Chapter 261: Dongfang Ji's Order! Secret Cultivation (Bonus Chapter 50)

Fang Hai had long known that Li Yuan's star pulse talent was extremely high.

As a member of the Alliance's highest echelon, he had discussed Li Yuan many times in meetings with other Star Lords and even demigods... all believing that Li Yuan would definitely be able to awaken six star pulses in the future.

Seven star pulses? There was a glimmer of hope.

Similarly, Fang Hai and Demigod Baishan had also discussed that Li Yuan had hope of awakening several seven-fold star pulses or even eight-fold star pulses in the future... but nine-fold star pulses? They really didn't dare to think about it!

Whether it was seven star pulses or nine-fold star pulses, they were legends in many dimensional planes.

Has anyone cultivated to that point? Yes! But it was too rare. Many deities found it difficult to find disciples with such star pulse talent.

Between the two, if one were to say which was more difficult, it was the seven star pulses.

But!!

No matter how highly Fang Hai thought of Li Yuan, and no matter how much he thought Li Yuan's potential was high, he never expected... that Li Yuan had awakened a nine-fold star pulse less than a month after becoming a Source Martial Artist.

He had even mastered a nine-fold star technique and truly cultivated it to the first rank extreme.

This! It had already exceeded the limit of his imagination... it was as if an elder highly valued a junior, thinking that this junior had hope of becoming a millionaire after decades of hard work, and the junior directly said his wealth already exceeded a hundred million.

"Incredible! A monster!" The shock on Fang Hai's face could no longer be hidden.

In the past, he considered his own talent and intelligence to be extremely high, not even inferior to his Master 'Dongfang Ji', and he had always taken his Master as his goal.

But now?

After a long while.

"Li Yuan, restrain your star pulse star technique," Fang Hai finally returned to calm, a trace of solemnity flashing across his face. "You haven't leaked the news of awakening a nine-fold star pulse to anyone else, have you?"

"No," Li Yuan shook his head.

"That's good," Fang Hai stared at Li Yuan, saying in a low voice. "Remember, this is a great secret. You cannot tell anyone, even Dean Hai or Demigod Baishan, you cannot tell them."

"It must never be leaked." Fang Hai's expression was unprecedentedly solemn, far more serious than when he saw the 'Contemplation Method' just now.

"Even Demigod Baishan can't be told?" Li Yuan was slightly hesitant.

"No!"

Fang Hai said solemnly, "One more person means one more risk of leakage... You don't understand at all what kind of storm will be formed once the news of you awakening a nine-fold star pulse is leaked."

"How many star pulses have you awakened now?" Fang Hai asked.

"Four," Li Yuan said. "The other three are five-fold, two-fold, and two-fold respectively, which is why I was able to master another five-fold body-refining star technique and reach the first rank limit."

"No wonder you were able to easily solve two demigod-level geniuses," Fang Hai nodded slightly. "If you cultivated for another ten years, awakened six star pulses, and then awakened a nine-fold star pulse... although it would also be shocking, it would generally be within the scope of understanding."

"But in reality?"

"Less than a month after becoming a Source Martial Artist, only level 26, spiritual power is only Sky-Flying, and skills shouldn't have reached the sixth stage... yet you have awakened your star pulses to this extent."

"With this kind of talent, if one were to say you wouldn't awaken seven star pulses in the future... I don't think anyone would believe it," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. "Even the 'eight star pulses', which are said to be beyond even deities, are not entirely impossible."

Li Yuan listened.

Deities? According to what he knew, the Gu Ju Deity was considered relatively strong among deities, but only had seven star pulses.

Gu You's highest expectation for him was only awakening eight star pulses.

All of this was enough to prove how rare and difficult it was to awaken seven or eight star pulses.

"A tall tree attracts the wind."

"Our Seven-Star Civilization, because of some special reasons, is at war with many powerful civilizations," Fang Hai said in a low voice. "Especially the Myriad Demon Civilization... that is a powerful civilization that has given birth to more than one deity, and it has been eyeing our Seven-Star Civilization, trying to conquer us completely."

"In history, the two great wars that almost destroyed Flying Star were both launched by the Myriad Demon Civilization."

"Your performance now is already genius enough," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. "Once the news of the Inter-Realm Great War gradually spreads... the Myriad Demon Civilization will target you and assassinate you in secret."

"Assassination?" Li Yuan thought of the assassination attempt by the Tianliang Civilization.

