Chapter 320
"Oh right, I must remind you first." Venerable Qiu Bing laughed: "If you want to enter the inner layer of the mothership, you must at least become an inner-sect disciple of some Alien God."
"Inner-sect disciple?" Li Yuan was thoughtful.
"Each Alien God has left behind three different levels of inheritance, which are obtained by personal disciples, inner-sect disciples, and registered disciples respectively... among them, personal disciples and inner-sect disciples are not entirely based on strength, but on your choice." Venerable Qiu Bing said.
"Choice?" Li Yuan was puzzled.
"There are gains and losses; many Alien Gods left behind inheritances, both with the idea of preaching and the orders of the Heavenly Snake Deity... but they all have their own requirements." Venerable Qiu Bing laughed: "With your talent, if you choose the right path, there is hope of becoming a personal disciple, but you must make a choice."
"If you feel you cannot do it, it is best not to agree, otherwise it will easily affect your future."
Li Yuan suddenly realized; he could also understand.
People do not live for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them; even for Deity Gu Ju, leaving behind an inheritance was for a purpose, it was just that his own strength was still weak, and Gu You had not yet told him.
"Also." Venerable Qiu Bing laughed: "I will remind you again, according to the rules, fighting is not allowed anywhere in the mothership, especially in the Alien God area and the inner layer area; if the Law Enforcement Team were still here, those who started fighting would likely be killed on the spot by the Law Enforcement Team."
"It's just a pity that the Law Enforcement Team has long since ceased to exist..." Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head, and his figure dissipated with a bang.
Leaving Li Yuan standing in place, with a trace of astonishment on his face.
"What does Senior Qiu mean?" Li Yuan secretly thought: "Last time he reminded me, and later I immediately encountered two great Beast Emperors and started slaughtering."
"Now he reminds me again."
"Could it be that other powerhouses are approaching here?" A trace of killing intent flashed in Li Yuan's eyes: "Is it the Ten Thousand Scale Beast Emperor among the three great Beast Emperors? Or those geniuses from the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization and the Heavenly Virtue Civilization?"
Only these people had entered the mothership.
"Forget it."
"Now I don't even know if others have entered the inner layer." Li Yuan secretly thought: "The Ten Thousand Scale Beast Emperor has never appeared; it is very likely he entered the inner layer through the test method of the 'Heavenly Snake Bloodline'."
"The geniuses of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization have never been encountered; could it be they all entered the inner layer?" Li Yuan muttered to himself.
"Forget it."
"According to Senior Qiu's meaning, in the entire mothership, actually fighting is allowed everywhere." Li Yuan secretly thought.
Whoosh!
Li Yuan walked under the first Alien God statue; the statue was incomparably vivid, his eyes were cold, seemingly full of anger, and his whole body emitted an endless violent aura.
Fire lineage!
This Deity was clearly a Deity who became one through the Law of Fire.
"Stone wall." Li Yuan's gaze fell on the nine stone walls; on the stone walls were engraved marks resembling clusters of flames.
Nine stone walls, the flames engraved on each stone wall were all different, and the profound fluctuations emitted were also all different...
In the process of comprehending the profound meanings of Earth and Wind, one path giving birth to ten thousand laws, he was unknowingly also comprehending other heaven and earth mysteries, such as the mystery of Water, the mystery of Metal, etc., all of which had already crossed the five-stage threshold... only for the mystery of Fire and the mystery of Thunder, he had not even reached 1% of the five-stage level now.
"The mystery of Fire is too profound." Li Yuan shook his head; with his realm, he could feel the profoundness of the nine great stone walls.
But he just didn't understand.
... Time passed, and Li Yuan observed the six Alien God statues one by one for the first time.
During the observation process, Li Yuan gradually discovered that the six great Alien Gods each became Deities through the six great Laws of Fire, Wind, Earth, Metal, Thunder, and Water, and the stone walls left behind naturally all contained their respective Law mysteries.
"If I were to forcibly comprehend the Law of Fire and the Law of Metal, I fear it would be difficult even to become a registered disciple of an Alien God." Li Yuan muttered to himself.
People each have their strengths.
What he was best at was still the Earth lineage, followed by the Wind lineage... in other directions, he was ultimately not good at it; spending ten times the energy, he feared he would only harvest one part.
"I should still choose one from the two Alien Gods of Earth and Wind." Li Yuan arrived under the Earth-system Alien God statue.
