Chapter 296

Li Yuan truly didn't feel it was difficult.

The pattern engraved on the left side of this stone wall indeed contained very mysterious Earth mystery fluctuations.

If it had been when he had just condensed the Earth true meaning, he would have had to spend one or two hours to replicate it successfully.

But over the past year, although Li Yuan had spent most of his energy comprehending the mysteries of Wind, his progress in Earth true meaning was actually greater... there was no help for it; his talent in the Earth lineage far exceeded that of the Wind lineage.

Li Yuan didn't feel it was difficult, but his words left Senior Gu You somewhat speechless.

Not difficult?

One must know that the difficulty of these trials was specifically set by Senior Gu You for Li Yuan. In her calculations, it shouldn't be difficult for Li Yuan to pass the first two barriers with some effort, but it shouldn't be this easy.

The third barrier? He shouldn't be able to pass it.

But based on Li Yuan's current situation, the first two barriers were simply effortless, so how could there be any difficulty in the third barrier?

"Little brother, how long have you been condensing Earth true meaning? Three months? Half a year?" Senior Gu You suddenly asked.

"One year." Li Yuan said.

Senior Gu You was stunned again; she asked herself if she had remembered correctly.

One year? That is to say, not long after leaving the World-within-a-World, Li Yuan quickly condensed Earth true meaning from a Fifth-Stage High-Tier skill?

What kind of cultivation speed is this?

"Sister?" Li Yuan also noticed the slight change in Senior Gu You's emotions.

His cultivation speed in the mysteries of Earth seemed to have far exceeded her expectations.

After a long while.

"What a little monster." Senior Gu You sighed suddenly, looking at Li Yuan with a rather complex gaze: "Little brother, you... are indeed a genius beyond imagination."

"In your civilization, you should already be the top genius."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

If only considering his current age, no one in the history of the entire Seven Stars civilization could compare to him.

Even Principal Fang Hai was far inferior to him at the age of 20.

"This Lieyu Star Realm only has contact with a few planes, and the entire Cave Heaven has only been open for a hundred years, with very few First Rank lifeforms coming to roam."

Senior Gu You said with some emotion: "If it were in the past, Father would have recruited direct disciples, and countless creatures from various planets would have swarmed over, wanting to apprentice... but with so few people, I actually managed to receive a genius like you."

"Luck!"

"It really is luck." Senior Gu You shook her head: "Even compared to the few disciples Father carefully cultivated back then, you are even more outstanding."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps, in the vast dimensional domain and many civilizations, there are Source Martial Artists whose strength is stronger than his own; after all, the world is vast, and it's hard to guarantee there aren't some peerless monsters.

But just in terms of cultivation speed, I'm afraid not many can catch up to him. There is the reason of comprehension, and also the help of many opportunities in the Heart Soul Divine Palace.

Like this time, Senior Gu You thought his talent was extremely high, but she probably didn't expect that there would be an incredible treasure like the 'Martial God Inheritance' in the Seven Stars civilization, which significantly boosted his growth speed over the past year.

Resonating with a deity's consciousness? This is a method that even the Gu Ju deity didn't leave behind.

"Okay."

"Since your talent is so monstrous, then I'll increase the difficulty for you." The girl suddenly smiled sweetly: "This third barrier is a combat assessment. I have set your opponent to be more powerful... I don't ask you to win, as long as you can hold on for one hundred seconds against them, it will count as your victory."

"One hundred seconds? Good!" Li Yuan nodded: "Sister, does that mean I passed the second barrier?"

"Naturally you passed, the guardian was already strengthened by me, but you actually defeated them directly." The girl didn't continue to pursue the topic, but took up the conversation: "You are naturally successful, and outstanding beyond reason."

"You are qualified to initially recognize the inheritance palace as your master. Follow me." The girl said.

Whoosh!

Senior Gu You flew toward the end of this palace hall.

Li Yuan hurriedly followed, with a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

Initially recognize the inheritance palace as master? According to what Senior Gu You said, once initially recognized, he will be able to carry the entire inheritance palace with him.

Not to mention anything else, just his life-saving ability will greatly increase.

The two quickly arrived in front of that seemingly inconspicuous yellowish jade platform.

"Little brother, as long as you refine it, it is equivalent to mastering the basic key to the inheritance palace." Senior Gu You pointed to the yellowish jade platform: "You will be able to barely manipulate it, enlarge or shrink the entire inheritance palace, and be able to take it away from the Star Realm."