"If they find out about your terrifying star pulse talent, they will probably stop at nothing, and even bewitch the Sky-Flying level and demigods of our civilization to attack and kill you," Fang Hai said solemnly.

Li Yuan was shocked to hear this. Bewitch the demigods in the civilization?

So crazy?

"Don't be surprised. The vast majority of Sky-Flying Martial Artists and demigods in the civilization are naturally good," Fang Hai's eyes were solemn. "But human desire is infinite. Never test the human heart... In history, our Seven-Star Civilization has had demigods betray the race."

"Demigods betray the race?" Li Yuan's heart trembled. This was absolutely top-secret.

Demigods, that was already the peak martial power of the civilization.

"In short."

"It cannot be leaked," Fang Hai said solemnly. "I will report it to my Master, but from now on, except for me and my Master, you cannot tell anyone else, understand?"

"Yes," Li Yuan realized the seriousness of the matter.

It turned out that the war and hostility between the Seven-Star Civilization and the Myriad Demon Civilization had reached such a point.

It sounded like.

The Tianliang Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization, etc., were not the real threats to the civilization... the Myriad Demon Civilization was.

"Wait until you gradually become strong."

"Wait until you become Sky-Flying level, or even a demigod, then you can fear no wind or waves," Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan. "You now can only be said to have some self-preservation ability... but you are still far from truly traversing one side."

"The student will definitely work hard," Li Yuan said solemnly.

"Good."

"You've had a hard journey, rest here for a while. I have some things to do. When I return, we will return to Blue Star together," Fang Hai said.

"Yes."

... Watching Fang Hai leave the conference room, Li Yuan sat in the chair, silently activating his star pulses to adjust his breathing.

"It should be enough to show," Li Yuan thought to himself.

In the Inter-Realm, Li Yuan was thinking about a problem.

The strength revealed in this battle was too heaven-defying.

If there were demigods in the Seven-Star Civilization who must eye his secrets, what should he do?

Relying on his own strength, he couldn't block the prying of demigods.

Demigod Qinghe's questioning seemed like routine business, but it also increased Li Yuan's worry... If Fang Hai hadn't been there to obstruct, would Demigod Qinghe have asked to the end?

From past experience, the Seven-Star Civilization high echelon wouldn't be so short-sighted, and on the whole, it was relatively fair.

However, one must guard against others.

Therefore, in a very short time.

Li Yuan thought of three countermeasures.

First, if a demigod eyes him, it's nothing more than thinking he has a heavy treasure, so he would throw out a heavy treasure. This was the 'Deity Contemplation Method' Li Yuan took out.

Second, find a real backer in the Alliance.

Demigod Baishan? He could find him, but he wasn't hard enough! He might not be able to deter all demigods. To find one, he had to find the strongest, but he couldn't find Dongfang Ji... Li Yuan chose Fang Hai.

Fang Hai was Dongfang Ji's direct disciple, a Xia Nation citizen, and the Starfire Blue Star General Hall Master... From every aspect, he was absolutely the direct line of direct lines under Dongfang Ji.

His character also made Li Yuan quite trust him.

"I am also a member of the Starfire Martial Hall and a Xia Nation citizen," Li Yuan thought to himself. "And I am the Principal's student, so there is a teacher-student relationship... Should I gift the Principal a 'Deity Contemplation Method'?"

Seniors investing in juniors might not be thinking about the junior's feedback... but if the junior can remember the kindness and be grateful, the senior will definitely be extremely happy.

"The Principal's status is already comparable to a demigod, and I have become the Principal's direct line," Li Yuan thought to himself. "In essence, I have become the core echelon of the Starfire Martial Hall."

"Then, Senior Dongfang Ji... will be my biggest backer!" Li Yuan thought very thoroughly.

The third step is the most important first step—revealing talent.

Relying on the backer, the mountain will fall. The most powerful thing must be oneself... so Li Yuan showed his super talent to Fang Hai to prove his own value.

"Step by step."

"With the Principal already having a very good impression of me, I will highlight my own value," Li Yuan thought to himself. "If nothing unexpected happens, the Principal will quickly contact Senior Dongfang Ji."

"Give me... the best cultivation conditions in the entire civilization."

"My only problem is that revealing my talent is a bit too fast," Li Yuan muttered. "However, one must use strong medicine to treat a disease. If I don't shock the Principal at once, with his talent and strength, he might not value me so much."