This was a thick and simple old man, with kind eyebrows and pleasant eyes, looking compassionate.
Standing under this statue made Li Yuan feel very warm.
"Stone wall." Li Yuan silently sensed the first stone wall, on which was engraved a thick and boundless earth.
"The earth is thick."
Li Yuan now had quite high comprehension of the Earth True Intent; the Earth True Intent mystery alone could rival a peak Flying-level powerhouse... one could imagine how fast he was progressing.
In just one quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had comprehended the Earth mystery contained in the first stone wall.
"Condense!" Li Yuan's heart moved.
Heaven and earth force gathered, condensing a corresponding pattern in front of the first stone wall, and the profound fluctuations emitted were exactly the same.
"The second stone wall." Li Yuan looked at the next stone wall, which was also engraved with a vast earth, only there was an extra seed in the earth.
On the third stone wall, the seed sprouted.
On the fourth stone wall, the sprouted seed broke through the soil on the vast earth.
The fifth stone wall...
For three days, Li Yuan had been comprehending and observing the nine stone walls left by the Earth-system Alien God, comprehending to the sixth stone wall in one go... until he was blocked by the seventh stone wall.
According to Venerable Qiu Bing's guidance, a Second-Rank lifeform comprehending six stone walls had hope of obtaining the Alien God inheritance.
But Li Yuan himself hesitated.
"The path is wrong."
"The path taken by this Earth-system Alien God is different from mine." Li Yuan gradually realized this point from the nine stone walls: "What this Alien God comprehended was the 'nurturing' aspect; the earth is vast, and it also nurtures all things and nourishes all things."
"But what I follow, my Earth True Intent mystery, is just carrying all things and encompassing all things." Li Yuan was thoughtful.
There is no path that is definitely correct.
Every Law Great Path encompasses everything; starting from the Law of Earth can nurture all things, and starting from the Law of Water or the Law of Wood also has similar directions... there is only the path most suitable for oneself.
"What I pursue."
"Is carrying; with the vastness of Earth, carrying the rhythm of Wind, forming an absolutely controlled space, and even finally touching the mystery of Space." Li Yuan secretly thought.
This was the cultivation path Li Yuan had long since decided on.
The heaven and earth are boundless; the carefree and leisurely nature of the Wind was also what he liked from the bottom of his heart.
And nurturing all things and the evolution of life? It was also a supreme path, but at least for now, it was not Li Yuan's pursuit.
"The path is determined by the heart."
"I have not even entered the vast Law Great Path yet; being greedy for too much will make it hard to digest." Li Yuan secretly thought: "The path taken by this Earth-system Deity does not align with my heart, so there is no need to force it."
If Li Yuan had already walked extremely deep and far on the Law of Earth, he could have used it for reference.
But what realm was Li Yuan at now? He had not even reached the Law threshold.
"Wind-system Alien God." Li Yuan arrived under another Alien God statue.
It was also nine stone walls.
In the first stone wall, what was engraved was a figure, eyes closed, standing alone in the void, emitting a trace of ethereal and formless charm.
"The fluctuation of Wind?" Li Yuan spoke to himself, sensing carefully.
Gradually, a smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips: "Sure enough, just like the sensing before, this Wind-system Alien God also follows the phantom body direction."
When observing briefly before, Li Yuan had rough insights into the paths of the six great Alien Gods, but in his heart, he was more inclined toward the Earth-system Alien God; after all, the certainty was the greatest.
But looking at it now, the path of this Wind-system Alien God was more suitable for himself.
"The profoundness contained in this stone wall actually has some similarities with the Thousand Illusion Array Map." Li Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.
The Thousand Illusion Array Map was bestowed by Alliance Leader Dongfang Ji, containing over a thousand profound fluctuations, seemingly scattered but actually one body; for these past few months, Li Yuan had been pondering the mysteries within it.
But those thousand profound fluctuations, looking at them with Li Yuan's current realm, were still too complex.
But seeing these stone walls, Li Yuan quickly discovered the commonalities between the two.
"This first stone wall is perhaps equivalent to five or six profound fluctuations in the Thousand Illusion Array Map... but it is perfectly combined." Li Yuan's eyes lit up.
It was equivalent to someone giving an outline.
And someone giving an actual case for comprehension... they could be perfectly combined for comprehension.
"Hahaha."
"This is indeed my opportunity." Li Yuan revealed a smile and began to comprehend with all his heart.
The first stone wall was one figure.
