Chapter 255: Divine Treasure That Makes People Crazy (Seeking monthly tickets)

If there were any other choice, Marquis Mintian would definitely not report to the clan. If this operation were led by himself, he would occupy the lion's share once he profited.

That is a legacy left by a Fire-element god, containing the hope of becoming a god.

Once reported to the clan? By the time the clan mobilizes one powerful force after another, his final harvest will probably be pitifully small.

You get what you pay for; this is an eternal truth.

Most importantly, Marquis Mintian's actual relationship with the clan is not good; otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the distant Guyue Divine Kingdom to take root and establish his own fiefdom.

The Guyue Divine Kingdom belongs to a very ordinary one among the many kingdoms and sects of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

The true peaks of the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization are those few great Immortal Sects and God Clans.

Marquis Mintian comes from a powerful God Clan.

But now, Marquis Mintian has no choice. The power he can mobilize has been lost by more than half... the remaining power can no longer compete with the Seven-Star Civilization.

Thinking of this.

Whoosh!

Marquis Mintian waved his hand, and a strange instrument the size of a table appeared in front of him. Immediately after, strands of demigod Source Power flew out and poured into the instrument, and light appeared on the instrument rapidly.

Swish~ The large amount of light rays shot out by the instrument formed a huge light screen projection above.

The projection was pitch black.

Time passed second by second, and Marquis Mintian waited patiently. After a full ten minutes.

Hum~ The projection flashed, and an old man's figure appeared.

His figure was also tall, wearing heavy armor, and the most eye-catching thing was the dark red horn on his head, similar to Marquis Mintian's horn.

Judging from the appearance alone, the two sides are of the same race.

"Marquis Mintian, long time no see." The horned old man's voice was indifferent, and his voice carried a sense of alienation.

"Grand-uncle." Marquis Mintian suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed slightly.

"I don't dare to accept that." The horned old man said indifferently.

"Grand-uncle, it was my fault back then." Marquis Mintian lowered his head, his voice dull: "This time I contacted the clan, also because I have a great good thing I want to get the clan's support for."

"A great good thing?" The horned old man's eyes narrowed: "Tell me about it."

"It was my subordinates who, while exploring a Star Realm, inadvertently found a Fire-element god ruin, but with another Level-4 civilization, the 'Seven-Star Civilization'... I originally planned to report to the clan after initial occupation." Marquis Mintian said in a low voice: "But now the Seven-Star Civilization is arrogant, I hope the clan can give some resources."

A mysterious smile appeared on the horned old man's face, not showing any emotion.

He had lived for hundreds of years, so how could he not hear Marquis Mintian's meaning.

Report to the clan after initial occupation? Bullshit. If Marquis Mintian could occupy it with his own power... I'm afraid the clan wouldn't even get the news.

Marquis Mintian is just asking for help.

But the horned old man wouldn't expose the other party's thoughts. After all, there is such a big benefit... oh no, after all, they are of the same race.

A Fire-element god treasure!

"Chijisa." The horned old man's voice was gentle: "Back when you were promoted to demigod, it seems I was the one who presided over the promotion ceremony, and more than a hundred years have passed in a flash."

Chijisa is Marquis Mintian's true name.

"Grand-uncle has treated me well since I was young." Marquis Mintian went down the slope.

Since he was young? The first time the two sides met was when Marquis Mintian became a Heaven-Flying martial artist.

"I have always believed in your character. The last thing that happened to you must have been someone making trouble from behind." The horned old man revealed a gentle smile: "I will order a thorough investigation. Now that you have found a Fire-element god ruin but are still willing to report to the clan, it shows that you have the clan at heart, which is really good."

"Grand-uncle is overpraising." Marquis Mintian said seriously.

"Hmm."

"Wait a moment, I will send you a 'Civilization Contract'. After signing, you can send all the intelligence you know back. The clan will provide maximum support according to the situation." The horned old man said: "Once it is successful, 10% of the treasures harvested from the Divine Ruins will be given to you."

