Chapter 325

Competing for the treasure in the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals? Is this the reason why the deities descended ten thousand years ago? Li Yuan held his breath.

Before, when listening to Teacher Lie Feng mention it, he only thought it was a dangerous place containing treasures, perhaps a Fourth-Tier Star Realm.

But looking at it now, it was far more than that.

From the Ancient Divine Palace and the civilization mothership, one could glimpse how powerful the Ancient Torch deity and the Sky Snake deity 'Venerable Qiu Bing' were... yet they still killed their way over without hesitation.

What exactly is hidden in this Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals?

"Venerable, are you a Heavenly Deity?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.

The burly, single-horned figure, who was originally talking freely, was stunned and shut his mouth.

"Spirit Spear."

The black snake phantom on the side said in a low voice: "A Heavenly Deity is an extremely great existence. Even in the Divine Domain, every Heavenly Deity is a super existence. Among massive amounts of deities, only then can one Heavenly Deity be born."

"A Heavenly Deity can open up a vast kingdom, rule countless planets... In the Sky Snake clan, the number of Heavenly Deities is extremely small."

"The Venerable is considered an extremely strong existence even among True Deities, and only then did he obtain the title of 'Venerable'." The black snake phantom said: "If the Venerable's original plan could have succeeded and he could have obtained the treasure in the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals, he would have had hope of becoming a Heavenly Deity."

Li Yuan nodded respectfully, but he understood in his heart.

So he wasn't a Heavenly Deity.

Of course, Li Yuan also understood that just like Flying Sky Martial Artists and Demigods have differences between each other.

Fifth-Tier Void Deities and Sixth-Tier True Deities, even at the same realm, the gap in strength is probably also astonishing.

Venerable Qiu Bing was an extremely strong True Deity back then.

"Heavenly Deity?" A trace of complex expression flashed through Venerable Qiu Bing's eyes as he looked at Li Yuan: "Your talent is extremely high. With my help, plus your advantage as a lifeform of this domain, you have a slim hope of becoming a Heavenly Deity and roaming the Divine Domain."

"A slim hope?" Li Yuan thought to himself, but he didn't refute it.

From Venerable Qiu Bing's description, Heavenly Deities are indeed incomparably powerful, far exceeding ordinary deities.

"Venerable, what is in the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

What treasure could attract deities to descend?

"What is in the core, I don't know?" Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head.

"Don't know?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"More than ten thousand years ago, I led my subordinates to roam a star system in the Divine Domain." Venerable Qiu Bing said slowly: "Passing through an area, I sensed the entire starry sky trembling continuously... I sensed the power of heaven and earth and observed that a great turmoil had erupted in this mortal domain of yours."

"I observed a magnificent and vast wonder."

"Above the wonder, there were nine continuous mountain peaks, one after another, each mountain peak seeming to span hundreds of millions of miles, emitting brilliant light."

"Below, it was like a lotus flower, with huge leaves, a full nine leaves, supporting the nine mountain peaks... One leaf supporting one mountain peak, and those nine leaves didn't know how many tens of thousands of miles they spanned." Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head.

Li Yuan listened, holding his breath. No wonder Venerable Qiu Bing asked him at the beginning if he knew about the 'Nine Mountains and Nine Leaves'.

So that was it.

"That wonder was just a projection."

"Reflecting the vast space-time of the Divine Domain, a large number of star systems and planets saw it."

"It caused a huge uproar." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Very quickly, many deities in the nearby star systems and planets calculated that the source of this wonder was this mortal domain of yours."

"And very quickly, rumors spread that an extremely powerful existence was buried in your mortal domain, leaving behind a great treasure."

"This is the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals."

"Plus the 'window period' for entering your mortal domain at that time was already running out." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Therefore, many deities didn't dare to hesitate much and all desperately descended into this mortal domain of yours."

"A large number of deities."

"Just the process of descending caused more than half of the deities to fall." Venerable Qiu Bing said in a low voice: "There were even True Deity-level existences that fell."

Li Yuan listened, his heart trembling.

Is it that dangerous? Just the journey caused True Deities to fall?

"Venerable, what is a window period?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously.