In Li Yuan's view, Fang Hai was at least six star pulses, and it was possible he had awakened seven star pulses.

When Li Yuan was reviewing and pondering.

In a secret room on the highest floor of this war base, this was a secret room with a very high degree of confidentiality.

Countless rays of light converged, and a huge projection formed.

Fang Hai waited patiently. After a full few minutes, *hum~* the light screen trembled slightly.

A blurry figure appeared in the projection.

Fang Hai's eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly. "Master."

"Xiao Hai, enable encrypted communication, what's the matter?" The blurry figure's voice was gentle, echoing in this room.

"There is a major matter."

"The disciple is worried about being pried upon, so I enabled the highest level of encryption for the virtual network," Fang Hai said in a low voice.

"Speak," the blurry figure said. He knew his disciple's character.

"Li Yuan."

"It's the Li Yuan I mentioned to you last time," Fang Hai said. "He just returned from the Lieyu Star Realm. In the Inter-Realm, he..."

Fang Hai quickly told him about Li Yuan's general situation.

The blurry figure listened silently. As the number one powerhouse of the entire civilization, in the absolute sense, number one.

The enemies and opponents in his eyes were all terrifyingly powerful, and even deities of other civilizations.

Li Yuan? Although his performance was monstrous, in his eyes, it was only—very good.

Even when he heard about the 'Deity Contemplation Method', the blurry figure didn't show any reaction.

But!

When he heard Fang Hai say: "Li Yuan has already awakened a nine-fold star pulse, and has cultivated a supreme star technique to the first rank limit..."

"Nine-fold star pulse?" The blurry figure finally spoke. "Are you sure?"

"The disciple has personally checked and confirmed it is correct," Fang Hai said solemnly.

Fang Hai stopped talking. He knew his Master was deep in thought.

After a long while.

"Order him not to leak the news," the blurry voice said slowly. "Also, when he arrives at Mount Qixing, on the surface, give him a series of cultivation treasures according to the normal process... but secretly, starting from next month, provide him with the highest level of cultivation at Mount Qixing."

"In the few months before arriving at Mount Qixing, let him stay within your sight and protect him well."

"Everything as usual."

"I will arrange it well. You also let him cooperate well. Before he truly grows up, he must never leak his true star pulse talent... no demigod or Star Lord can know," the blurry voice said. "Understand?"

"Yes," Fang Hai said solemnly.

"Perhaps, our Seven-Star Civilization can give birth to another invincible demigod, or even... a deity," the blurry voice said.

Fang Hai also had a trace of expectation in his heart.

The talent Li Yuan revealed was indeed incredibly strong.

"How is your cultivation? Have you succeeded?" the blurry figure asked again.

"The Law Great Dao is difficult, and progress is very slow," Fang Hai said in a low voice. "I have disappointed you, Teacher."

"Very normal."

"The Law Great Dao is the essence of heaven and earth. It is extremely difficult for Sky-Flying level spiritual power to comprehend it... that you can master it is already a rare genius in the entire civilization," the blurry figure said slowly. "When I was at the Sky-Flying level, I wasn't as good as you."

"But when you were a demigod, Teacher, you truly stood at the peak of demigods," Fang Hai couldn't help but say.

"So, don't slack off, you have the potential to surpass me," the blurry figure said. "Wait patiently, the Myriad Cold Star Realm... calculating the time, it should be coming out soon."

"If you can succeed, you will truly have hope of breaking through the 'Seventh Leaf World'."

"The disciple doesn't dare to compare with you, Teacher, but the disciple will definitely do my best," Fang Hai said.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was a super powerhouse who commanded one side, and with one word, he could quickly gather dozens or hundreds of Sky-Flying Martial Artists... but in front of his teacher, he was always very respectful.

*Whoosh! *

Fang Hai stepped into the conference room again. His expression was quite indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

"Principal," Li Yuan looked at Fang Hai.

"Let's go, return to Blue Star," Fang Hai laughed.

"Yes."

The two quickly went downstairs. Not far from the war base was the airport.

"Which aircraft are we taking?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"No need to take an aircraft," Fang Hai revealed a smile. "True powerhouses all rely on their own flight."

"Let's go."

*Hum~*

An invisible force wrapped around Li Yuan. The strength of this force made it impossible for him to resist.

*Boom! * Fang Hai took Li Yuan and soared into the sky, his speed rapidly skyrocketing to several times the speed of sound.

Much faster than a normal aircraft.

