Chapter 293

Consciousness descended.

"This Thousand Illusions Array Chart is truly profound enough." Li Yuan's consciousness descended into the token and began to sense it carefully.

This sensing and comprehension.

It was more careful than it was in front of Dongfang Ji not long ago, and it also allowed Li Yuan to understand it more deeply.

"Ripples of Wind, seemingly formless, are all scattered, but in reality, they are from the same source," Li Yuan realized in his heart.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Li Yuan's consciousness wandered in the maze-like array chart.

He saw endless wild winds howling, blowing on Li Yuan's consciousness body, and also completely presenting the contained Profound Meaning of Wind before Li Yuan.

"The Law of Wind has many paths to take," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Those who are good at extreme speed, when cultivated to a deep level, can almost merge into space, finding the Wind ripples that best fit themselves, and their speed is unrivaled in the world... almost no one can catch up."

"Those who are good at stealth..."

"Those who are good at illusion bodies, when cultivated to a deep level, reflect in all directions and are almost everywhere," Li Yuan thought to himself. "What I am comprehending and walking is the Illusion Body lineage."

Every law avenue is all-encompassing and contains infinite possibilities.

Every powerhouse mostly tries to walk in one of the directions, and after comprehending to a deep level, gradually tries to comprehend other directions... and even one day, fully comprehends an entire law avenue.

"Avenue cultivation is extremely difficult."

"Crossing the threshold of the law gives hope of becoming a god," Li Yuan shook his head slightly. "I haven't even truly condensed the Intent of Wind yet... Fully comprehending an entire law avenue? Too far, too far."

Calm down.

With undivided attention, Li Yuan seriously comprehended and pondered, while combining the divine memories from the first Martial God inheritance, verifying them with each other.

... Two full days later.

"Thousand Illusions!"

"This Thousand Illusions Array Chart contains a full thousand Wind ripples," Li Yuan had initially broken through the token's mysteries. "These thousand mystery ripples, hooking and combining with each other, are like a huge battle array formed by a thousand illusion bodies."

When he realized this point, Li Yuan was incredibly shocked in his heart.

He immediately realized.

If he could fully comprehend the Thousand Illusions Array Chart, he was afraid that he could form a thousand illusion bodies in a single thought.

Just thinking about it, Li Yuan exclaimed in shock.

You must know, this kind of illusion body is not that kind of virtual projection, but a true 'illusion body' that draws on Wind ripples and reflects in all directions, all containing a certain strength.

Attacking overwhelmingly.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

"According to Senior Dongfang Ji's meaning, if I can reach this level at the Sky-Flying level, it counts as success?" Li Yuan thought to himself. "That's right, I can only condense four illusion bodies now; the gap is too big."

Li Yuan was not discouraged.

A ten-thousand-story building rises from the ground; let's take it step by step.

"These Wind mysteries are actually combined like this."

"Oh! It can actually be displayed like this..."

"So that's how it is." Li Yuan was immersed in it, trying his best to comprehend.

Constantly deducing and comprehending the Profound Meaning of Wind will also make one tired.

Therefore, for half the time, Li Yuan would also choose to comprehend the ripples of the Profound Meaning of Earth.

At the same time, he would practice the spear for two hours every day, trying to further combine the two great intents of Earth and Wind.

Cultivation is very regular.

As for Source Power cultivation? Li Yuan's physical fitness had long reached level 29.9, and his physical fitness had long reached the top... Without trying to condense a Source Core in the Source Power Sea, it was almost impossible for his physical fitness to improve further.

Of course, Li Yuan would still cultivate the "Contemplation Method" every day. Although the improvement of his spiritual power level was slow, it was still steadily approaching level 37.

Every two or three days, he would also continue to try to awaken more life stars.

"The number of life stars awakened in the second star pulse has exceeded 76,000," Li Yuan felt quite expectant in his heart. "It's not far from awakening the seventh-layer star pulse."

A star pulse, with the number of life stars awakened reaching 77,760, is a seventh-layer star pulse.

Then he can try to cultivate the "Earth God Body".

At that time, it will naturally be able to make Li Yuan's strength soar by a large margin again.

In a blink of an eye, it was July 18th. Li Yuan jumped down from Martial God Mountain and came to the Martial God Hall standing on the central earth.

In fact, Li Yuan applied for the "Martial God inheritance" a few days ago, but the daily quota was limited, and July was the peak period for Martial God Hall members to receive inheritance.