"Of course, if the power in your hands can still play a big role, the share can be increased accordingly, how about it?" The horned old man said.

"I have no problem. Contributing to the clan is what I deserve." Marquis Mintian had a full smile on his face, but his heart was dripping blood.

10%?

Originally, he should have gotten more than 50%.

Of course, Marquis Mintian is not worried that the horned old man will swallow his 10%... Civilization contracts are set by the supreme existence of the entire Immortal Ruins Civilization. Once publicly signed, they must be observed.

To take a step back.

For the entire clan, the treasure of a Fire-element god is precious, but not enough to bet the entire clan's reputation.

Before the agreement between the two sides, the clan high command will squeeze, but once agreed... they will definitely complete it according to the agreement.

A person cannot stand without credibility.

A clan cannot function without rules.

The Chi God Clan has been able to stand for tens of thousands of years in the Immortal Ruins Civilization, allowing clansmen like Marquis Mintian, who have left, to still be willing to contact the clan at the first time and believe that the clan will not deceive themselves... naturally, they have their own set of operating rules.

Time passed.

Marquis Mintian quickly transmitted all the intelligence he knew to the horned old man.

"Chijisa, you have to wait patiently for a while." The horned old man said softly, and immediately his figure disappeared.

Marquis Mintian stood in place.

He knew that the horned old man had gone to contact other demigods of the God Clan, and might even go to contact the supreme god.

That's right, daring to call themselves a God Clan, the Chi God Clan has gods behind them.

Like the Guyue Divine Kingdom, they once gave birth to gods, but gods will die... in this era, the Guyue Divine Kingdom has no gods.

Time passed second by second.

Half an hour later.

"Chijisa." The horned old man's figure appeared again.

"Grand-uncle." Marquis Mintian was still very respectful.

"Five days." The horned old man said softly: "It takes time to travel from the God Clan territory to your Guyue Divine Kingdom... plus the clan mobilizing elites, they will arrive within five days."

"Good." Marquis Mintian nodded repeatedly.

Five days? He can afford to wait.

"Grand-uncle, what kind of people are you preparing to send?" Marquis Mintian couldn't help but ask.

"Three demigod-level geniuses, all of the Fire-element lineage, they will go to break into the Divine Palace ruins." The horned old man said softly: "These are all the demigod-level geniuses of the First Rank in our clan."

"All of them?" Marquis Mintian was stunned, couldn't help but ask: "No God-Child level?"

"Do you think God-Child level geniuses are Chinese cabbage?" The horned old man glanced at him: "Since they are God-Child level geniuses, they naturally won't stay in the First Rank for long... How rare is it to have just the right life layer? Now, if our entire Immortal Ruins Civilization wants to find a God-Child level genius at the First Rank level, I'm afraid we can only look for the three great Immortal Sects."

"Moreover, even if they have them, they might not be of the Fire-element lineage, and the probability of seizing the treasure will not necessarily be high." The horned old man said.

Marquis Mintian was speechless, but thinking about it, he felt it was normal; it was his own wishful thinking.

God-Child level geniuses, even in the God Clan and Immortal Sects, have a very high status.

"I understand your worry, afraid they are not Li Yuan's opponent?"

"Just a genius from a Level-4 civilization." The horned old man said: "We will naturally make full preparations. By then, the strength of the three of them will be far beyond Mo Hu."

"You have to understand, there is a big difference between demigod-level geniuses."

"Understood." Marquis Mintian nodded slightly.

Just like Heaven-Flying martial artists or demigods, the difference in strength will naturally be very large.

"Besides that, we have also prepared 300 reserve Source Martial Artists."

"You mobilize another batch of First-Rank martial artists, and we will kill our way in together."

"Of course, the treasure must be seized, but we must also make two-handed preparations." The horned old man said slowly: "The clan has also prepared several Source Martial Artist geniuses. They will enter the Lieyu Star Realm... to deal with the Source Martial Artist geniuses of the Seven-Star Civilization."

