Chapter 599: Chapter 338: Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber! Soul Rending

Feixing, a mysterious place where the sky was dim, and below was a vast ocean.

Yet, the ocean water was completely black, unfathomable.

Two figures stood in the void.

“Teacher, what’s the matter?” Fang Hai in black robe asked Dongfang Ji, who was not far away.

If Li Yuan were here,

he would have sensed the changes in Fang Hai’s aura, which had greatly changed from the past.

If the past Fang Hai was reserved and substantial, occasionally revealing a hint of sharpness,

then now, he was like an abyss, becoming unfathomable.

“Li Yuan just sent a message asking if he could exchange for a large batch of Fourth Rank Soul Treasures,” Dongfang Ji said with a smile, “He wants to exchange for 100 pieces.”

“100 pieces? That many? Even the entire Seven Stars Treasury doesn’t have that many,” Fang Hai expressed doubtfully.

“Should I try to persuade him?” Fang Hai shook his head, “By doing this, other Semi-Divine and Flying Heaven levels will probably lack such treasures for cultivation.”

To Fang Hai, even if Li Yuan had enough Seven Stars Points, he shouldn’t be so capricious.

One must always consider the bigger picture.

“No need.”

“He communicated directly with me and didn’t trouble San Ye, probably because he wanted to ask if I could make the exchange,” Dongfang Ji said with a smile. “He previously risked his life and made significant contributions to civilization… A fair exchange, naturally, we cannot let him be disheartened.”

“I’ve already instructed Yun Pu to prepare.”

“A few hundred Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, I can still afford to exchange,” Dongfang Ji stated calmly.

Fang Hai’s pupils contracted, slightly shocked.

A single Fourth Rank Soul Treasure was normally worth a thousand or two thousand points… one hundred pieces would be about 200,000 Seven Stars Points.

But treasures are not calculated like that.

Logically, like Fourth Rank Treasures, the production of the entire civilization was finite within a certain time frame; they couldn’t be exchanged unlimitedly by any powerful entity.

Unless… there was a stable supply channel.

But in the entire Dimensional Domain, which force could stably supply Fourth Rank Soul Treasures? Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization couldn’t do it!

In an instant, Fang Hai thought of many possibilities.

“No need to ask more,” Dongfang Ji shook his head with a smile, “Once you conquer the Seventh Mountain, many things will naturally become clear… and by then, the Seven Star Civilization will also be handed over to you.”

“Yes, teacher,” Fang Hai nodded, no longer inquiring about the source of the treasures, yet he couldn’t help but ask, “What does Li Yuan need so many Fourth Rank treasures for?”

“He said he wants to impact the Semi-Divine Soul and awaken the Seven Star Veins,” Dongfang Ji replied.

Fang Hai’s pupils contracted.

“According to the Martial Divine Hall’s perception, just half a year ago, his Spear Technique was comparable to a Demigod,” Dongfang Ji said with a smile. “Much faster than you back in the day.”

“Only over three years have passed since the conflict in the Mingxu Star Realm, and his Spear Technique has transformed? Indeed, much faster than me,” Fang Hai sincerely said. “I was nearly forty when my True Intent Comprehension reached the Demigod level.”

“And it took another decade and the opportunity in the Nine Leaves World for me to step into the Threshold of the Law.”

“Li Yuan is indeed much stronger than me,” Fang Hai stated.

“No need to compare yourself with him, as everyone’s talent and opportunities differ,” Dongfang Ji said with a smile. “Before him, you were already a rare genius of our Seven Star Civilization.”

“It’s all thanks to your excellent guidance, teacher,” Fang Hai solemnly said.

He was very grateful to Dongfang Ji in his heart, knowing well that without his teacher’s guidance all the way… he wouldn’t have made it to where he was today.

“Teacher, does Li Yuan have a chance of awakening the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior?” Fang Hai asked doubtfully, “Are Fourth Rank treasures alone enough?”

“They are not enough,” Dongfang Ji shook his head. “The Seven Star Veins… are not that easy.”

“His body is too weak to achieve a Semi-Divine level soul… Relying solely on external objects, even Fifth Rank treasures are not enough.”

“Sixth Rank treasures? I have difficulty offering them, and even if I could, his soul and body wouldn’t withstand it,” Dongfang Ji said.