So, he could only wait in line, and waited until today.

A towering and ancient palace.

The hall opened, and Li Yuan saw the divine pillar in the palace at a glance, and familiarly came to the end of the divine hall.

"First-class Martial God inheritance recipient Li Yuan," a gentle voice sounded in Li Yuan's mind. "Don't resist, follow the sensing, and display your spear technique as much as possible..."

Whoosh!

An invisible ripple swept past, just like last year, Li Yuan started to display his spear technique with the Black Star Spear, the spear light flashing brilliantly.

At the same time.

When the power of the spear technique erupted, hum~ hum~ silently, ripples of invisible Earth air were born, followed by illusion bodies appearing one after another.

At first glance, it was as if in a powerful domain, many Li Yuans were displaying spear techniques in the palace at the same time.

Very strange.

A long time passed.

"Good at spear technique, combining Earth Intent and Wind Intent... Good at domain, illusion body... Extremely high talent," a cold voice sounded in Li Yuan's mind. "Search range for divine inheritance expanded."

"Inheritance locked."

"Mark sensing target, unknown fifth-order god, good at blade technique, good at Earth domain, Wind illusion body, cultivating two laws..."

"Inheritance begins."

Whoosh!

A light spot suddenly fell from the sky of the divine hall, flying directly onto Li Yuan's forehead.

"Boom!"

Li Yuan's consciousness was guided, and he immediately sank, followed by becoming completely obsessed.

Two hours later, Li Yuan returned to his villa mansion.

Underground martial arts room.

"Truly magical."

"The two great mysteries of Earth and Wind are actually combined like this, and can actually form such a domain illusion body. Truly profound." Li Yuan was excited in his heart.

Even though the inheritance had ended, he was still filled with shock.

The second Martial God inheritance was much better than the first... by too much.

Although the god resonated with this time did not use spear technique, for Li Yuan at this level, the weapon was not the main thing; he mainly sensed the mysteries within.

Except for the weapon not being compatible, other aspects were much better than the first time.

"During the first Martial God inheritance, I hadn't condensed the Earth Intent, and the Wind mystery hadn't even entered the door. No matter how clear the sensing was, it was very difficult to comprehend," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But this time?"

Consciousness resonance and divine inheritance cannot directly improve the inheritance recipient's skill level or comprehension.

One must have enough deep comprehension and enough confusion to exert the maximum effect.

And over the past year of cultivation, Li Yuan had made great progress in the Earth lineage and the Wind lineage.

Great progress often means more confusion.

Especially the Wind lineage; since condensing the rudiment of intent, Li Yuan had always wanted to truly condense the intent and cross the threshold of the sixth stage... but he couldn't break through.

"My talent in the Wind lineage is not bad, but it can't be compared with the Earth lineage at all," Li Yuan knew this very clearly in his heart. "In the Earth lineage, it took a few months from fifth-stage high-level skill to condensing intent, and at the very beginning, there was no divine liquid assistance, and spiritual power wasn't that strong."

"Under normal circumstances, like Bateman, it took more than a year from intent rudiment to condensing intent, which is already very rare." Li Yuan thought to himself. "Under normal circumstances, it would take me at least half a year to have hope of condensing intent."

Skill cultivation has the saying of sudden enlightenment.

But the so-called sudden enlightenment has the premise of day-after-day accumulation; only with thick accumulation can one thin out.

"And now."

"With the Thousand Illusions Array Chart."

"And this Martial God inheritance guidance, the two combined," Li Yuan was incredibly happy. "My speed of comprehending Wind ripples will be much faster."

For the next skill cultivation, Li Yuan became clearer and clearer about what he should do.

"Closed-door cultivation!"

"For the next period of time, unless the Mingxu Star Realm breaks out in a great war and the Mountain Master summons me, I won't see anyone," Li Yuan suddenly said loudly.

"Yes, Master," the auxiliary intelligence said respectfully.

Li Yuan started a new round of closed-door cultivation, trying to condense the Wind Intent in one fell swoop.

At least, he had to take advantage of the fact that the Martial God inheritance had just ended to maximize his cultivation efficiency.

Martial God Star Realm.

In the only restaurant.

A large group of Martial God Hall geniuses gathered here.

"Damn! Li Yuan still can't be reached?" Tantai Feng looked at the reminder on his smart ring. "The newcomers from Blue Star this year, can't even spare a day?"

