Chapter 298: Treasure Bestowal

Only after initially refining the Inheritance Hall did Li Yuan truly feel the miraculous nature of the place, and he could vaguely sense every location within the divine hall.

Of course, there were many places that remained very blurry in Li Yuan's perception; he simply could not sense them clearly.

It was very clear that what he controlled now was merely the tip of the iceberg of the entire Inheritance Hall.

"I have refined the main hall's hub, so I can barely sense the entire Inheritance Hall," Li Yuan thought to himself. "But what if I want to activate it?"

Li Yuan drew upon the origin of the Inheritance Hall and tried to activate it slightly, only to feel as if he were trying to lift a towering mountain—it was incredibly strenuous!

He simply could not activate it.

"Do not attempt to activate it."

Senior Gu You's voice, sounding like heavenly music, came from the side: "You have only initially refined the core and do not yet understand its mysteries. The entire Inheritance Hall is an extremely powerful divine artifact... If you want to truly utilize the entire Inheritance Hall, perhaps you will have a glimmer of hope once you become a demigod."

"A divine artifact? And an extremely powerful one at that?" Li Yuan opened his eyes, a trace of shock in his pupils.

A divine artifact!

Li Yuan naturally knew that, as the name implied, it was a weapon used by gods.

It was only because Alliance Master Dongfang Ji had said he could "obtain a divine artifact spear at any time" that Li Yuan had been so shocked.

Every divine artifact possessed immense power, but the difficulty of using them was also extremely high.

Listening to Senior Gu You, this Inheritance Hall was among the most powerful of divine artifacts.

"Sister," Li Yuan stood up.

He took a step and arrived beside Senior Gu You.

"Since it is a divine artifact, how was I able to refine it?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Li Yuan currently couldn't even refine many semi-divine artifacts.

"This was deliberately set up by Father when he first forged the Inheritance Hall. You have only initially refined it; I am the one doing most of the maneuvering," Senior Gu You smiled. "As time passes, once you successively pass the next three trials, your degree of control over the Inheritance Hall will naturally strengthen until you have perfect control."

"Like now, you are the master of the Inheritance Hall in name, but you cannot even sense my existence."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod; it wasn't just that he couldn't sense Senior Gu You.

Like Number One, Number Two, and Number Three, who had fought him earlier, he couldn't sense where they were either.

"Very well."

"Since you have initially refined the Inheritance Hall, it is time to give you your second treasure bestowal," the young girl said. "At the same time, I will introduce you to the many miraculous uses of the Inheritance Hall."

"First is the hall we are currently in, named the 'Hundred Battles Room,' primarily for the arena below," the young girl pointed downward. "It is named the 'Hundred Battles Arena.'"

Li Yuan couldn't help but look.

"You already experienced it when you underwent the trials a few days ago," Senior Gu You smiled. "Now, if you try to enter again, you can choose your opponents at will, set their strength, or engage in group battles or sieges—all are possible."

"You can set up to one hundred opponents."

"For each opponent, the strongest you can set them to is Level 36, with their skill at the Perfection of True Intent," Senior Gu You said. "It is equivalent to a practical combat training ground."

"Those opponents are all controlled by someone similar to Number One."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up; as soon as he heard this, he felt the power of the Hundred Battles Arena.

Like at Mount Qixing, the practical combat training robots had limited strength, and there was only one, so its effect on him was already very small. Previously, while training at Mount Qixing, he had rarely used the practical combat training robots.

Compared to that, this Hundred Battles Arena was far too powerful.

It would allow him to fully exert himself and try out many techniques.

"That jade platform is both the control hub and is also called the Meditation Platform; it can allow your mind to quickly calm down when you are agitated," Senior Gu You said. "To a certain extent, it can assist in comprehending the Dao."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Over the past few days, he had already felt the power of the jade platform.

"Follow me."

Senior Gu You turned and flew out of the Hundred Battles Chamber, and Li Yuan hurriedly followed; the two walked through the massive corridor.

They arrived outside another dust-sealed hall, the great doors slowly opening to reveal a bright interior.

Whoosh!

A wave of dense Divine Crystal Qi rushed toward them, making Li Yuan feel a sense of refreshment in both body and mind.

Such dense Divine Crystal energy.

"This is?" Li Yuan held his breath.

"This is the 'Divine Crystal Chamber'," Senior Gu You said softly. "Essentially, it is an upgraded version of the 'Stone Chamber' deep within the mineral vein of the Cave Heaven."

Li Yuan listened, lost in thought.

"So-called Divine Crystal energy is, in itself, a more advanced and powerful form of Yuan Force," Senior Gu You said. "Therefore, when a large amount of Divine Crystal gathers, it can gradually expand to form a large-scale Yuan Stone mineral vein... Just like the gods, who refine cosmic Yuan Force to form Divine Yuan Force within their bodies, which can then be directly converted into Divine Crystals."

