Chapter 575: Chapter 327: The Gift of the Venerable (Seeking Basic Monthly Votes at the Beginning of the Month)

“Alright, from now on, I will call you Little Ice,” Li Yuan said with a smile.

Li Yuan knew that, although Liu Bing addressed him as ‘master’, the ‘bloodline contract’ they had formed was one of equality, and he couldn’t force her to do anything.

Had it been a true ‘servant contract,’ it would have involved planting prohibitions and the ability to torment the other party.

If it were soul control, that would be even more overbearing, with the servant worshipping the master from the heart.

Now, Liu Bing’s behavior was not out of subservience but a sense of dependency due to their bloodline affinity and the fact that she had just been born.

But she was not a true subordinate.

Furthermore, Li Yuan genuinely liked Liu Bing and instinctively refused to treat her as a servant.

He saw Liu Bing more like a younger sister.

“Okay,” the Green Snake nodded vigorously, apparently quite pleased.

“Little Ice, shrink your body,” said Qiu Bingzun with a smile. “If you maintain your original size, it won’t be easy for Li Yuan to carry you when going to the human world.”

“Okay,” Liu Bing nodded rapidly, and her body quickly shrank, her wings and claws retracting, making her look like a real little green snake.

She then quickly coiled around Li Yuan’s arm.

Only a small, delicate snakehead peeked out from his sleeve, appearing quite exquisite and lovely.

“Such a versatile transformation, how impressive,” Li Yuan exclaimed in admiration. Like his own use of the ‘All Things Divine Body’ that could enlarge his form.

But to shrink like this? He couldn’t do it.

“This is the innate talent of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpent, and because Little Ice has cultivated the Nine Layer Body Refining Star Technique ‘Heavenly Wind Divine Body’ to perfection, she can change her body like this,” Qiu Bingzun explained. “She can shrink as well as enlarge, but the larger her form, the more Origin Power it consumes.”

“Nine Layer Star Technique?” Li Yuan was astonished.

“Master, I have only just cultivated this body refining star technique to the First Rank Limit,” Liu Bing added quickly. “The other two Nine Layer Star Techniques ‘Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Solution’ and ‘Sky-Cleaving Wings,’ I have also only cultivated to the First Rank Limit.”

Li Yuan was even more amazed.

Three Nine Layer Star Techniques?

“Don’t be surprised,” said Qiu Bingzun with a sense of awe. “As one of the strongest Divine Beasts within the Divine Realm from the Wind Vein… Little Ice’s talent is beyond your imagination. She was born at the Second Rank Limit and possesses Sixth Stage Perfection in technique comprehension.”

“And she awoke with Seven Star Veins.”

“Moreover, she has awakened three Perfect Star Veins… Combined with her inherited techniques, she often cultivates the three Nine Layer Star Techniques to a primary stage before she is born.”

“She is naturally in harmony with the Wind Law. Normally, it would take her a thousand years to reach the True God Peak in comprehension, which is the slowest growth rate, but with ‘Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Solution,’ her chances of becoming a Heavenly God increase, and her progress will be even faster, often reaching True God Peak within a few hundred years,” Qiu Bingzun said.

Li Yuan understood. This essentially meant that Liu Bing’s already extraordinary aptitude for Enlightenment had been further enhanced.

“‘Heavenly Wind Divine Body’ is the Supreme Body Refining Star Technique that suits her best.”

“‘Sky-Cleaving Wings’ is the Supreme Escaping Method Star Technique she has cultivated to complement her wings, making her speed almost instantaneous… She will likely be able to Travel the Void and touch upon the Space Law in the future.”

Qiu Bingzun introduced them one by one, finally smiling, “When Little Ice has cultivated all three star techniques to the Second Rank Limit, Spirit Gun, in a life or death battle, you might not necessarily be her match.”

Li Yuan was deeply shocked.

It was too exaggerated.

Truly worthy of being one of the strongest Divine Beasts of the Divine Realm, it’s no wonder she was destined to grow to the True God Peak, and even have a certain chance to ascend to Heavenly God.

This was simply the most perfect talent and star technique pairing of the Wind Vein.