"Sky-Flying Martial Artist!"

"It's a Sky-Flying Martial Artist, the instrument probe speed is 2642 meters/second!!" In the war base, martial artists responsible for probing the high-altitude area immediately discovered it.

"Approaching seven times the speed of sound?"

"Definitely a peak Sky-Flying Martial Artist!!"

"Pity we can't see who it is."

When Fang Hai took Li Yuan and flew directly to the 'Third Star Realm', the traffic hub of Flying Star and Blue Star.

In another great city of Flying Star, Demigod Qinghe had already returned to his station.

"No!"

"Something's wrong." Demigod Qinghe suddenly realized the problem. "If the Alliance Leader had really issued an order 'allowing Li Yuan not to answer', Sanye would definitely have told me."

"Even if it was issued later, Sanye would definitely have sent a message to me."

Demigod Sanye was another demigod with a very high status in the Starfire Martial Hall, and also the demigod Dongfang Ji trusted the most.

He was responsible for the routine affairs of the Starfire Martial Hall all year round.

Thinking of this.

"*Beep~*" Demigod Qinghe naturally had already found out the truth, and without hesitation, immediately dialed Demigod Sanye's communication.

Soon.

"Qinghe? Anything?" A gentle voice sounded.

"Sanye, I want to report Fang Hai," Demigod Qinghe's voice carried a trace of anger. "He dared to falsely claim the Alliance Leader's order to interfere with my normal questioning of Li Yuan."

"Li Yuan?" The gentle voice grasped the key point. "Is it that Li Yuan from Xia Nation? The one who just made a great contribution in the Lieyu Star Realm?"

"Yes, it's him." Demigod Qinghe was just about to continue: "He did make a great contribution, but he..."

"Demigod Qinghe."

"The Alliance Leader did indeed issue an order that from now on, regarding all matters concerning Li Yuan, your internal supervision department will no longer intervene," the gentle voice said. "It is not allowed to investigate further, and everything belongs to the direct management of Star Lord Fang Hai."

"What?" Demigod Qinghe was shocked. "When was the order issued?"

"Classified, cannot be disclosed."

Almost at the same time.

Gu Yue Divine Kingdom, Mintian City.

"Have you checked all the information on Li Yuan?" Mintian Hou's eyes were slightly red.

"Checked, it has been confirmed that Freya and Roman were indeed killed by the Seven-Star Civilization genius Li Yuan, but the specific means used are not yet confirmed," several people in charge lowered their heads, fearing to anger Mintian Hou.

In the past few days.

Mintian Hou was like a furious lion, and in his anger, he even seriously injured a close Sky-Flying Martial Artist with one move, and everyone in the entire office was in danger.

"Spread it! Spread it for me extensively!"

"Go!"

"Exaggerate his performance even more, pass it to the Myriad Demon Civilization, the Cloud Beast Civilization... pass it to all the hostile forces of the Seven-Star Civilization," Mintian Hou had endless hatred in his eyes. "Hurry up, I hope to receive news of his death as soon as possible."

"Yes." The several people in charge felt as if they had been granted amnesty and left quickly.

Only Mintian Hou remained standing in the empty conference room.

"Genius?"

"Peerless monster?" Mintian Hou's eyes revealed endless killing intent. "Daring to ruin my good deeds, should be killed! Should be killed!"

His character had always been to seek revenge for the slightest grievance.

As for whether Li Yuan would take revenge in the future? Mintian Hou never worried.

No matter how powerful, could he still kill his way to the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom?

Not long after.

The Myriad Demon Civilization, located in another dimensional plane, had already received news from the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom.

Several Sky-Flying Martial Artists of the Myriad Demon Civilization looked at the intelligence in their hands.

"Li Yuan?"

"What? A peerless genius who completely surpasses Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai? The number one genius in the history of the Seven-Star Civilization?"

"Destroyed two demigod-level geniuses in one move? Fake! Impossible!"

"Is it that the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom suffered too much loss and deliberately exaggerated it, wanting to use our hands to eliminate Li Yuan?" These Sky-Flying Martial Artists were so shrewd that they quickly noticed the parts of the intelligence that were not quite right.

It was too detailed.

Only a few days had passed, could the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom collect intelligence to this extent? It didn't make sense.

The probability of exaggeration was very high.

"But in any case, this Li Yuan's talent must be extremely high, probe him well."

"Collect his information."