"Many mortal domains orbit the Divine Domain according to the rules of heaven and earth." The black snake phantom on the side said in a low voice: "For the vast majority of the time, mortal domains are very far from the Divine Domain, the connection between them is very weak, and the dimensional domain membrane is incomparably thick, which even Heavenly Deities cannot tear... Only in very rare times, mortal domains are attracted by the Divine Domain, the two sides get closer, space becomes unstable, and Fifth-Tier deities can travel... This is the window period."

Li Yuan suddenly understood. In the vast starry sky, many mortal domains and the Divine Domain are constantly operating, not fixed and motionless.

"Once the window period is missed, then, unless it is a local lifeform of this mortal domain, borrowing the power of the dimensional domain origin, there is hope of returning to their hometown." The black snake phantom said: "All outsiders cannot enter this mortal domain."

"Even so, wanting to travel through different dimensional domains is also extremely dangerous... The ubiquitous spatial cracks will shred most of those who are good at traveling, and Demigods will surely die."

"At least one must be a Fifth-Tier Void Deity to have hope of breaking through." The black snake phantom said.

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily. It seemed that Divine Domain powerhouses wanting to descend was also extremely dangerous.

"Didn't any Heavenly Deities come?" Li Yuan was curious.

"The incident happened very suddenly, and many great powerhouses hadn't arrived yet when the window period had already passed." Venerable Qiu Bing said softly: "As for Heavenly Deities? Perhaps some arrived, but the limit for outsiders allowed by the mortal domain is 'Sixth-Tier True Deity'."

"Heavenly Deities cannot descend to a non-hometown mortal domain. They are too powerful and will be rejected by the origin of the mortal domain... If they dare to force their way in, they will inevitably fall. These are all lessons written in blood."

Li Yuan understood immediately.

Among the deities who descended, the Sky Snake deity should belong to the top tier in terms of strength.

"Breaking through the dimensional domain passage with great difficulty." Venerable Qiu Bing had a trace of memory in his eyes: "I sensed many powerful existences, all True Deities. We were suppressed by the origin and couldn't enter the dimensional planes, so we could only travel in the 'starry sky gaps' between planes."

"Fortunately, the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals was also rejected by the dimensional domain and didn't fall directly into any dimensional plane, otherwise, we deities would have been dumbfounded." Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head.

Li Yuan listened.

He had learned about this point in the Starfire Martial Hall database; if Demigods cross the vast starry sky, theoretically they can travel into one dimensional plane after another.

But deities? They are absolutely rejected.

"Finally, we arrived at the periphery of the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals."

"The Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals seemed to have just been born and was still extremely unstable."

"It was indeed an incredible great treasure. Just the periphery had countless rare treasures. I sensed the things I was pursuing, which were extremely dangerous... A great battle, one deity after another fell." Venerable Qiu Bing sighed: "More than ten deities under my command also died, leaving only six."

He seemed to be recalling the tragedy of that great battle.

Li Yuan listened; it seemed that besides the battle between deities, the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals itself contained huge dangers.

"After the first great battle."

"The Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals gradually stabilized. I realized that if I directly broke into the inner domain, the probability of falling would be extremely high. Many deities retreated and chose to leave, but I had no choice." Venerable Qiu Bing said in a low voice: "I was already living in survival; this was the greatest opportunity I had ever encountered. Even if I had to risk my life, I had to venture in."

"Moreover, once the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals completely stabilized, the suppression would be even greater, and it was feared the hope would be even slimmer."

Li Yuan held his breath.

Living in survival? No choice?

"But I cannot become a sinner of the clan." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Therefore, before setting off, I left the civilization mothership behind. If I failed, then my Sky Snake clan would still have a glimmer of hope."

"At that time, the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals appeared, and this mortal domain of yours was trembling. Many dimensions collided with each other, giving birth to many new Star Realms... To protect the civilization mothership, I took the initiative to make it fall into this Star Realm." Venerable Qiu Bing said.

New Star Realm?

Li Yuan immediately thought of the 'Silver Feather Star Realm', which also seemed to have been born during that period.

Everything matched up.

"Many cabins of the civilization mothership were damaged during the first round of the great battle."

"I deduced at the time that this Star Realm should be conducive to the reproduction of life." Venerable Qiu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

So, this civilization mothership was actively dropped by the Sky Snake deity, not chased by enemies.

"I left behind many backhands and left behind a spiritual imprint." Venerable Qiu Bing said softly: "My true self led many deities under my command, as well as some Demigods, to set off... Not long after, I sensed that my true self had fallen."

"No more news came back."