The second stone wall was two figures.
The third stone wall was four figures.
... Time passed, and Li Yuan also discovered that the nine stone walls left by the Wind-system Alien God also had commonalities with "Nine Shadow Clones"; these nine stone walls were actually a set of extremely powerful combat techniques.
"Star arts are methods of imprinting star marks with star pulses, greatly enhancing the power of using heaven and earth mysteries." Li Yuan secretly thought: "If cultivated to a profound level, even without cultivating star arts, one can exert the power of low-level star arts."
Like Demigods.
If they use second-layer star arts or third-layer star arts, there is almost no improvement in strength; that is the reason.
... In the blink of an eye, nearly ten days passed.
Time had already entered October.
The various forces that entered the Mingxu Star Realm had already developed doubts about the so-called "God Land."
But whether it was the Seven Star Civilization, the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, or the Heavenly Virtue Civilization, they could only confirm the life and death of those who entered, but could not communicate... they did not know the specific situation inside the mothership.
So much time had passed.
Geniuses like Li Yuan, Yu Jinghe, Xue Yan, Fu Yuan, and others were the top-tier geniuses that their respective civilizations could send, and they had had no news for so long.
How could these civilizations dare to easily send others?
Inside the mothership, Alien God area.
Under that Wind-system Alien God statue, a black-clothed figure was sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Suddenly.
"That's it." Li Yuan, who had been comprehending with a calm heart, followed that fluctuation of Wind mystery in the dark and finally grasped that flash of spiritual light that had passed by.
An invisible fluctuation dispersed.
Hum~ Hum~ Hum~ Silently, figures appeared out of thin air around Li Yuan, some standing, some sitting, some standing in the distance laughing foolishly.
A total of nine figures, each with different postures.
"The mystery of Wind has finally completely transformed into the True Intent of Wind." A smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips.
He bade farewell to Teacher Lie Feng in early July; at that time, it was only a rudimentary form of True Intent, which was the 99% level of the five-stage.
Now, only three months had passed, and he had successfully crossed into the six-stage, truly condensing the True Intent of Wind.
This was already an astonishing speed.
Geniuses like Bateman, Yu Jinghe, Rudnev, and others took at least over a year to take this step.
"My talent in the Law of Wind is ultimately not as high as that of the Law of Earth." Li Yuan secretly sighed.
Being able to break through so quickly.
It was partly due to many opportunities, but more importantly, Li Yuan had experienced life-and-death slaughter time and time again over these few months... every life-and-death battle was a rare tempering.
Until he arrived at the Alien God area and saw the nine great stone walls of the Wind-system Alien God, borrowing and referencing each other, he broke through in one go.
"Nine great phantom bodies." Li Yuan's heart moved, and the nine phantom bodies moved simultaneously.
One must know that Li Yuan was not using star arts now; this was formed by the condensation of True Intent mystery.
This meant that Li Yuan had reached a brand new height in the "phantom body" direction of the Wind lineage.
"If I simply trigger the nine great phantom bodies, the strength increase is not that great." Li Yuan secretly thought: "The True Intent mystery is too weak, and the attack power of the phantom bodies is far from reaching the Flying-level... if I were fighting the Heavenly Snake Beast Emperor, I fear the phantom bodies would be destroyed by his attacks."
But!!
With Li Yuan's current True Intent mystery, if he were to use "Nine Shadow Clones" again, the power would soar by a large chunk... the nine shadow clones of the past were forcibly driven by star arts and would occasionally be struck by enemy attacks.
But now, as Li Yuan's skill realm further improved, when the nine shadow clones erupted, they would become increasingly ghostly and unpredictable.
"The star art power is even stronger."
"My spear technique power is also much stronger than before." Li Yuan revealed a smile.
Whoosh!
The Black Star Spear appeared in his palm, and he stepped out; the nine phantom bodies acted simultaneously, and the long spear thrust out silently, having already swept across a thousand meters of void.
Without a sound, it completely merged into heaven and earth.
Only a faint spear mark remained in the void, which only completely dissipated after a long time.
"Speed increased by a chunk."
"Attack power increased by about twenty percent."
"This is still because I just broke through, and the two True Intent mysteries are not thoroughly combined." Li Yuan secretly thought: "Once perfectly combined, the spear technique power should be able to increase quite a bit more."
Thinking of this.
