with what seemed like countless fine patterns etched upon it.

Hu!

This strange token flew towards Li Yuan, who immediately reached out to catch it, his thoughts moving to resonate with it as soon as he did.

Upon this resonance,

“This token?” A trace of surprise flashed across Li Yuan’s eyes as he became instantly captivated.

The countless mysterious patterns on the token could actually convey layers upon layers of the wind’s mysteries.

Crucially, when Li Yuan’s consciousness fully converged upon the token,

“Boom!” All of a sudden, Li Yuan felt his consciousness plunging downward without end.

It was as if this token contained a miniature world within it, capable of accommodating his consciousness.

Once consciousness merged, the countless patterns on the token he had observed before clearly became towering walls, with fluctuations of the Wind Law coming from them… mysterious, magical!

To sense these mysterious fluctuations was too clear.

These numerous wind fluctuations, although seemingly chaotic at first glance, actually had great regularity and were all part of a whole… Wind is inherently shapeless.

For a moment, this even caused Li Yuan to become somewhat infatuated, and he unconsciously began to comprehend and cultivate.

After a while, Li Yuan came back to his senses.

Concentrating his consciousness, he quickly pulled away from the pull of the token.

“Alliance Hierarch?” Holding the token, Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “What kind of treasure is this token?”

“How do you feel about it?” Dongfang Ji asked.

“A treasure.” Li Yuan replied without hesitation, “Definitely a treasure that aids in the comprehension of the wind’s mysteries.”

Subconsciously, Li Yuan even compared this token to the ‘Map of Myriad Stars’ he possessed.

Each had its own strengths.

The Map of Myriad Stars, containing everything, carried the many mysteries of True Intent related to the Earth Vein, which seemed largely unrelated to each other… Li Yuan believed that once he reached the threshold of the Law of Earth, the Map of Myriad Stars would still be of great use.

And this blue token? It seemed to be of a lower tier, but the countless wind fluctuations were one whole.

The former was vast and complex, while the latter was small and refined.

“It is called the ‘Thousand Illusion Matrix Map’,” Dongfang Ji slowly said. “I’ve observed your battles. You tend to focus on the ‘Phantom Body’ approach in the Wind Vein… It should suit you well.”

Li Yuan’s heart stirred.

Suitable for him? Was the Alliance Hierarch intending to give a gift?

“I have many treasures.”

“But rarely do I give them directly to the younger generation.” Dongfang Ji said, “Whether it’s for you, for Fang Hai, these disciples, or for my own offspring, it’s the same… This Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, if you’re willing to take it, I can lend it to you for one hundred years of comprehension, but you will need to pay 10,000 points.”

“Are you willing?” Dongfang Ji asked, a smile on his face.

“Willing!” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up.

10,000 points? 100 years? It sounded like a lot, but on average, it was only 100 Seven Stars Points per year.

How many did Li Yuan have now? 81,000 Seven Stars Points!!

As for financial wealth, before leaving Rob Sea, he had sold many various items, and his bank balance had long since exceeded a hundred billion Blue Star Coins.

Whether it was Seven Stars Points or Blue Star Coins, for Li Yuan, if it could directly enhance his strength, that was best.

After all, for Li Yuan at this stage, ordinary weapons and treasures were of very limited use… Powerful weapons and treasures, such as Semi Divine Artifacts, even if he could get them, he couldn’t use them.

As for those Star Technique Secret Manuals? The one thing Li Yuan didn’t lack was Star Techniques; he had more than he could cultivate even from his two teachers.

Thus, this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map was highly suitable.

“Okay, take the item. You can return it to me after a hundred years.” Dongfang Ji said. “I will deduct the 10,000 points directly.”

Deduct directly? Li Yuan inwardly sighed.

Clearly, the one behind the Seven Stars Treasury with the right to issue and the ultimate authority over ‘Seven Stars Points’ was none other than Dongfang Ji.

It was his presence that gave meaning to the Seven Stars Points.

“By the way.”

“If during your time as Prime Warrior, or in the Flying Heaven Realm, you can fully comprehend this Thousand Illusion Matrix Map, then come find me.” Dongfang Ji continued, “You will have gains beyond your expectations.”

“Remember, the sooner you comprehend it, the greater the reward.”

Li Yuan’s heart stirred, sensing that the chance of fully comprehending it during the Prime Warrior stage wasn’t high.

After all, he had just tried it; those countless wind fluctuations… they probably already far exceeded the threshold of the laws.

“Your strength has likely not yet reached the limit of Prime Warrior.” Dongfang Ji remarked, “If you continue to cultivate… There is hope to complete the great deed you spoke of. If you can clear the many Second Level Star Realms… and contribute to the entire civilization, appropriate rewards will naturally be given to you.”

“There’s no need to worry about having too many Seven Stars Points and not being able to exchange them at the Seven Stars Treasury.”

“Once you become Flying Heaven Level, Demigod, or even possess a Divine Artifact! For instance, a Divine Artifact Long Spear, if you want it, I can get it for you.” Dongfang Ji said, “The condition is that you have enough Seven Stars Points.”

Li Yuan’s pupils constricted slightly. A Divine Artifact?

Indeed, he was the Alliance Hierarch, unchallenged as a Demigod!

“Hmm.”

“Apart from this, the final matter for which I called you here today is about Mingxu Star Realm.” Dongfang Ji’s voice became a bit serious, “Perhaps, after some time, you will need to go to Mingxu Star Realm as the ‘Spirit Gun’ to participate in battle.”