"However, their role is to protect the three demigod-level geniuses, not to fight to the death with the Source Martial Artist geniuses of the Seven-Star Civilization." The horned old man said: "Our purpose is the treasure. If we fight to the death in the Star Realm, we are not sure of winning against a powerful Level-4 civilization that has given birth to many demigods... it doesn't make much sense."

"Yes." Marquis Mintian said.

He also felt that the horned old man was making sense.

Marquis Mintian's subordinates suffered heavy casualties, which made him extremely angry, but he was not angry about the death of his subordinates, but angry about the disappearance of the hope of seizing the treasure by himself.

Marquis Mintian never had the consciousness of avenging his subordinates.

For him, seizing the god treasure is the first priority.

The rest? Not important.

Fighting for the territory of the Lieyu Star Realm? His brain must have been kicked by a donkey to go and fight for the territory of a desolate Star Realm.

Not long after.

The communication between Marquis Mintian and the horned old man was cut off.

"Three demigod-level geniuses? Can they succeed?" Marquis Mintian muttered secretly: "That Li Yuan is really monstrous."

After so long, he had already found out that the one who entered the Star Realm from the Seven-Star Civilization was 'Li Yuan'.

"Forget it, I can only believe in the clan's judgment."

"Humph!"

"In the Divine Kingdom, there are probably many people waiting to see my joke." Marquis Mintian thought secretly: "Two days ago, the Seven-Star Civilization's surprise attack was so precise... I'm afraid some demigod sold me out."

The four of them, demigods, acted with such a big commotion, and naturally, many demigods in the Divine Kingdom were paying attention.

"This time the clan sent reinforcements, I won't tell anyone."

Lieyu Star Realm.

On a desolate mountain range about 7,000 kilometers away from the Seven-Star Civilization's breeding zone.

Six figures gathered in the canyon between two mountains.

"The mission is basically completed." Rudnev, with messy hair and a domineering aura, had slightly red eyes and said in a low voice: "We killed six Heaven-Flying martial artists, four reserve Heaven-Flying martial artists, and have severely damaged the Guyue Divine Kingdom side."

Wuma Nong, Yu Jinghe, and the others listened silently.

"However."

"We also suffered casualties, Abbott and Yan Junling died in battle." Rudnev said in a low voice: "Most of the life-saving items we carried with us have also been used up."

"It's time to prepare to retreat."

Everyone nodded gently, their moods slightly depressed... even though they had long expected casualties, when their companions truly died, they still felt some sadness in their hearts.

Abbott was a Source Martial Artist genius, ordered to come and fight.

Yan Junling was one of the two Heaven-Flying martial artists left behind by the Flame Family in the Lieyu Star Realm... regardless of what purpose he had for staying here back then.

But everything is judged by actions, not intentions; he had already proven himself with actual actions.

"Jinghe." Rudnev suddenly looked at Yu Jinghe and sighed: "After I break through, you will be the number one Source Martial Artist of our Seven-Star Civilization."

"This time, if it weren't for your eruption at the critical moment, blocking Usman, we would have died at least two more."

Swish! Swish! Everyone looked at Yu Jinghe, and there was admiration in their eyes.

Abbott and Yan Junling both died in the final battle.

In that battle, two terrifying Source Martial Artist geniuses emerged from the Guyue Divine Kingdom side—Aojia and Usman.

These two, in terms of skill level, were slightly inferior to Rudnev.

But Rudnev was best at surprise attacks, not this kind of fighting style of one against ten head-on... but Aojia and Usman both cultivated powerful divine bodies, and their attacks were fierce and vast.

Plus the assistance of other Heaven-Flying level martial artists of the Guyue Divine Kingdom.

At the critical moment.

It was Yu Jinghe who erupted, turned the tide, and blocked the fierce Usman, allowing Tavares, Wuma Nong, and the others to leave first.