"At that time, the treasures for passing the second trial will also be given to you directly."

"You will also be qualified to know about some hidden places in the inheritance palace and be able to enter them at any time." The girl looked at Li Yuan.

Know about some?

Li Yuan muttered secretly; it seems that even with initial recognition, he can't control the entire inheritance palace. Thinking about it, it's normal... according to the orders left by the Gu Ju deity, he is afraid he will have to become a deity to completely control the inheritance palace.

"Sit on it."

"Refining the inheritance palace's core is not easy. Usually, it requires a powerhouse among Flying Heaven martial artists." The girl reminded: "Your skill level is relatively extremely high among Source Martial Artists, but wanting to refine it... I estimate it will take a very long time."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan took a step across dozens of meters of void and sat down cross-legged on the yellowish jade platform gently.

As soon as he sat down.

Hum~ An invisible fluctuation swept over, just as if a person in the middle of climbing a mountain was extremely hot and irritable, and suddenly drank a sip of iced cola; his entire soul trembled, and that kind of refreshing feeling was simply indescribable.

Instantly, it made Li Yuan's heart become incomparably calm and clear, and all the previous distracting thoughts dissipated.

"This jade platform is definitely a rare treasure." Li Yuan secretly thought.

Hum~ Hum~

Accompanied by Li Yuan sitting down, a large number of strange secret patterns faintly appeared around the yellowish jade platform. These patterns flowed with wisps of brilliance on the surface, and the brilliance flowed, passing layer by layer, just as if water waves from all directions were crashing toward the island in the center.

"Boom!" Sitting on the jade platform, Li Yuan instantly felt his spirit tremble, followed by his consciousness being guided by invisible power... a large number of fluctuating images were transmitted.

Palaces, corridors... everything in the inheritance palace seemed to be reflected in his heart, and with it came unprecedented pressure, making Li Yuan's heart tremble.

If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid Li Yuan's heart will completely collapse under this kind of impact.

"Hold fast to your original heart."

"Now you only need to follow the sensing, focus on comprehending one of the fluctuations, ignore the others, and then imprint a mental mark on the main hall to complete the initial recognition." Senior Gu You's voice rang out at the right time: "Don't always think about taking a shortcut; your strength is not strong enough yet."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan immediately focused his mind, only focusing on refining one of the fluctuation mysteries. The fluctuation mysteries were extremely complex.

With Li Yuan's current realm and soul power, comprehending and refining them was also very slow.

Time passed.

In the void.

"Finally, the true recognition has begun." The girl in white looked at the young man sitting quietly on the jade platform.

She felt that she was losing a small amount of control over the inheritance palace.

But she felt no loss in her heart; instead, she felt some joy and excitement, and there was even a glimmer of tears in her eyes: "Father, it will definitely succeed! Hope has finally appeared!"

"Back then, you came from outside the domain and didn't succeed."

"Li Yuan is different. He is a local lifeform, and his talent is so high and terrifying. With my help, he will definitely succeed." The girl in white thought silently.

Back then.

The Gu Ju deity led many powerhouses under his command to descend, conquering many planes, and started a war with many deities to achieve his goals... he had long anticipated that this trip would be difficult and had left behind many backups.

Like the inheritance palace, it was just like that.

The True Phoenix deity, as one of the most trusted followers of the Gu Ju deity, also had extremely strong life-saving ability and was also one of the backups.

Everything was as the Gu Ju deity had anticipated...

Ten thousand years have passed, everything from back then has long since dissipated and turned to dust, and this vast and wide dimensional domain has already become peaceful.

"I thought the hope was incomparably slim."

"Unexpectedly!"

"Father, I actually managed to select a peerless genius here whose talent far exceeds yours." The girl said silently: "In the dark, I'm afraid even the heavens are helping us."

She waited patiently for Li Yuan to complete the recognition.

Days passed, while Li Yuan was in the World-within-a-World inheritance palace, constantly refining and attempting to leave a mental mark.

Flying Star, Starfire Martial Hall headquarters.

"There is a record of Li Yuan entering the Lieyu Star Realm, but no record of him entering the World-within-a-World?" Demigod Demigod Sanye, wearing a cold mask, received news from the Lieyu Star Realm.

"Now, Li Yuan's trail has been lost, and his communicator has completely cut off contact?"