"I knew that the first plan had failed." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan: "I could only execute the second plan. I began to reproduce life within the civilization mothership... But resources were scarce, and there was no tempering environment. As time passed, the few Demigods and Flying Sky-level beings who originally lived on the mothership died of old age, and countless ordinary mortals died..."

"There was no other way."

"Fortunately, the Star Realm stabilized and had the foundation for life reproduction. I released the few remaining lifeforms into the Star Realm one after another... This is the Mingxu Beast clan." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Now, most of the lifeforms of the Mingxu Beast clan, theoretically, are my descendants, all containing a trace of my bloodline."

Li Yuan listened; these messages were already known before.

"For these bloodline descendants, although I don't have much affection, if their potential is also not bad, I naturally lean more towards them." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "Like that Ten Thousand Scale Beast Emperor, his potential is far inferior to Xue Yan's, let alone compared to you... but I still gave him a chance."

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

No matter how little affection, there would always be some bias.

"But your potential is too high." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan, sighing: "If you were born in the Divine Domain, once you grow to the Flying Sky level and further confirm your potential... you would have complete hope of becoming a disciple under a Heavenly Deity."

"Further confirm potential?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"Your potential is great enough now, but your cultivation time is too short... Heavenly Deities have such long lifespans? They won't easily take disciples." The black snake phantom on the side laughed: "However, if you maintain this growth and cultivate to Level 37, Level 38, or even become a Demigod, Heavenly Deities will definitely be willing to take you as a disciple."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

According to Venerable Qiu Bing and the black snake, his current performance could enter the eyes of a Heavenly Deity?

"Why Level 37, Level 38?" Li Yuan asked suspiciously.

"Seven Star Pulses can cultivate to Level 37, and to cultivate to Level 38 requires Eight Star Pulses." Venerable Qiu Bing laughed: "Seven Star Pulses are a condition for cultivating into a Seventh-Tier Heavenly Deity... Heavenly Deities cultivate disciples naturally aiming for them to become Heavenly Deities. If they only cultivate a Sixth-Tier True Deity, it is meaningless to Heavenly Deities standing at the peak of the Divine Domain."

"Therefore, wanting to become a Heavenly Deity's disciple, awakening Seven Star Pulses is the bottom line."

"Even if it is True Deities taking disciples, for example, the many inner disciples I took before, they required at least Six Star Pulses. Six Star Pulses is the bottom line for becoming a Sixth-Tier True Deity."

"And in reality, Heavenly Deity disciples are mostly Eight Star Pulses." Venerable Qiu Bing said.

"Eight Star Pulses?" Li Yuan was stunned.

In this mortal domain of his, Seven Star Pulses were already close to legend, let alone Eight Star Pulses.

Before, Gu You didn't dare to say she could become Eight Star Pulses.

"In the mortal domain, Seven Star Pulses are legends, almost all becoming deities, and in the Divine Domain, they are also considered geniuses." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "But the Divine Domain is vast, with countless lifeforms, Eight Star Pulses... naturally exist. With the long lifespans of Heavenly Deities, they can afford to wait."

"Heavenly Deities, even if they take one personal disciple every ten thousand years, they would have dozens of personal disciples in their lifetime." Venerable Qiu Bing said with emotion.

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

Eight Star Pulses, in the Divine Domain, were also close to legend for ordinary deities... but not for Heavenly Deities.

Or rather, if there is no foundation of Eight Star Pulses, it is difficult to become a Heavenly Deity.

Every Heavenly Deity is a peerless genius born in the long years of the Divine Domain.

"Your potential is huge. Now you are already Six Star Pulses, and every star pulse is exceptionally powerful, clearly still having huge potential. Awakening Seven Star Pulses is almost a certainty, and there is hope for achieving Eight Star Pulses."

"Your talent for enlightenment is also extremely high, combining Earth and Wind... In the future, you have complete hope of touching the Space Law." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan: "Meeting a genius like you in the mortal domain is already a favor from heaven, something that can be met but not sought. I cannot hope for more."

"Waiting another hundred thousand years, it might not be possible to meet someone with higher potential than you... Therefore, I have already made up my mind." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "You will execute the second plan."

Li Yuan sighed inwardly; the Sky Snake deity indeed valued him extremely highly.

"Venerable, what is this so-called second plan?" Li Yuan asked: "What do you need me to do?"