Fang Hai nodded in agreement.

Treasures also required a strong enough constitution to be effective.

Otherwise, sometimes they could even be harmful.

“With two True God Heritages guiding him, he won’t stray from his path… but how far he can go depends on him,” Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Hai. “Don’t worry about him; you need to focus on yourself next.”

“I look forward to the day you conquer the Nine Leaves, achieve Semi-Divinity, and finally return from conquering the Seventh Mountain,” Dongfang Ji’s eyes filled with anticipation.

“Teacher.”

“Disciple, I will give it my all,” Fang Hai bowed deeply and then hesitated no longer.

Whoosh!

He transformed into a streak of light and dived into the pitch-black ocean water… deep in this sea area was the entrance to the Nine Leaves World.

In the void, Dongfang Ji watched the pitch-black waters.

For a moment, he was somewhat lost in thought.

“Hopefully, he can succeed,” Dongfang Ji murmured softly.

He had great expectations for Li Yuan but allowed him to develop freely without intervention.

However, with Fang Hai, he had profound insights, as he was a Direct Disciple nurtured for decades.

The effort spent on Fang Hai was the most extensive.

“Master, I have already contacted the divine being from the Myriad Realms Commerce Chamber,” a deep voice suddenly resonated beside Dongfang Ji. “We expect the relevant treasures to arrive at the ‘Canglan Star’ in three days.”

“Yes, go arrange for their reception,” Dongfang Ji spoke softly. “For the next period, no matter what Li Yuan wants, as long as his Seven Stars Points are enough to exchange… exchange them for him.”

“I can’t nurture him like a Heavenly Divine, but he should still have the basic cultivation.”

“Yes,” the deep voice responded.

…

Three days later.

“Li Yuan, your items have arrived, could you confirm them on the virtual network?” Duanmu Hong in white robe smiled, “What did you buy this time? The delivery was made by a San Ye Semi-Divine, must be quite valuable, right?”

“Some small items,” Li Yuan said with a smile, taking the Storage Treasure handed over by Duanmu Hong.

He returned alone to the Quiet Chamber in the palace.

“Altogether with what was delivered the day before yesterday, there are a total of 100 portions of Fourth Rank treasures for restoring the soul,” Li Yuan sensed while checking the Exotic Treasures stored within the Storage Treasure.

Each bore different appearances,Some were Spirit Fruits, some Medicinal Liquids, some resembled Jade Stones, and even some looked like Withered Wood.

All bizarre.

“Alliance Hierarch, truly impressive,” Li Yuan marveled inwardly, “He deliberately acquired so many types of Fourth Rank treasures… Many of these treasures never even appeared in the Seven Stars Treasury.”

Li Yuan initially didn’t expect the Alliance Hierarch could really get them… only to find, he had underestimated the Alliance Hierarch.

“There’s a secret!” Li Yuan thought about the last time he cultivated the “All Things Divine Body.”

Dongfang Ji, too, managed to get a large amount of treasures within a few days.

“One time is a coincidence.”

“Twice?”

“All these exotic treasures gathered at once couldn’t possibly be produced within our civilization,” Li Yuan thought. “Most likely, the Alliance Hierarch has a way to exchange a large number of treasures.”

Such a channel was definitely of great significance to the entire Seven Star Civilization.

“That’s good.”

“To exchange these 100 Fourth Rank treasures, it cost 1.8 million Seven Stars Points,” Li Yuan thought. “I hope it helps.”

“As long as it succeeds.”

“Spending millions of Seven Stars Points is worth it.”

Whoosh!

With a thought, Li Yuan released a fruit that was entirely red, emitting a bizarre glow.

He immediately popped it into his mouth.

He closed his eyes.

Boom! Most of Li Yuan’s mental consciousness rushed into the first layer of the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, the Great Sun Jade Platform.

He found himself in a vast starry sky.

At the end of the starry sky was a dazzling, endless Great Sun, whose rays enveloped the void and shone upon Li Yuan.

Years ago, when his spiritual power was only above ten, Li Yuan would feel pain.

But now?

“Each time I come here, it feels comfortable,” Li Yuan’s mental consciousness felt warm.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan’s consciousness body swiftly approached the Great Sun. The originally warm light quickly turned blistering hot, followed by a scorching pain.