"The stone room in the World-within-a-World, the stationed martial artists retreated for three days, and so far, no one has gone in again?" Demigod Demigod Sanye was secretly shocked.

Things were getting strange.

Without too much hesitation, Demigod Demigod Sanye immediately activated many secret means, trying to contact Li Yuan... but all to no avail.

"The Lieyu Star Realm is only a Tier-Two Star Realm, and those Flying Heaven martial artists stationed there are only ordinary Flying Heaven. With Li Yuan's strength, no one should be able to threaten him." Demigod Demigod Sanye secretly thought: "Besides, even if a Flying Heaven-level war broke out, Li Yuan shouldn't be without any power to resist."

"But there are no clues at all."

"Could it be that Li Yuan has another way to enter the World-within-a-World? And then entered some hidden place in the World-within-a-World and didn't go to the stone room for the time being?" Demigod Demigod Sanye made a reasonable guess.

In fact, her guess was already very close to the truth.

After pondering for a long time.

"In the Lieyu Star Realm and the World-within-a-World, try to contact Li Yuan 24 hours a day." Demigod Demigod Sanye gave the order: "In addition, the stone room remains vacant, and no one is allowed to enter."

"Yes."

August 16, 2045.

Mingxu Star Realm.

After more than a year of construction, the No. 3 outpost base that Li Yuan had visited had now expanded nearly a hundred times in scale, built like a medium-sized city.

There were not many residential areas, but a large number of factories were in operation, and countless unmanned flight vehicles were patrolling.

A large number of weapon towers stood tall, on high alert.

High-speed railways extended into the depths of the earth, with trains running through, bringing a large amount of mineral resources, and at the same time, a large number of martial artists and mechanical legions were constantly taking trains deep into the Star Realm.

Today.

Above the No. 3 base, inside a suspended super-large warship, the entire warship was over two hundred meters in diameter.

Inside a large conference room, many people were gathered here, each exuding an extraordinary aura.

If Li Yuan were here, he would definitely be able to recognize several figures at a glance: Wuma Nong, Yu Jinghe, An Yongya.

A large number of top geniuses from Seven Stars Mountain had already gathered in the Mingxu Star Realm.

"All preparations for the general offensive have been completed. All mechanical legions and martial artists are in place, and the air and space forces can be dispatched at any time..." A Flying Heaven martial artist wearing a red robe said softly: "Old Yu, shall we take action?"

"Prepare to start. We can arrive within two hours." Yu Jinghe said softly: "This battle will definitely be tragic, but leave the enemy's Flying Heaven-level combat power to us to solve."

After many major battles in the past year.

In field battles, the Seven Stars civilization had already gained an absolute advantage, and was now about to launch a general offensive against the 'Tianliang Civilization Base' two thousand kilometers away, striving to completely destroy it.

Once the base is destroyed and the entrance to the Star Realm is blocked, it will be difficult for the Tianliang civilization to counterattack and regain a foothold.

Although the Seven Stars civilization has four major bases in the Mingxu Star Realm, the Tianliang clan also controls two entrances and has built two major bases.

But having one destroyed means losing a strategic support point, and the situation will take a turn for the worse.

"According to our intelligence, there are still quite a few geniuses and Flying Heaven martial artists hidden in the Tianliang civilization base." The red-robed Flying Heaven martial artist couldn't help but say: "Perhaps even the Wan Mo civilization will send geniuses. Should we apply to the demigods above and ask Spirit Spear to come over for the general offensive?"

In an instant, the conference room fell silent.

Spirit Spear? Although they were all fighting in the Mingxu Star Realm, they also knew about the great battle that broke out in the Luo Bu Hai Star Realm.

The name Spirit Spear was simply deafening.

"Everyone, rest assured, I am not that kind of pedantic person, and I won't worry about Spirit Spear coming to steal so-called credit."

"It's just that I have long applied to the high-level demigods, hoping that Spirit Spear can come to participate in the war." Yu Jinghe shook his head and said: "But the demigod's reply is... Spirit Spear is currently undergoing important cultivation, and he won't come unless it's a last resort."

"Including Rudnev, he is also at a critical juncture in his cultivation."

Everyone nodded slightly.

After such a long time, they all admired Yu Jinghe very much; he was a truly selfless, leader-like figure.

"Beep~" The light screen projection in the distance suddenly flickered, followed by the appearance of a figure.