"This is what I should have done." Yu Jinghe looked at the other party and couldn't help but ask: "Rudnev, are you sure you want to break through?"

"Hmm."

"I have been trapped in the Source Martial Artist realm for a long time." Rudnev said in a low voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you, I have already awakened the sixth star pulse... it's time to break through."

Six star pulses? Everyone showed surprise; they naturally knew what this meant.

This almost meant that with Rudnev's comprehension and talent, once he broke through, he would definitely become a terrifying existence among the Heaven-Flying rank in the future.

"Let's go, go back first." Rudnev said.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Six streams of light soared into the sky and quickly headed toward the war base thousands of kilometers away.

The war outside was raging.

But inside the Inner Realm, it was peaceful, in the 'Inheritance Palace' located in the deepest part.

Li Yuan had been fusing that massive information, and after a full day, he finally regained consciousness.

Opened his eyes.

"This? This!" Li Yuan's heart moved, and he felt many thoughts and numerous methods floating into his mind, as if they were innate inheritance memories.

Incomparably magical.

"I can clearly know many powerful Star Art methods, but it seems I can't say them out loud." Li Yuan noticed this point. In the dark, there seemed to be an invisible restriction.

Temporarily, he can only learn it himself, but cannot teach it to others.

But it was magical enough.

"Truly worthy of being a god's inheritance." Li Yuan marveled secretly: "No wonder the two civilizations are fighting so crazily."

Li Yuan was not sure whether powerful existences like Dongfang Ji, Lante, and Demigod Baishan in the civilization had obtained similar inheritances... but at least the Star Arts that could be queried from the Starfire Treasury were far inferior to those left by his master, 'God Gu Ju'.

"Awake? How do you feel?" The girl stood on the side with her bare little feet, her skirt fluttering.

"Very strong." Li Yuan said.

"There are many Star Arts left by Father, but the true core is only the two great Ninth-Level Star Arts, *Earth Star Pulse True Explanation* and *Myriad Things Divine Body*, which I hope you can truly learn." The girl's bright eyes looked at Li Yuan.

"These two great Star Arts."

"*Earth Star Pulse True Explanation*, in the dimensional time and space, is a 'Supreme Enlightenment Star Art' with great fame. It can greatly increase the fit with the Earth Law. If you can truly cultivate it to a very high level, your hope of becoming a god will be greatly improved." The girl said: "Even gods attach great importance to this Star Art. This is a shortcut to the supreme path."

"Gods attach great importance to it?" Li Yuan marveled.

Li Yuan nodded solemnly: "Good, I will definitely continue to work hard to cultivate and strive to step into the Second Rank as soon as possible."

"Hmm."

"You have just practiced to the First Rank limit, the effect is not so obvious yet, wait until it reaches the Second Rank limit, Third Rank limit, Fourth Rank limit... the effect will be more exaggerated." The girl looked at Li Yuan: "You will understand later."

Senior Gu You already knew that Li Yuan had awakened a Ninth-Level Star Pulse and also cultivated *Earth Star Pulse True Explanation*.

"*Myriad Things Divine Body* is an ancient powerful Star Art that combines body protection and power eruption, with endless power." Senior Gu You had a trace of reminiscence in her eyes: "Back then, Father cultivated it to a very high level, his strength skyrocketed, and he relied on it to roam the domains and kill many gods."

Killed many gods? Li Yuan was secretly shocked.

It sounds like his master's strength is not to be underestimated among gods.

"Sister, does the master only know two Ninth-Level Star Arts?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Only?"

Senior Gu You was stunned for a moment, staring at Li Yuan with strange eyes: "Li Yuan, do you think Ninth-Level Star Arts are Chinese cabbage? Do you know how rare it is to be able to cultivate two supreme Star Arts?"

Li Yuan was speechless.