Li Yuan's gaze fell on a column on the Divine Palace panel:
【Skill Realm: Earth True Intent (Six-Stage Mid-Tier), Wind True Intent (Six-Stage Initial Tier)...】
Li Yuan now could be considered to truly control two great True Intents.
"Continue to work hard."
"Following the current path, once the two great True Intents each break through another step and combine with each other, my spear technique power should have hope of rivaling the Demigod level." Li Yuan was quite expectant in his heart.
If one comprehends a single True Intent, it is very difficult to reach the six-stage perfection level.
But once different True Intents combine and one walks on the correct path, the strength improvement will be much faster.
Initially combining the two True Intent mysteries after the breakthrough, Li Yuan did not waste too much time.
Returning under the Alien God statue, he continued to comprehend.
Thoroughly condensing the True Intent of Wind allowed Li Yuan to comprehend and deduce the nine great stone walls at a much faster speed.
Only two days later.
"The sixth stone wall, finally comprehended." Li Yuan looked at the nine figures on the sixth stone wall.
If the Wind True Intent mystery had not broken through, there would be no hope of comprehending it so quickly.
"Three more stone walls." Li Yuan's gaze fell on the three stone walls behind.
The seventh stone wall had sixty-four figures.
The eighth stone wall had one hundred figures.
The ninth stone wall had even more, densely packed with six hundred figures... the nine stone walls, the further one went, the more exaggerated the difficulty increase became.
"To comprehend the nine stone walls, I fear even a six-stage perfection skill is not enough." Li Yuan secretly sighed: "But comprehending six stone walls, a six-stage initial tier has hope."
Li Yuan could not help but think of Venerable Qiu Bing's words.
A Second-Rank coming here, comprehending six stone walls has hope of obtaining the inheritance; if it is a Third-Rank lifeform, one must comprehend nine stone walls... clearly, the requirements for a Third-Rank lifeform seem higher.
"Continue to try comprehending the seventh stone wall." Li Yuan was very patient: "I have only just reached the bottom line; before accepting the test, I will try my best to make my skill level higher."
Li Yuan continued to ponder the seventh stone wall.
Another two days passed.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan, who was sitting quietly on the ground, seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look not far away.
Rumble~
He saw that in the center of the entire Alien God area, the originally flat metal ground suddenly trembled, followed by the metal ground cracking open, revealing a huge hole.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A full four figures flew out from the hole.
"What a pity."
"Rolbis, you only missed by a little bit and you would have won."
"Sigh!"
"Xue Yan is still more formidable, actually breaking through directly and killing his way into the inner layer; we were trapped in the test ground for so long and actually still failed."
"Don't mention it; I waited for you for over ten days on the first layer, and it turns out you all failed." The four were arguing and communicating.
Suddenly, the voices of the four people lowered simultaneously; they all looked in shock at the black-clothed figure not far away.
Dressed in black, even his facial features were completely obscured, standing under that huge Wind-system Alien God statue looking at them.
Among the four, the handsome and elegant youth "Rolbis" had a trace of wariness in his eyes: "Who are you?"
In their sensing, the black-clothed person before them seemed to be only Second-Rank, but his life aura was exceptionally powerful.
"You few should all be geniuses of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization." Li Yuan's voice was calm: "This one should be Rolbis."
"This one should be Yu Fu."
"This one should be 'Fu Yuan', the personal disciple of Deity Jin Liang."
"You? I don't recognize you, but being able to appear here, you should also be a Source Warrior Saint Son of the Heavenly Virtue Civilization before." Li Yuan's gaze swept over the few people and pointed out their identities one by one.
The moment these four appeared.
Li Yuan had already used Divine Palace investigation to confirm the life levels of the four of them—level 29.9, level 29.9, level 30.8, level 30.7.
Two Source Warriors.
Two Flying-level Warriors.
One must know that Li Yuan had long since obtained a large amount of genius information from the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization and the Heavenly Virtue Civilization, especially the top few, so he quickly compared them through their appearances.
Rolbis and Lulei came from the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization and were super geniuses that Alliance Leader Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai had warned him about before.
The strength of the two of them was not inferior to Yu Jinghe and Rudnev.
Fu Yuan was the strongest genius of this era of the Heavenly Virtue Civilization.
As for Yu Fu and the last bald youth, Li Yuan did not pay too much attention.
Since these two had already broken through to Flying-level Warriors, it was almost destined that they would not be the top-tier geniuses.
Just like the Seven Star Civilization, they would absolutely not be willing to let a genius like Yu Jinghe break through inside the Mingxu Star Realm.