"The Gu Yue Divine Kingdom definitely wants to borrow a knife to kill, but our Myriad Demon Civilization... was already going to kill the top geniuses of the Seven-Star Civilization."

"If there is an opportunity, we must kill him." These few Sky-Flying Martial Artists reported it quickly.

Finally, they received the order—kill!

The massive Myriad Demon Civilization also had very deep infiltration into the Seven-Star Civilization... However, for the powerful Myriad Demon Civilization, ordinary Source Martial Artist geniuses were not worth taking action to kill.

Only those with demigod-level talent were worth being vigilant about.

Of course.

Every assassination targeting a super genius often required a long time to prepare, and detailed intelligence had to be collected first.

Only half a day.

Li Yuan had already followed Fang Hai, crossed the Star Realm and the planet, and returned to the long-lost Blue Star.

Above Kunlun Martial University.

"Back again." Li Yuan overlooked the familiar yet slightly strange campus below.

In the past month, Li Yuan had changed too much and experienced too much.

"Next, until July, don't go out and roam for the time being," Fang Hai said. "Just stay in school and cultivate with peace of mind until you go to the Martial God Hall in July."

"Your authorization has been upgraded to the Sky-Flying level peak, and the Seven-Star Treasure Vault has been opened... If you miss your family, arrange for people from the Martial Hall to pick them up and bring them to school," Fang Hai instructed.

"I understand," Li Yuan nodded.

He knew what the Principal meant.

Safety! Everything for safety! There were too many people eyeing him now.

And his current strength, although it seemed much stronger than before... was actually more dangerous.

"Go," Fang Hai waved his hand. "If there's anything, send me a message directly."

On the way back, Li Yuan had also added the Principal's V-message.

*Hum~*

An invisible force quickly supported Li Yuan, flying down hundreds of meters and landing steadily on the grass on the ground.

"Truly amazing."

"Is this the threshold of the Law? Directly using the power of heaven and earth to support others in flight?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

High in the sky, Fang Hai's figure was no longer visible.

Suddenly.

"Holy crap, Brother Yuan, you're back?" An exclamation sounded, followed by the opening of the villa door not far away.

*Whoosh! * A delicate figure rushed out instantly, quite excitedly hugging Li Yuan.

It was Gu Qianghan.

"Brother Yuan, you came to see me as soon as you got back? Did you miss me?" Gu Qianghan looked excited.

"Isn't this my villa?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"No! This is my villa, look at the villa number," Gu Qianghan was also puzzled.

Li Yuan glanced at the villa number and immediately understood—Fang Hai had sent him to the wrong place.

... Li Yuan returned to Kunlun Martial University, which only caused small ripples in the Sixth Academy and didn't cause too much fluctuation.

Most people.

Would only think that during the time Li Yuan disappeared, he went to roam the Star Realm or received special training from the Starfire Martial Hall/school.

After all, winning the championship in the virtual battle, Li Yuan's talent was already beyond doubt, and he didn't need to care about the courses in school anymore.

The war in the Lieyu Star Realm? Perhaps it would spread in the future, but it wouldn't spread back to Blue Star in a short time.

... Inside the villa.

"Aunt, I just went out for special training for a period of time, so I couldn't be contacted," Li Yuan was talking to his family on the phone.

In the projection, the complexion of his uncle, Li Zhangzhou, was much better than before.

Li Zhangzhou had already taken the Dragon Spirit Heart Fruit, and after such a long time, his body had recovered, and his physical fitness had even reached level 10 again.

"Muhua signed a contract with the Martial Hall? A D-level contract?" Li Yuan also heard the news about his younger brother and couldn't help but smile. "Not bad."

Talking to his family, looking at the smiles on his uncle and aunt's faces, Li Yuan also smiled involuntarily.

His heart became increasingly quiet.

Roaming and fighting in the Star Realm, fighting with powerhouses from other realms... wasn't it all for this scene?

Returning to Kunlun Martial University, Li Yuan's life returned to tranquility.

Inside the villa.

"From now until July, when we gather to go to Flying Star."

"There are still three months," Li Yuan sat in the underground martial arts room, thinking silently. "Cultivation cannot be delayed, I have to re-formulate a cultivation plan."

"First, I must work hard to reach level 29 physical fitness as soon as possible!"

Suddenly.

"Li Yuan, I'll come to see you in ten minutes," a gentle voice sounded.

It was Fang Hai's voice.

"I've only been back for three days, and the Principal wants to see me again?" Li Yuan was stunned.
