Chapter 991: Chapter 496: The Curtain Falls! Departure (6K)

On the path of cultivation, Li Yuan had always planned clearly.

“The three great Soul Secret Techniques, ‘Burning Heart Blade,’ ‘Mind Soul,’ and ‘Black Soul Abyss,’ I have already cultivated to the True God Level.” Numerous thoughts surfaced in Li Yuan’s mind: “Next, I just need to spend more time refining them. These three secret techniques will naturally become even stronger.”

“On the path of the soul, moving forward means studying the operation of Virtual Realm Life… The time and energy required will multiply tenfold or a hundredfold, yet achieving significant breakthroughs will only become more challenging.” Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Li Yuan was fully aware that the body carries the soul.

Thus, the Origin Power Realm was fundamental.

For True Gods, they didn’t need to cultivate extensively, as each of them would naturally open up their Spiritual Void Realm, a result of possessing a Divine Heart.

Currently, Li Yuan’s soul had stepped into the True God Realm. Unless he brought about a fundamental transformation in his Life Level, his Spiritual Void Realm was unlikely to undergo any major qualitative changes.

Researching the operation of Virtual Realm Life? Many Heavenly Gods had spent hundreds of thousands of years on this and still achieved no major results.

“The path of the soul must still be studied, but for now, I don’t need to spend excessive energy on it.” Li Yuan resolved inwardly.

In the past nine years, for the sake of killing Chi Yan True God, defeating the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and due to his Soul Realm not having yet stepped into the True God Realm, Li Yuan had devoted most of his efforts to the path of the soul.

Now, he had succeeded.

“Next, I should return to my prior focus and continue comprehending the Laws.” Li Yuan murmured to himself.

To awaken more Life Stars, aside from strengthening the soul, the most crucial thing was to enhance his Law Comprehension.

Especially the Space Law!

It was the foundation of all.

“Once I comprehend the ninth form of the ‘Boundary Cloud Spear,’ my Spear Technique will reach the Ninth Rank Early Stage level (True God Middle Rank).” Li Yuan silently cultivated.

Combining three Laws and using them to refine a Spear Technique was far more challenging than working with a single Law.

Even with Li Yuan’s comprehension, it would take him considerable time.

…

During his cultivation breaks, an awareness projection of Li Yuan once again entered the Ancient Divine Palace.

“Li Yuan.” The young woman in white looked at Li Yuan.

“Sister, you must have overheard just now.” Li Yuan solemnly said, “The emerging Qing Mo Heavenly God is likely the one who killed Master Gu Ju.”

“I didn’t expect that, after over ten thousand years, he would have broken through to become a Heavenly God.” Li Yuan said in a low tone.

The concepts of True God and Heavenly God were entirely different.

Out of tens of thousands of True Gods, it was rare for even one to attain the status of a Heavenly God.

Heavenly Gods, even in the Divine Realm, were considered to have truly entered the ranks of super-powerhouses.

Even among the nearly eight hundred Registered Disciples of the Jue Xing Divine Emperor, only around fifty had ultimately ascended to become Divine Kings, while the rest had stalled at the Heavenly God Realm.

“Back then, that Qing Mo Heavenly God was already a True God Limit Expert. While it’s uncommon, his breakthrough to Heavenly God status isn’t entirely surprising.” Gu You remarked, “However, this has brought you a formidable enemy.”

“By opposing him, your entire civilization could face enormous danger.” Gu You expressed some concern.

Master Gu Ju was already dead.

Although she wanted revenge, she cared more about Li Yuan’s safety.

“Sister, this time it’s not me who wants to oppose him. It’s him who seeks conflict with me.” Li Yuan shook his head and said, “Logically, the Immortal Ruins Civilization, being just a powerful civilization in the Mortal Domain, is far inferior to an Initial Rank Divine Kingdom… It wouldn’t even catch the attention of a Heavenly God.”

“More so, this isn’t his home civilization.”

A Middle Rank Divine Kingdom governed at least a thousand star systems… And each star system contained at least tens of thousands of Life Planets, some as many as hundreds of thousands.

Such an expansive territory!

Additionally, a Middle Rank Divine Kingdom’s territory typically corresponded to at least several hundred Mortal Domains.

From any perspective, a magnificent Heavenly God had no reason to care about the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

This was akin to how Lie Qing True God of the Crimson Sun Civilization had no dealings with Heavenly Gods.

“He knows your extraordinary talent, yet he still insists on protecting the Immortal Ruins Civilization.” Gu You pondered aloud, “Is it because of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?”

“Yes.”

“Aside from the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain, I can’t think of another reason.” Li Yuan said, “The Immortal Ruins Civilization might well be his foothold in our Mortal Domain.”

Gu You nodded slightly, agreeing with Li Yuan’s reasoning.

“To eliminate the threat of the Immortal Ruins Civilization, a clash with the Qing Mo Heavenly God is inevitable. I can’t join the Wandao Divine Court…” Li Yuan’s eyes glimmered with killing intent: “Besides, what if he’s a Heavenly God? I must avenge Master.”

“If conflict is destined, should I retreat in fear?” Li Yuan firmly declared.

This was not in line with Li Yuan’s nature.

Among powerful practitioners, following one’s true nature was paramount.

This was why he had destroyed the Myriad Demons Civilization and helped Lie Feng Semi-Divine rebuild his homeland. Li Yuan felt he should do so, so he acted.

“Though Heavenly Gods are powerful, I do not fear them.” Li Yuan said with a faint smile.

In his homeland, Li Yuan feared no one.

Upon reaching the Divine Realm, he would advance toward the Chaos Divine Court’s core with great speed, joining various major forces. Naturally, Li Yuan felt no fear.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Qing Mo Heavenly God and Lie Qing True God, at most, he was merely a Purple Garment Semi-Divine.

While Purple Garment Semi-Divines were far more likely to ascend to Heavenly God than Golden Garment Semi-Divines, not every one succeeded.

“But I possess the Nine Star Meridian.”

“Even if I don’t achieve the Ten-Star Meridian in the future, ascending to Heavenly God with the Nine Star Meridian will be effortless.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “With the Nine Star Meridian, I am destined to be among the most powerful Heavenly Gods.”

Becoming a Heavenly God and avenging Master Gu Ju was just one of the many goals Li Yuan had set.

“By becoming a Heavenly God, I can truly unify the Mortal Domain and ensure the everlasting prosperity of the Seven Star Civilization.”

In Li Yuan’s heart, even greater ambitions burned.

First, strive to achieve the Ten-Star Meridian. Then, pursue becoming a Divine King and, eventually, ascend to the levels of Heart Dream God Emperor, Jue Xing Divine Emperor, and those truly standing at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm.

For cultivation of life, it was never about being emotionless or desireless.

Without desires, one could not become strong… True super-powerhouses always had a series of pursuits and obsessions that allowed them, over countless years, to remain unmoved and grow ever stronger.