The closer he got, the more terrifying the light of the Great Sun, and the more daunting the pressure it emitted.

After a long time.

In Li Yuan’s vision, the entire Great Sun had already obscured half of the sky… clearly, he was very close.

“My soul is being scorched,” Li Yuan’s face showed faint signs of pain.

Over the past several years, Li Yuan practiced the Visualization Method mostly here.

It was extremely painful, and even with a Semi-Divine level willpower like Li Yuan’s, it was painful… but it wasn’t a real threat to his life.

“Not enough!”

“If I were just practicing normally, staying here for visualization would be enough, but if I want to break through the limit.”

“Then I must get even closer,” determination flashed in Li Yuan’s eyes.

Boom!

Li Yuan continued to approach, that soul-scorching pain intensifying.

Li Yuan clenched his teeth and pressed on.

“Hiss~” The dreadful light of the Great Sun even penetrated the surface, starting to harm Li Yuan’s soul directly; it was like tearing the soul apart.

Pain!

Agonizing pain!

“I’ve reached my limit.” Not only was Li Yuan’s soul trembling, but his body was also subtly affected, shaking.

With a thought, Li Yuan operated the “Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture.”

Swoosh~From the other end of the void, in the starry sky, slender strands of peculiar energy traveled through the void, infiltrating Li Yuan’s consciousness body, easing the soul’s pain, and healing the soul’s injuries.

But it was far from enough.

“Crack~” Li Yuan immediately swallowed that Fourth Rank fruit.

Quickly, the fruit’s effectiveness unfolded, streams of peculiar energy infiltrated Li Yuan’s spiritual world… beginning to heal his soul’s wounds.

“Continue!”

“Temper the spirit, temper the consciousness!” Li Yuan tenaciously endured the pain: “My body is too weak, so I cannot directly nurture a Semi-Divine level soul or rely on external items.”

“Thus, the only option is to find a way for the soul to undergo a metamorphosis from within.”

“Visualization Method!”

“The pressure of the Great Sun.”

“Having practiced the Visualization Method for seven years, although I’ve been very diligent, every time I reached the limit of what my spiritual power could endure, I would rest… To break my body’s confines, I need to break the soul’s limit!” This was the method Li Yuan thought of to completely transform the soul.

Visualization Method!!

“Time after time, squeezing the soul, tearing the soul.” Li Yuan silently endured: “Just like training the body to the verge of death… Normally, if practiced this way, the soul would not endure and collapse.”

“I’ve been continuously ingesting Fourth Rank Soul Treasures… which can combine with the Visualization Method to quickly restore soul injuries.”

“Strive!”

“Give it my all! Persist!”

“Until the day the soul undergoes a complete metamorphosis from within,” Li Yuan resolved inwardly.

…

For a Flying Heaven Level, transforming the soul to a Semi-Divine level is extremely difficult.

What about a Prime Warrior attempting it? The difficulty is unimaginable.

Li Yuan’s method, easy to speak of when Heavenly Divine beings in the Divine Realm each know it, but hard to execute… to endure the extreme pain of tearing the soul, not everyone can manage.

Especially those who grew up sheltered, inherently strong, who have never experienced hardship, how could they endure?

Even Li Yuan.

During many years of cultivation, through day after day of visualization cultivation, he honed his willpower to a semi-divine level, and still, it was somewhat unbearable.

But, he continued to persevere!

Just like when he was young, before awakening the Mind Spirit Divine Palace, also not fitting the high rank cultivation methods… he practiced day in and day out, never considering giving up.

While training at Kunlun Martial University, he could endure the extreme pain of “Body Cleansing Spirit Marrow.”

tenacity! Insanity! This was Li Yuan’s true nature.

Time passed.

One day, two days, five days… apart from regular spear technique practice, comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent, and occasionally seeing Lin Lanyue… Li Yuan spent most of his time on the Visualization Method.

Gradually.

One month, two months… after consuming 100 Fourth Rank Soul Treasures, Li Yuan exchanged for another batch.

Continuing to cultivate.

And gradually adapting, his willpower improved under such intense tempering, and his soul, under such day after day of squeezing, finally began to transform.