Many Martial God Hall geniuses invited by Tantai Feng today came, Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Hamon, Yin Man, Nevsky, Yin He, and others all came... Perhaps when they first entered the Martial God Star Realm, they were a bit unfamiliar with each other.

But as time passed.

Many geniuses would also huddle together, all from Blue Star, and with the "friendship of the same year," their relationship was generally getting better and better.

"This guy doesn't come, and Lin Lanyue and Alicia don't come either," Tantai Feng felt a headache. "Hey, they are all cultivation maniacs."

"Are you saying that as if you don't cultivate hard?" Tian Dazhuang glanced at him. "Didn't I fail to reach you when I contacted you a few months ago?"

"Dazhuang, don't always tear me down," Tantai Feng glared.

Suddenly.

"Senior Brother Yan Jing is here."

"Yan Jing." The group of geniuses present stood up one after another, welcoming Yan Jing who had just arrived.

Perhaps, many of them had talent no less than Yan Jing, for example, Tantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang were both choices of the time. Although they were young, their skills had reached the fifth-stage high level.

But!

Talent without exchange is just talent... And Yan Jing was truly powerful.

Mount Qixing top genius, Source Warrior of Intent, enough to make anyone look sideways.

"Everyone sit down," Yan Jing said with a smile. He knew Tantai Feng's strength background.

Since the other party invited him, he would naturally come.

In Yan Jing's cultivation plan, he would return to the Xia Nation to take office in the future, so he naturally had to have a good relationship with this group of "Hall friends."

Time passed, and the banquet gradually came to an end.

"Senior Brother Yan," one person said casually. "I heard that the great battle in the Luo Bu Sea not long ago, the one where Spirit Spear broke through the brood nest beast den, you participated?"

Yan Jing, who was still a bit relaxed, instantly tightened in his heart. He remained calm on the surface and smiled: "Trick, you are a newcomer who just joined the Martial God Hall this year, where did you get the news?"

The original intention of this banquet was to welcome the nine young geniuses who arrived from Blue Star this year.

"I heard it," Trick, who had blond hair, said with a smile.

"I did participate," Yan Jing said with a smile.

"Oh?" Trick's eyes lit up, seemingly curious: "Senior Brother Yan, then do you know Spirit Spear? Who is he?"

"Spirit Spear?"

"Luo Bu Sea battle, Senior Brother Yan, you also participated?"

"Really amazing!"

"Yeah, who exactly is Spirit Spear?" The group of people who were chatting casually looked at Yan Jing curiously one after another.

"I don't know."

"I was responsible for another battlefield at the time and didn't see Spirit Spear at all," Yan Jing shook his head. "But I heard from other Sky-Flying warriors that Spirit Spear seems to be very old and has been pursuing awakening more star pulses, so he hasn't broken through."

One part truth, nine parts false.

This was some of the rhetoric Yan Jing had planned when he received the confidentiality order earlier.

After the banquet ended, everyone dispersed, while Yan Jing deliberately walked at the end.

Watching Trick leave.

"This guy, did he really just ask casually, or is he deliberately testing me?" Yan Jing frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The order had been issued from above long ago.

Their operation list in the Luo Bu Sea was confidential, and ordinary people didn't know it.

Even people with backgrounds like Tantai Feng didn't know.

Trick, a newcomer who just joined the Martial God Star Realm, how did he know?

"Report it."

"If he just knew it unintentionally, it won't affect him," Yan Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. "But what if he is a spy?"

Yan Jing cared very much about Li Yuan's safety.

For one thing, in that battle in the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm, Li Yuan turned back to face the enemy alone, which moved Yan Jing quite a bit. In a sense, this was a life-saving favor.

For another, from the moment he fully recognized Li Yuan's talent and strength, he had figured out one thing: if he wanted to stand firm in the high echelons of the Starfire Martial Hall and the Xia Nation in the future, then Li Yuan would likely be his biggest backer.

Like other demigods? There were no relationships that close.

Not long after.

"Thoroughly re-investigate Trick," an order came down from the high echelons of the Starfire Martial Hall. "Check all his relationship networks, family member information, and re-examine all his traces on the virtual network over the past ten years."

"Monitor him secretly 24 hours a day in the Martial God Star Realm."

Such investigation intensity required mobilizing a large amount of resources and the joint efforts of many departments to push forward.