"Do you know why I brought the civilization mothership?" Venerable Qiu Bing sighed, which seemed completely unrelated to what Li Yuan asked.

Li Yuan shook his head involuntarily.

"The Sky Snake clan was destroyed in a great battle, and a large number of clansmen were scattered." The black snake phantom on the side gritted his teeth: "This civilization mothership of ours is an escape mothership, always fleeing. The Venerable is one of the very few True Deity powerhouses who escaped from the clan. We came to venture into the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals just because the Venerable wanted to break through to become a Heavenly Deity, so that he could rebuild our Sky Snake clan in the future."

Li Yuan was stunned.

So, the Sky Snake clan had already been destroyed. No wonder he brought the civilization mothership... Normally, powerhouses roaming the world wouldn't bring so many weak clansmen.

Not only would it drag themselves down, but it would also drag these clansmen down.

So, there was no choice.

"The first plan was for me to maximize my gains in the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals and become a Heavenly Deity." Venerable Qiu Bing said softly.

"The second plan is to ask for your help." Venerable Qiu Bing's gaze fell on Li Yuan: "In the future, carry the last 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake' of my clan into the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals, and finally help it become a Heavenly Deity to rebuild my Sky Snake clan."

"Holy Blood Heavenly Snake?" Li Yuan was both shocked and suspicious: "What is the difference from a pure-blood Heavenly Snake?"

"Sky Snake bloodline, if it only contains a part, according to the bloodline concentration, there is hope of becoming a Second-Tier, Third-Tier, or even Fourth-Tier powerhouse." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "And a pure-blood Heavenly Snake, once adult, will directly become a Fifth-Tier Void Deity."

Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

The True Phoenix clan is the same. Lin Lanyue's ancestor, 'Demigod Yan Cheng', relied on bloodline to quickly achieve Demigod status.

"Above the pure-blood Heavenly Snake, there is another most powerful bloodline." Venerable Qiu Bing said slowly: "Named 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake'. This is mentioned in the same breath as the 'Five-Clawed Golden Dragon' of the Divine Dragon clan. It is one of the most powerful bloodlines among the ten thousand clans in the Divine Domain... Containing this bloodline at birth, as long as it reaches adulthood, it will become a peak True Deity in the future!! And there is a slim hope of becoming a Heavenly Deity."

"And on this civilization mothership of ours, we carry a 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake Egg'. It was handed to me by the clan elders when we escaped from the Sky Snake Divine Palace." Venerable Qiu Bing said in a low voice: "During that great battle, the Heavenly Deities in the clan were watched by enemies and couldn't escape even if they wanted to. We True Deities... instead had a certain hope of escaping."

"This is a great hope for my Sky Snake clan to rise again."

Li Yuan listened, dumbfounded.

In the mortal domain, how many civilizations, from rise to decline and destruction, probably couldn't give birth to a single True Deity.

But this so-called 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake', just by natural growth, will be a peak True Deity powerhouse in the future? It's really bullying, too exaggerated.

"Venerable."

"If so, then wouldn't it be enough to hatch this Holy Blood Heavenly Snake egg?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.

If it were hatched early, in ten thousand years, it should have long since reached adulthood and grown to its peak.

"No."

"It is an outsider. Even if it hatches in this world, it won't get the recognition of the origin of this dimensional domain." Venerable Qiu Bing shook his head: "Then, it will still be suppressed and rejected, making it very difficult to grow steadily in this dimensional domain."

"Secondly, in the future, entering the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals, it will also be rejected." Venerable Qiu Bing said.

"Rejected?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"The Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals contains a powerful origin. Since it has gradually stabilized over the long years, it shows that it has already combined with the origin of this dimensional domain." The black snake phantom explained: "Like you, as a local lifeform of this dimensional domain, even if you grow to become a Heavenly Deity, you will only be suppressed, and you won't be rejected... You are like a child nurtured by the origin."

"But outsiders, if they violate some rules of heaven and earth operation, will even be suppressed or killed."

"Like Heavenly Deities, they can't even enter." The black snake phantom said.

Li Yuan understood.

Venerable Qiu Bing hopes to transform this 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake Egg' into a 'local lifeform'?

Then, this Holy Blood Heavenly Snake will grow a little in the future, and the hope of seizing treasures in the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals will greatly increase.