“Master,”

“Qiu Elder has told me that your talent is only higher, not lower compared to mine; it simply needs further exploration,” Liu Bing said. “Moreover, Seven Star Veins and three Nine Layer Star Veins are the limits of my bloodline… If I want to become a Heavenly God and rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan, these alone are not enough.”

Listening to this, Li Yuan thought his own talent was higher?

He had awakened three Perfect Star Veins, which did seem stronger… but he had also cultivated diligently from a young age, using the abilities of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, and only now had he awakened Six Star Veins.

But Little Ice, she was truly innately talented!

She was born at a Semi Divine Level of comprehension and could probably reach the Threshold of the Law with just a little bit of Cultivation.

“Li Yuan, Little Ice, both of you have extremely high talents and the potential to become Heavenly Gods,” Qiu Bingzun said softly. “But talent is just the foundation; you also need to work hard and grind yourself.”

“Yes,” Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, but if a smart bird works just as hard, flying faster and more determinedly, then the early bird could never keep up.

On the path of Cultivation, to become a superior power!

Talent, opportunity, luck, effort… none of these four can be neglected.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, Qiu Bingzun waved his hand, and the Divine Palace around them trembled. The scenes around them rapidly collapsed, as if space itself was compressing… until all merged into a blue sphere, which continued to shrink to the size of a thumb, like a marble.

“This?” Li Yuan looked at the blue sphere, then glanced around, seeing only emptiness around the three of them.

It was as if the center of the Mothership had been hollowed out.

“Little Ice, you first enter the ‘Heavenly Snake Hall’ and continue cultivating your three star techniques,” Qiu Bingzun spoke softly. “I have something to tell Li Yuan.”

“Okay,” Liu Bing nodded and with a flicker of movement, flew from Li Yuan’s arm into the blue sphere.

She vanished from sight.

“A Cave Heaven Treasure?” Li Yuan’s eyes flickered with astonishment. The Ancient Divine Palace was a Cave Heaven Treasure.

Capable of containing vast spaces within a tiny area.

“Yes, this object is known as the Heavenly Snake Hall, and I will let Little Ice refine it and take it with her for convenience in her Cultivation,” Qiu Bingzun said. “Until she becomes a True God, the normal requirements for her Cultivation, including the Exotic Treasures required for practicing many star techniques, are all contained within, so you need not worry too much… I will arrange everything.”

Li Yuan nodded, feeling relieved in his heart.

If all the needs for Xiaobing’s cultivation were to be arranged by oneself… the cost would indeed be great.

Qiu Bingzun had thought everything through very thoroughly.

“Of course, not all treasures are relinquished. If she is fortunate enough to awaken the Eight Star Vein, or even the fourth Nine Layer Star Vein, allowing her to cultivate more Supreme Star Techniques… if there is hope, I’d also wish you to help her as much as possible,” Qiu Bingzun said.

“Senior, rest assured.”

“If there is an opportunity, I will do my utmost to help Xiaobing,” Li Yuan solemnly said, it was a thought from the depths of his heart.

Qiu Bingzun smiled.

Whoosh!

With a wave of his hand, nearly a hundred lustrous jade stones materialized in front of him.

“I said I would give you a generous gift.” Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. “These are the Inheritance Crystal Stones I have prepared for you. You may take a look at some of them now.”

“Okay.” Li Yuan nodded and with a thought, his Divine Sense released, sensing these crystal stones.

Boom! A flood of information surged into Li Yuan’s mind.

“Divine Realm Basics,” “All-Encompassing Knowledge,” “Treasure Appraisal Knowledge,” “Brief of Origin Power Weapons”… Nine Layer Star Techniques “Heavenly Wind Star Meridian True Explanation,” “Heavenly Wind Divine Body,” “Heavenly God Feather,” “Myriad Shadows Void”…

Li Yuan silently sensed them, feeling astounded in his heart.

Among these crystal stones, there was a vast amount of fundamental information about making one’s way in the Divine Realm. Although they seemed unimpressive, they were extremely important, and with these stones, one could fully understand the Divine Realm… ensuring that one would not be completely in the dark upon entering the Divine Realm in the future.

So-called vision is insight.

To enhance one’s insight is through one’s experiences or by learning from the experiences of predecessors.