"In that vast world where Father and the others resided, Divine Crystals were a form of universal currency."

"They have many uses; mortal lifeforms can use them for cultivating Star Arts, Yuan Force cultivation, recovering from injuries, and so on."

"Powering certain formidable Yuan Force weapons, high-level cosmic warships, powerful puppets, and the like—all are driven by Divine Crystals. They are the hard currency of the Dimensional River."

Li Yuan suddenly understood, his perception of Divine Crystals becoming much clearer.

"The Inheritance Hall is engraved with a powerful Yuan Force array that can slowly absorb external Yuan Force and store it in the energy storage chamber. Having remained in the Lieyu Star Realm for a long time, the passage of long years has caused the storage chamber to reach its limit," Senior Gu You said. "And the Divine Crystal Chamber is connected to that storage chamber."

"In the future, once you step into the Flying Heaven rank."

"If you want to accelerate the improvement of your physical fitness, or for daily Star Art cultivation, you can come to the 'Divine Crystal Chamber'; it is equivalent to a free supply of Five Elements Divine Crystals," Senior Gu You smiled. "However, the cultivation efficiency is still much lower than using Divine Crystals directly."

Li Yuan held his breath.

Too extravagant!

How precious are Five Elements Divine Crystals? Within the Seven Stars Civilization, they must be exchanged for with a large number of Seven Stars points.

But in this Inheritance Hall, it was completely free.

"Sister, if I use it like this, the energy in the storage chamber will be exhausted, right?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Naturally," Senior Gu You nodded. "In the past, Father would consume a massive amount of Divine Power to inject it, directly bringing the Inheritance Hall's storage chamber to its limit. The Inheritance Hall's own absorption of Yuan Force is actually very slow... but you are too weak."

Too weak? Li Yuan was stunned.

"The little bit you consume doesn't count for much," Senior Gu You shook her head. "It should be enough for you to use slowly until you step into the Demigod rank."

"Understood." Li Yuan felt at ease.

Demigod rank? That was still very far off.

He was only at level 29.9, and predictably, it would likely take many more years before he stepped into the Demigod rank.

"For you, the Inheritance Hall currently has only these few main uses," Senior Gu You said. "As for auxiliary cultivation treasures and the like... I gave them to you last time."

"Of course, the greatest use of the entire Inheritance Hall is for self-preservation."

"You carry it with you, and as long as you spend a little time, you can enter the Inheritance Hall in a single thought," Senior Gu You said slowly. "The Inheritance Hall is indestructible; even a Demigod powerhouse cannot forcibly destroy it."

"However, no matter how fast you enter the Inheritance Hall, it still takes some time... If you encounter a surprise attack, you won't be able to react in time," Senior Gu You said.

"Secondly, once your true body returns to the Inheritance Hall, the Inheritance Hall will be exposed to the outside world. Although the Inheritance Hall can transform into a speck of dust, a Demigod powerhouse, upon careful investigation... can sense the existence of the Inheritance Hall."

"Therefore, even with the Inheritance Hall, do not think you are invincible. You must still be careful; it is best if the Inheritance Hall is never exposed."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

Carrying the Inheritance Hall with him only increased his ability to survive, not his invincibility.

"Additionally, little brother, if you enter those Outer Dimensional Star Realms, the Inheritance Hall will not follow you inside," the young girl looked at Li Yuan and said solemnly. "This is the order left by Father."

Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned.

Outer Dimensional Star Realms?

"Star Realms are divided into two categories."

"One type is the Inner Dimensional Star Realm, which is born within a dimensional plane; it is fine for it to follow you inside," the young girl said.

"Outer Dimensional Star Realms are born from the collision of different dimensional planes and are protected by the operation of rules... If it follows you inside, once you die, the Inheritance Hall will be directly suppressed by the Star Realm's origin and trapped once again," the young girl said.

Li Yuan understood.

The Lieyu Star Realm belonged to the 'Outer Dimensional Star Realm', and the Inheritance Hall had been trapped here all along... until he became the successor, there was no hope of escape.

Having finally escaped, Senior Gu You naturally did not want to be trapped in one again.

If it were not trapped in a Star Realm, once he died.

Senior Gu You would have no constraints and could fully manipulate the Inheritance Hall to search for a suitable successor among countless lifeforms.

Before long, the two passed through the corridor and returned to the main hall.

"Little brother, I have already told you all the uses of the Inheritance Hall," Senior Gu You said. "Next, I will gift you some treasures."

Whoosh!

The young girl waved her hand gently, and suddenly a large number of items hung in mid-air, emitting countless rays of spiritual light, making Li Yuan's eyes light up.