The probability of becoming a Heavenly Deity is also estimated to increase.

"Venerable, what specifically do you need me to do?" Li Yuan said.

"Become the gestation carrier for this 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake Egg'." Venerable Qiu Bing said in a low voice: "At the same time, establish a 'bloodline compatibility' with it. In this way, once it hatches, it will be equivalent to half your child."

"It will also be equivalent to becoming your 'contracted spirit beast'."

"In the future, once it grows to its peak, it will definitely rely on you incomparably and help you roam the Divine Domain."

"I also leave many treasures for you to help you grow faster." Venerable Qiu Bing said.

Li Yuan listened, feeling stunned.

It actually wants this unborn Holy Blood Heavenly Snake to become his spirit beast?

And there are treasures.

It sounds like there are only benefits!

"What can you get?" Li Yuan could not help but ask.

How can there only be benefits?

"You gestate it. Because you are a local lifeform, it gets nourishment from your soul and bloodline, and it can also get the recognition of the dimensional domain origin." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan: "In this way, when you join forces to venture into the Ancient Domain of Buried Immortals in the future, and cooperate with each other, the probability of success will greatly increase."

Li Yuan didn't speak. If this was the only reason, it was far from enough.

"In addition."

"I need you to make two Law Oaths." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "First, you must do your best to protect it with all your strength during its growth process and help it become a 'Heavenly Deity'. Of course, it is destined to become a peak True Deity. You mainly protect it to avoid it being hunted down by powerhouses in the Divine Domain."

"After all, the Sky Snake clan was destroyed, but the enemies haven't disappeared... Only ten thousand years have passed, and they must still be hunting down the remaining power of the Sky Snake clan."

"Second, once it becomes a Heavenly Deity in the future, you must help it rebuild the Sky Snake clan."

Li Yuan nodded lightly.

It seems that everything Venerable Qiu Bing did was to rebuild the Sky Snake clan. This should be Venerable Qiu Bing's obsession.

"Everything has been told to you."

"Choose!"

"If you agree, the many inheritance treasures I have prepared will satisfy you." Venerable Qiu Bing looked at Li Yuan: "If you don't agree, I will send you away."

The empty hall became quiet.

Venerable Qiu Bing and the black phantom were both waiting for Li Yuan's reply.

"Agree, not agree?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly. Agreeing now seems to be all benefits.

The real drawback is in the future!

In the future, if he heads to the Divine Domain, then once that huge force that destroyed the Sky Snake clan discovers him, they will definitely hunt him down with all their strength... It's equivalent to establishing a big enemy in advance.

According to Venerable Qiu Bing, even the Heavenly Deities in the Sky Snake clan couldn't stop this enemy? How terrifying must the enemy's power be?

Regarding the Divine Domain, Li Yuan still had a yearning in his heart.

But!

Regardless of good or bad, does he have a choice? If he doesn't agree, Li Yuan doesn't think Venerable Qiu Bing will let him leave.

The Spirit of Heavenly Wind was taken, the secret was known... Saying he didn't want to and wanted to leave at this time? That's wanting to hit the road!

Li Yuan also understood at this moment why Venerable Qiu Bing had repeatedly reminded him several times before... Choose?

Sometimes, once a decision is made, there is actually no choice.

Moreover, this deal is considered not bad.

No matter how strong the Sky Snake clan's enemies are, they are ultimately in the Divine Domain. Only when he heads to the Divine Domain will it be possible for them to pose a threat to him.

"I am willing." Li Yuan said.

"Good." Venerable Qiu Bing showed a smile on his face: "Then first make two Law Oaths."

Whoosh~

Venerable Qiu Bing waved his hand, and a light screen projection condensed, showing the oath words on it.

Li Yuan confirmed there were no errors and quickly made the Law Oaths.

Like the previous oath, there was no feeling.

"Next, it is to gestate the 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake'. The whole process is estimated to last three months." Venerable Qiu Bing said: "During this period, it will be difficult for you to be distracted, and the process will also be somewhat tormenting. I hope you can hold on."

"Three months?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised: "So long."

"It's already very short." The black snake phantom laughed: "This is still under the condition that everything was prepared long ago."

"Fine."

"But before starting, I hope to transmit news back first." Li Yuan said in a low voice: "Having not returned for so long, I am afraid the high echelon of my hometown civilization will think something happened to me and will worry about me."