"Where are Xue Yan and Lulei?" Li Yuan continued: "I didn't see them on the way here; did they both enter the inner layer?"
Xue Yan was the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization genius who was warned to have the strongest strength before Li Yuan entered the mothership's inner layer.
Rumble~ The originally cracked cave had slowly closed, but Rolbis, Fu Yuan, and the four of them, hearing Li Yuan point out their identities one by one, were already incomparably shocked in their hearts.
"Spirit Spear?" Yu Fu stared at Li Yuan; Li Yuan's attire was not quite the same as before.
"Smart." Li Yuan nodded.
"You are Spirit Spear?" Rolbis's eyes released a trace of light, staring curiously at Li Yuan: "You are alone facing the four of us, and you are not afraid at all?"
"Spirit Spear?"
The black-clothed youth Fu Yuan also stared at Li Yuan: "I heard from the teacher that your strength is extremely strong, seemingly already approaching level 34."
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The four genius powerhouses had just understood Li Yuan's identity when they immediately dispersed with a bang, faintly forming a surrounding posture, surrounding Li Yuan in the center, seemingly worried that Li Yuan would escape.
"Spirit Spear."
"Haha, Xue Yan said before that he would wait until leaving the mothership to deal with you." Rolbis revealed a smile: "I didn't expect that we would actually run into you ahead of time; perhaps one-on-one you are stronger than us, but we are four people."
"Should be killed." Yu Fu stared at Li Yuan.
"Surround me?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then revealed a smile: "Very good, then come over and kill me."
Li Yuan instantly understood that the news of him killing over a hundred Flying-level Beast Kings in one battle... these four geniuses from the Heavenly Virtue Civilization and the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization simply did not know.
"Do it!"
"Stop talking nonsense with him."
"Kill!"
"Only one battle." Rolbis, Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and the bald youth moved simultaneously, turning into four terrifying streaks of light, killing Li Yuan from four directions at the same time.
How fast was their speed; in the blink of an eye, they had all soared to over three times the speed of sound.
Like Rolbis, his speed was the fastest; his speed soared to nearly five times the speed of sound.
The four of them knew Li Yuan's strength was extremely strong, but meeting on a narrow path, they had no reason to retreat.
And the four of them were very confident, especially Rolbis.
"Boom!" Rolbis's body instantly turned five meters tall, his whole body diffusing with green light, and a terrifying battle axe appeared in his hand... the originally elegant youth was now like a God of War.
"Is it a seven-layer body-refining star art? Such a strong life aura?" A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.
He somewhat understood why Rolbis and the others were full of confidence.
"Spirit Spear." Rolbis shouted angrily; before he arrived, that violent life aura had already dispersed.
Swish!
A huge axe light had already torn through hundreds of meters of sky, whistling as it hacked toward Li Yuan.
"So strong!"
"Rolbis, he is worthy of being someone who only missed by a little bit from breaking into the inner layer."
"His strength is absolutely comparable to level 33." Fu Yuan, Yu Fu, and that bald youth all had a trace of expectation in their eyes.
However.
"Not good!" Fu Yuan, who was also flying at high speed, had his face change slightly: "Not good! Rolbis, run quickly!!"
When Rolbis's huge battle axe hacked down fiercely.
Li Yuan, who had been waiting in place, finally moved; his body also expanded to five meters tall in an instant.
A violent and vigorous aura soared into the sky.
Boom!
Li Yuan stepped out, and under the condition of going all out to use "Wind Feather," his speed instantly exceeded eight times the speed of sound, like a terrifying meteor sweeping across the sky.
He directly rushed into Rolbis's True Intent domain; the seemingly powerful True Intent domain could hardly cause any influence on Li Yuan.
"What? This kind of speed?" Rolbis's face also changed greatly; he had already realized something was wrong.
But at this time, wanting to retreat? Too late!
"Swish!" A black long spear swept across the sky fiercely.
"Boom~"
The long spear and the battle axe collided; a terrifying force passed through the weapon, instantly stunning Rolbis; his whole person flew backward with a bang, blood spraying wildly from his mouth, and the battle axe in his hand was directly knocked out of his grip.
"Swish!"
A spear swept across the sky, and Rolbis, who was flying backward, instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Rolbis, dead!
"Three of you left." Li Yuan's gaze swept over the other three terrified figures, muttering to himself: "Lagging intelligence kills people!"