Under normal circumstances, like targeting Martial God Hall members, many reviews would be conducted before they entered the Martial God Star Realm.

But it was extremely rare to conduct all-around 24-hour monitoring after they entered the Martial God Star Realm.

After all, once such a thing is leaked, it will cause great dissatisfaction and resentment among all Martial God Hall geniuses.

If you are a person, you will have secrets.

If you are a person, you will have privacy needs.

No one wants their life to be monitored 24 hours a day.

That is treating them like criminals.

But the matter involved 'Spirit Spear', and even involved the greatest genius in the history of the Seven Star civilization behind the scenes, so from top to bottom, no one dared to be careless.

Only three days later.

"Trick is fine."

"It's his university teacher, a top Source Warrior, who is a spy! He is secretly trading with the Tianliang civilization... Arrest him immediately."

"He used Trick's identity as a Martial God Hall member to try to figure out Spirit Spear's true identity information and whereabouts." With a large amount of resources used and all-around monitoring, traces were finally found.

And this!

Was just the tip of the iceberg of alien races probing 'Spirit Spear's' true identity and whereabouts, and only a few were caught.

More probing actions were lurking and had never been exposed.

Mount Qixing.

Days passed one by one.

Li Yuan didn't know about the disturbances outside; he had been in closed-door cultivation, wholeheartedly comprehending the Profound Meaning of Wind and the Profound Meaning of Earth.

Whether it was the Earth lineage or the Wind lineage, Li Yuan was steadily improving, and he was getting closer and closer to breaking through the bottleneck.

Contemplation method, life star awakening... were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

This is the magic of time.

Li Yuan didn't have another sudden enlightenment.

But just by relying on time to grind, his overall strength was also constantly improving. The improvement was slow, but it was extremely stable.

In a blink of an eye, it was August 2nd.

This day.

After finishing two hours of spear technique practice, Li Yuan started awakening life stars again.

Inside Li Yuan's body.

That vast, broad, and rather dim life star space.

"Swish~" Li Yuan's spiritual power differentiated, turning into thoughts along the invisible ripples between star pulses, sensing one star after another, and constantly trying to awaken them.

Very slow, and occasionally failing!

Unawakened life stars are ultimately a minority, and most are dormant dead stars. Every time he fails, it will cause damage to his body and spirit, so Li Yuan is very cautious.

Suddenly—

Another life star awakened. The moment it awakened, it immediately produced a vague connection with another life star not far away.

Hum~ hum~ life stars connected to each other, and in the blink of an eye, this invisible ripple had crossed more than half of the life star space.

It caused that rather brilliant star pulse to shake violently, followed by a transformation of this star pulse, becoming increasingly dazzling.

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan was stunned at first, followed by bursts of joy: "Seventh-layer star pulse!!"

"Reached it." Li Yuan felt a sense of achievement in his heart.

The first star pulse was a perfect star pulse, which relied on the first spiritual guidance of the Heart Spirit Palace. Li Yuan's own role was very small, and he was passive.

And the subsequent four star pulses were all awakened by Li Yuan himself.

The second star pulse reaching the "seventh-layer star pulse" level was truly a great joy.

Fifth-layer star pulse, seventh-layer star pulse, were all very critical.

When he first awakened to the fifth-layer star pulse, he cultivated Star Arts, which greatly increased Li Yuan's strength, and he easily solved the so-called demigod-level genius who descended from the Xianxu civilization in the world within a world.

"Seventh-layer star pulse, then I can start cultivating the 'Earth God Body'," Li Yuan felt a hint of expectation in his heart.

"Starry Sky Profound Body" was only a fifth-layer Star Art, but it allowed Li Yuan to roam among Source Warriors and be enough to contend with ordinary Sky-Flying warriors.

"Earth God Body" was a seventh-layer Star Art.

"Alliance Leader Dongfang Ji is invincible among demigods, and the Star Art he cultivates that is most famous is the 'Ten Thousand Gold God Body'," Li Yuan thought to himself. "'Ten Thousand Gold God Body' is equivalent to the 'Earth God Body'."

From this, one can imagine the strength of this Star Art; even among demigods, it belongs to a very powerful Star Art.

At the Source Warrior and Sky-Flying warrior stages, it is definitely a dimensionality reduction strike, the most top-tier kind.