"So many Divine Crystals?" Li Yuan held his breath.

Most eye-catching was that small pile of Earth Divine Crystals.

"First is a storage treasure." Senior Gu You flicked her fingertip, and a wisp of fine silver light flew before Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's heart stirred, and his spiritual sense enveloped this storage treasure; it was ownerless, without any mental imprint.

Sensing it slightly, Li Yuan was shocked: "So big!"

"This storage magic treasure is ten meters in length, width, and height; it can be considered a Demigod-level storage magic treasure," Senior Gu You said softly. "Within your Seven Stars Civilization, it should be considered top-tier, convenient for your daily needs."

Demigod-level?

Li Yuan sighed inwardly; storage treasures of this level were simply not for sale within the Seven Stars Civilization.

At the very least, he had never seen one.

"Next are these Earth Divine Crystals, two 'fang' in total," Senior Gu You pointed to the mountain-like pile of Divine Crystals. "They are for your convenience when trading with other factions or powerhouses to exchange for other needed treasures."

"Adding these Divine Crystals together, there is hope of exchanging for a pseudo-divine artifact," the young girl said indifferently, as if she didn't care at all.

Li Yuan, however, was completely breathless.

Divine Crystals, calculated by 'fang'?

He knew that he usually used them calculated by 'pieces'.

In the Seven Stars Treasury, if one wanted to exchange for one 'fang' of Divine Crystals, it would cost approximately 100,000 Seven Stars points.

These two 'fang' of Earth Divine Crystals were equivalent to 200,000 Seven Stars points.

Moreover, as far as Li Yuan knew, in the Seven Stars Treasury, whether one was Flying Heaven rank or Demigod, there was an upper limit to the Divine Crystals one could exchange for... they wouldn't let you exchange for more.

One must know, a normal Demigod artifact was only worth 10,000 Seven Stars points.

"Finally, a set of Demigod-level armor," Senior Gu You waved her hand again.

In the void, a lifelike set of black armor suddenly appeared, including a helmet, battle armor, bracers, battle boots, and so on—everything was there, and the entire set of armor emitted an invisible pressure.

Li Yuan even felt a faint pressure.

He could feel that this set of armor should be different from normal Demigod-level armor.

"This set of Demigod-level battle armor, and the spear I gave you last time, are actually the same set, both specially refined by Father," the young girl said softly. "Normal Demigod-level weapons cannot be used by Yuan Warriors; one must at least be at the peak of the Flying Heaven rank."

"It must be specially refined so that you can exert a portion of its power... Its protective effect is also far beyond those third-rank armors."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod; when he had fought other Flying Heaven ranks before, most of them used third-rank weapons.

Weapon treasures were also a part of one's strength.

"Yuan Warriors find it difficult even to fly or burrow; many natural dangerous lands can easily cause you to lose your life," the young girl looked at Li Yuan. "With this Demigod-level battle armor, plus the body-refining Star Art you cultivate... along with your Shadow Clone methods."

"At the very least, when facing peak Flying Heaven powerhouses, you have a certain degree of confidence in protecting yourself."

Li Yuan nodded heavily; this battle armor might not be as valuable as a divine artifact.

But for him right now, it was better than a divine artifact; after all, no matter how strong a divine artifact was, he couldn't use it yet.

"That is all for the treasures," the young girl looked at Li Yuan. "The path of cultivation must be walked by yourself; I hope you will not slack off. I will not ask too much about your daily cultivation."

"Yes." Li Yuan nodded.

Whether it was Senior Gu You, Dongfang Ji, or Dean Fang Hai, they actually rarely asked about the details of his cultivation.

If one had no motivation to work hard at cultivation, no one could help.

Cultivation was his own business.

"Sister. What are the requirements for the third trial of the Flying Heaven rank?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's not difficult," the young girl looked at Li Yuan and smiled. "Once your strength rivals a Demigod, it should be enough."

Hum~

The young girl in white had already dissipated, leaving Li Yuan alone in the main hall, dazed.

"Rivaling a Demigod?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

Li Yuan was in no hurry to leave with the Inheritance Hall; instead, he entered the Divine Crystal Chamber directly.

"The Divine Crystal energy is indeed denser than the mineral vein Stone Chamber," Li Yuan silently began to cultivate the "Earth Star Pulse True Explanation," striving to cultivate it to the limit of the second rank.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by; it was already August 29th.

Qixing Mountain, inside Lin Lanyue's villa residence.

Suddenly.

Lin Lanyue, who was in quiet meditation, received a communication.

"Demigod Sanye." Lin Lanyue was quite respectful.

"There is an urgent matter that requires your help," Demigod Sanye said solemnly.

"What is it?"

"Go to the Lieyu Star Realm and contact Li Yuan!"