However, just to read through these Inheritance Crystal Stones would be quick for Li Yuan.

To memorize them all would be even more difficult.

Aside from these fundamental information stones, the rest were mostly Star Techniques, a total of four Nine Layer Star Techniques, with more than fifty Seventh Layer and Sixth Layer Star Techniques, all of which could be cultivated up to the Sixth Rank True Divine level… the quantity was overwhelming.

It could be said that from now on, in the aspect of Wind Vein Star Techniques, Li Yuan could freely choose the ones suitable for himself.

“These are the basics.”

“The most precious is this ‘Inheritance Imprint,'” Qiu Bingzun once again handed over a crystal-clear stone, which was quite different from the other Inheritance Crystal Stones.

It seemed more mysterious.

A complex look flashed in Qiu Bingzun’s eyes, “I have infused all the insights from my lifetime of cultivation into this Inheritance Imprint… it should last for a very long time.”

“Remember, if you sense it superficially, although the cultivation effect will be much less, it will consume much less of the imprint’s power.”

“But if you resonate with ‘Consciousness Resonance,’ it will greatly consume the spiritual imprint contained within, and I estimate it will last at most ten times,” Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan. “How you want to use it is up to you.”

Inheritance Imprint?

Li Yuan gently took the crystal stone, he couldn’t help but think of the ‘Martial God Inheritance’ from the Martial Divine Star Realm; it seemed similar.

However, the ‘Divine Being Inheritances’ in the Martial Divine Star Realm were from Fifth Rank Divine Beings.

Whereas Qiu Bingzun’s Inheritance Imprint belonged to the True God Peak level, incomparable to the former.

…

“In addition to the inheritance.”

“I have prepared three treasures for you,” Qiu Bingzun said, gently pushing with his hand, a Storage Treasure flew towards Li Yuan, “This first one is for now.”

“The second one, when Xiaobing becomes a Demigod, you will receive it upon breaking the seal in the Heavenly Snake Hall.”

“The third one, however, you will have to wait until Xiaobing ascends to Divine Being,” said Qiu Bingzun. “I hope you can understand.”

“The Exalted One has considered everything,” Li Yuan said.

This was probably because he worried that if Li Yuan received all the treasures now, he might neglect Liu Bing.

Li Yuan also received the Storage Treasure and put away both the Inheritance Crystal Stones and the Inheritance Imprint he had just received.

.”..Additionally.”

“I will grant you ‘Mothership’ second-level authority,” Qiu Bingzun said. “You can freely enter and leave the mothership and use its ‘Scouting Function’ to sense the entire Mingxu Star Realm… you can also activate the mothership’s attack mode, and as long as the target is within the Mingxu Star Realm, you can strike to kill.”

Li Yuan’s heart was joyous. Quite powerful indeed.

It was unfortunate that the entire mothership had crashed and was somewhat suppressed by the core power of the Star Realm… Were it able to fly, the entire Seven Star Civilization would possess a great weapon.

But even if the mothership could not move,

such authority allowed him to easily sweep through the entire Mingxu Star Realm.

For entities like the Tianliang Civilization, the Mingxu Beast Clan, and others within teh Mingxu Star Realm, if he desired to carry out slaughter… it would be effortless.

…

After some more conversation, Qiu Bingzun looked at Li Yuan, “Li Yuan, I have told you everything that needed to be told. From now on, it’s up to you and Liu Bing… I am already dead and ultimately, I am but a Spiritual Imprint, unable to help you.”

“Hope.”

“Both of you may ultimately ascend to Heavenly God,” Qiu Bingzun said. “And rebuild our Heavenly Serpent Clan.”

Whoosh!

Qiu Bingzun’s Phantom dissipated, leaving only the thumb-sized ‘Heavenly Snake Hall.’

Li Yuan reached out, took the Heavenly Snake Hall into his possession, and communicated with Xiaobing to make it shrink further, like a speck of dust, hiding it within his battle suit.

“Mothership authority.”

“Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor, Xue Yan, Myriad Scales Beast Emperor… you are all here.” Li Yuan could sense their locations.

“First to complete the ‘Soul Nine Refinements,’ then I will go to control them one by one.”