"Your star pulse talent is extremely high, being able to awaken a Ninth-Level Star Pulse so quickly, this is also the reason why I was willing to choose you... but in the future, if you can awaken another Ninth-Level Star Pulse, I will be incomparably satisfied." Senior Gu You shook her little head: "You will understand later."

"Hmm hmm." Li Yuan nodded obediently.

But he was muttering in his heart, Ninth-Level Star Pulse? If there are no accidents, when the spiritual awakening degree reaches 50%, he will awaken another perfect star pulse.

However, keep a low profile first!

One must keep a low profile in life.

"This Ninth-Level Star Art *Myriad Things Divine Body*, you cannot cultivate it for the time being." Senior Gu You said: "So, Master specially left behind the Seventh-Level Star Art *Earth Divine Body* and the Fifth-Level Star Art *Star Mysterious Body*. They are inherited from the same lineage as *Myriad Things Divine Body*."

"*Earth Divine Body* can be considered a simplified version."

"*Star Mysterious Body* can be considered a super simplified version... In the Source Martial Artist stage, you can first cultivate *Star Mysterious Body*, then as the star pulse becomes stronger, gradually cultivate *Earth Divine Body*, until finally cultivating *Myriad Things Divine Body*. The cultivation of the three great divine bodies is inclusive of each other and does not exclude each other." Senior Gu You said earnestly.

"Good." Li Yuan nodded.

According to Li Yuan's knowledge, most Source Martial Artists, due to limited star pulse awakening, mostly cultivate Third-Level Star Arts.

Some top-tier geniuses often only cultivate one or two Fifth-Level Star Arts or Sixth-Level Star Arts.

If he can cultivate the Seventh-Level Star Art *Earth Divine Body*, at least in the Source Martial Artist stage, it will be enough to roam freely.

It's just that divine body cultivation is the most difficult. Besides having a high enough realm and strong enough star pulses, it often requires the assistance of many external treasures for cultivation.

"As for other Star Arts."

"Such as the Domain Star Art *Nine Brilliance Void*, the Escape Art *Transformation Light*, the Killing Star Art *Intercepting Stars and Extinguishing*, etc., there are nine in total, ranging from Sixth-Level to Eighth-Level. You don't need to rush to cultivate them. Wait until your strength is strong in the future, then choose the one that fits you." Senior Gu You said: "Divine body cultivation is the first priority."

"With a strong divine body, your frontal combat power will reach an astonishing level, and you will be able to survive in many dangerous situations."

Li Yuan listened.

One must listen carefully to sister's instructions.

"Besides Star Art inheritance."

"There are some other things." The girl flipped her palm, and a glazed ancient lamp exuding strange light appeared in her palm: "Come, condense your spiritual sense on the lamp wick."

"Yes." Li Yuan immediately did as he was told, and with a thought, he had already swept across the glazed ancient lamp.

Swish~ It was as if an ordinary person's arm had been scalded... Li Yuan felt his soul tremble... and then he sensed a vague connection with the glazed ancient lamp in front of him.

"This thing is called a 'Soul Lamp', which can sense where your soul is." The girl looked at Li Yuan, a trace of worry flashing in her eyes: "As long as you are in this domain, then, through the Soul Lamp, I can confirm your life or death."

"So magical?" Li Yuan marveled secretly, truly what kind of means.

"Sister, this domain, what is a domain?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"You come from the Seven-Star Civilization, the star sky where your civilization is located, 'Seven-Star Sea', is a dimensional plane. Each plane has strong and weak, big and small... The intersection of many planes is called a dimensional domain." The girl said: "Your domain has also given birth to several powerful gods... but it has nothing to do with you for the time being."

"Gods, wanting to cross planes to reach other dimensional planes, is also extremely, extremely difficult."

Li Yuan held his breath.

So the entire Seven-Star Sea is a dimensional plane.

In that case, other alien civilizations are all in other dimensional planes?

Whoosh!