"The battle in the Mingxu Star Realm is imminent," Li Yuan had already read the information on the Mingxu Star Realm and knew very clearly what it contained.

Even if the top geniuses of the Wan Mo civilization didn't come, he would sooner or later have to rush there.

If it was just a skill breakthrough, even if he condensed the Wind Intent and Earth Intent to the sixth-stage mid-level... Li Yuan didn't have much confidence in fighting the local peak Sky-Flying beasts of the Mingxu Star Realm.

The basic gap was too large.

"Cultivate 'Earth God Body'. Once displayed, it will be able to make my basic strength soar, enough to truly rival a level 30 or even level 31 Sky-Flying Realm in the Star Art state," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Only then will there be hope of circling around with peak Sky-Flying powerhouses."

Skill is important.

But basic strength is also important.

Temporarily give up cultivation in other areas.

"Let's start!"

Li Yuan waved his hand, and items emitting strange ripples floated around him, including Five Elements Divine Crystals, as well as many Tier-Three treasures and Tier-Four treasures.

Strange and varied, all kinds of treasures.

"Back then, helping the World Spirit, it prepared Five Elements Divine Crystal treasures for me to cultivate the 'Earth God Body' to the Tier-Two limit. These are the main treasures," Li Yuan thought to himself. "I spent 8,600 points in the Seven Star Treasury to buy the rest of the treasures... so I don't need to go and collect them."

The more powerful the Star Art, the harder it is to cultivate.

Especially body-refining Star Arts, which are all-around evolutions for the body, have always been the most difficult to cultivate among Star Arts of the same level, and the requirements have always been the most demanding.

"Clatter~"

Li Yuan's mind moved, and the power of intent combined with spiritual power, quickly according to the cultivation tips of the "Earth God Body", began to absorb the essence of the strange treasures around him.

If it were some people whose skills were not high enough, cultivating this kind of powerful Star Art at the Source Warrior stage might require the help of Sky-Flying warriors.

But Li Yuan didn't need it; his realm was high enough.

Not long after.

Clatter~ A large number of strange treasures surrounded Li Yuan, and strands of essence gradually began to merge into Li Yuan's body, causing his body to undergo many wonderful changes.

Hum~ hum~ hum~

The seventh-layer star pulse in Li Yuan's body suddenly became incomparably brilliant, and the sensing became incomparably clear, and even because of absorbing many strange energies, tens of thousands of life stars became active.

"Can't delay!"

Li Yuan calmed his mind and began to engrave the first-layer star marks of the "Earth God Body" on this star pulse.

Relatively easily, the star marks on one life star after another began to be re-imprinted.

Rather than re-imprinting, it is better to say 'adding'.

A normal star pulse, if you want to cultivate a new Star Art, you must first wash away all the star marks on the star pulse and restore the origin... incomparably painful.

But like "Starry Sky Profound Body", "Earth God Body", and "Myriad Things God Body", which are all in the same line, the star marks become increasingly complex on the original basis, and the power gradually becomes stronger.

Therefore, in a sense, first cultivating "Starry Sky Profound Body" is reducing the difficulty of Li Yuan cultivating "Earth God Body".

"Clatter~"

Time passed, accompanied by the changes in the star marks of one life star after another.

Li Yuan's body produced many subtle changes, which is the improvement of life essence... constantly absorbing the essence of many strange treasures from the outside.

"Normal cultivation, reaching level 29.9, physical fitness cannot be improved further."

"But through Star Art cultivation, it can make physical fitness further leap, getting closer and closer to Sky-Flying warriors," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Level 29.9 and level 30 are a world of difference, with a huge gap in physical foundation.

Even with the foundation of "Starry Sky Profound Body", even with many treasures and strange things prepared.

Even if the skills and spiritual power were high enough.

But Li Yuan also spent nine full days before finally cultivating the "Earth God Body" to the Tier-Two limit.

"'Earth God Body', Tier-Two limit, is a level 14 Star Art," Li Yuan scanned the God Palace panel, feeling the surging power in his body.

Boom! Boom!

Without displaying the Star Art, a casual punch had a force of millions of catties, causing the air to explode.

Once the Star Art is displayed, truly revealing the God Body... that is a sharp weapon that can truly kill across levels.

"My physical fitness has gone a step further."

"I don't know if I can cultivate 'Earth Star Pulse True Explanation' now," this thought suddenly flashed in Li Yuan's mind.