The girl waved her hand again, rumble~ I saw the huge stone wall 'Myriad Phenomena Star Map' on one side of the Divine Palace fly up instantly, followed by shrinking rapidly... and quickly merged into a thin silver sheet that appeared in the void, until it disappeared completely.

Whoosh! The thin silver sheet flew down and hovered in front of Li Yuan.

"This?" Li Yuan stared at the thin sheet.

It looks like his storage treasure.

"Star Myriad Phenomena Map is a treasure to assist enlightenment, incomparably magical." The girl looked at Li Yuan: "I have sealed it in this storage treasure. After you recognize it as your master, you can observe it with spiritual sense... it can help you master True Intent as soon as possible, and even finally step into the threshold of the Law."

"But you cannot take it out. It involves major issues, you must never leak news about it, do you understand?" The girl instructed.

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded solemnly.

Having personally experienced the Myriad Phenomena Star Map, he naturally knew what kind of magical treasure this was.

"The last few things."

Swish!

The girl waved her hand again, and a black long spear appeared in the air. The style was very familiar, very similar to the Black Star Spear.

There was also a black crystal the size of a fist, not knowing what it was.

The last piece was a purple jade plate.

"This is a weapon I specially chose for you from the weapon library after observing your weapon style. It is a Fourth-Rank weapon, which can also be called a demigod weapon."

"In terms of power, it is average among demigod weapons." The girl said softly: "The key is that its power is very restrained, and it can perfectly adapt to any owner's strength... at least it's enough for you to use until the Heaven-Flying level."

Demigod weapon? Li Yuan looked at the black long spear in surprise, not seeing the slightest appearance of a demigod weapon.

It is indeed restrained enough.

The best choice for sneak attacks, enough to make other powerhouses underestimate it, Li Yuan likes it very much.

"This crystal is a life-saving item I chose for you. Using it, unless it's some extremely powerful Heaven-Flying martial artist, otherwise, almost all below the demigod level can be killed." The girl pointed to the black crystal and said quite solemnly: "But remember, before you become a demigod and perfectly master the Inheritance Palace, I will only give you this one life-saving item."

"So be sure to use it cautiously."

"Below the demigod level, almost all can be killed?" Li Yuan held his breath looking at the black crystal.

A big killer!

In the entire Seven-Star Civilization, it seems there are no technological weapons that dare to say they can definitely kill powerhouses below the demigod level.

Let alone this kind of single-body weapon.

"The last piece is a token. Even if you leave the Inner Realm, as long as you can return to the Lieyu Star Realm, you can smoothly return through the token." The girl looked at Li Yuan.

"Star Arts, treasures to assist cultivation, weapons, life-saving items, tokens... everything that should be given to you has been given."

"The path of gods, the great path of laws, are all incomparably difficult. Relying on simple closed-door cultivation cannot make one a god. You have to fight for yourself, to see the splendor of the world." The girl had a trace of worry in her eyes, but her voice was a bit cold: "Only then can you walk to the end."

"If you eventually die on the path of becoming a god."

"Then, I will help Father select another personal disciple." The girl said slowly.

Li Yuan lowered his head, muttering in his heart.

Another one? Having himself is enough.

"Sister, then when I achieve the Heaven-Flying martial artist rank, how should I come back?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously.

"This is exactly another thing I want to say."

"When you think your strength has reached the limit of a Source Martial Artist, don't rush to break through, return to the Inner Realm first." The girl looked at Li Yuan: "By then, if you can pass the second test left by Father."

"That is when you initially master the Inheritance Palace."

"Second test?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Could it be that you think you have obtained all of Father's legacy?" The girl shook her head: "You have to be strong enough to gradually give you many treasures."

"As a sister, I am guarding them for you."

"I will always be here waiting for you." The girl smiled at Li Yuan.

"What are the requirements for the second test?" Li Yuan was curious.

"It's not difficult."

"When you can kill an ordinary Heaven-Flying martial artist in one move, it should be about right."
