Chapter 339

Flying Star, a mysterious place, the sky is dim, and below is a vast sea area.

Only the seawater is completely black, unfathomable.

Two figures are standing in the void.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Fang Da, dressed in black, looked at Dongfang Ji not far away.

If Li Yuan were here.

He would definitely be able to feel that Fang Da's aura had changed greatly compared to the past.

If the Fang Da of the past was restrained and heavy, occasionally revealing a sharp edge.

Then now, he is like an abyss, becoming unfathomable.

"Li Yuan just sent a message asking if he could exchange for a large batch of Fourth Rank soul-restoring treasures," Dongfang Ji, dressed in green, smiled: "He wants to exchange for 100 pieces."

"100 pieces? So many? The entire Seven Star Treasury doesn't have that many," Fang Da frowned.

"Should I go and persuade him?" Fang Da shook his head: "If he does this, other demigods and Flying Heaven-tier experts might not have soul-type treasures to practice with."

In Fang Da's view, even if Li Yuan had enough Seven Star points, he shouldn't be so willful.

He should always consider the big picture.

"No need."

"He communicated directly to me without making things difficult for Sanye; he probably just wanted to ask if he could exchange," Dongfang Ji smiled: "He risked his life to make a great contribution to the civilization... an equal exchange naturally shouldn't make him feel cold-hearted."

"I have already asked Yun Pu to prepare."

"I can still afford to exchange for a few hundred Fourth Rank soul treasures," Dongfang Ji said lightly.

Fang Da's pupils shrank, feeling slightly surprised.

A Fourth Rank soul treasure is normally worth one or two thousand points... 100 pieces would be worth several hundred thousand Seven Star points.

But treasures are not calculated like that.

Logically, for Fourth Rank treasures, the production of the entire civilization within a certain period is limited, and it is impossible to allow any powerhouse to exchange for an unlimited amount.

Unless... there is a stable supply channel.

But in the entire dimensional domain, which force can stably provide Fourth Rank soul treasures? Even the Immortal Ruins Civilization cannot do it.

In an instant, Fang Da thought of many possibilities.

"No need to ask more," Dongfang Ji shook his head and smiled: "When you pass the Seventh Mountain, many things will naturally be understood... by then, the Seven Star Civilization will also be handed over to you."

"Yes, Teacher." Fang Da nodded, no longer asking about the source of the treasures, and couldn't help but ask: "What is Li Yuan doing with so many Fourth Rank treasures?"

"He said he wants to impact a demigod soul and awaken the Seven Star Pulses," Dongfang Ji said.

Fang Da's pupils shrank.

"According to the perception of the Martial God Hall, half a year ago, his spear technique level could rival a demigod," Dongfang Ji smiled: "He is much faster than you were back then."

"It's only been three years since the battle in the Mingxu Star Realm, and his spear technique has transformed again? He is indeed much faster than me," Fang Da sighed with emotion: "When I was nearly forty, my realization of True Intent reached the demigod level."

"And it took another ten-plus years, plus the opportunity of the Nine-Leaf World, to cross the threshold of the Law."

"Li Yuan is indeed stronger than me," Fang Da said.

"No need to compare with him; everyone's talent and opportunities are different," Dongfang Ji said calmly: "Before him, you were already a rare genius of our Seven Star Civilization."

"It is thanks to Teacher's guidance," Fang Da said solemnly.

He was very grateful to his teacher in his heart, and he also knew that if it weren't for his teacher's guidance all the way... he wouldn't be where he is today.

"Teacher, Li Yuan wants to awaken the Seven Star Pulses as a Source martial artist; is there hope?" Fang Da asked: "Is relying on some Fourth Rank treasures enough?"

"Not enough," Dongfang Ji shook his head: "Seven Star Pulses... are not that easy."

"His body is too weak; wanting to become a demigod soul... if he only relies on external objects, Fifth Rank treasures are not enough."

"Sixth Rank treasures? I find it hard to take them out, and even if I could, his soul and body wouldn't be able to bear it," Dongfang Ji said.

Fang Da couldn't help but nod.

Treasures also require one to be strong enough to exert enough effect.

Otherwise, it would be harmful instead.

"With the guidance of two True God inheritances, his path will not go wrong... but how far he can go depends on himself," Dongfang Ji looked at Fang Da: "Don't worry about him; next, you need to focus on yourself."

"I look forward to the day you pass the Nine-Leaf, succeed as a demigod, and finally pass the Seventh Mountain to return," Dongfang Ji's eyes were full of expectation.

"Teacher."

"Disciple will definitely do his best," Fang Da bowed heavily, and he no longer hesitated.

Whoosh!

Turning into a stream of light, he rushed into the pitch-black seawater... deep in this sea area is the entrance to the Nine-Leaf World.

In the void, Dongfang Ji looked at the pitch-black seawater, lost in thought for a moment.

"I hope he can succeed," Dongfang Ji sighed inwardly.

He was full of expectations for Li Yuan, but in terms of cultivation, he was purely letting him grow freely, letting Li Yuan play to his own strengths.

For Fang Da, however, he had deep feelings; after all, this was a personal disciple he had cultivated for decades.

The effort he spent on Fang Da was the greatest.

"Master, I have already contacted God Fang Yao of the Ten Thousand Worlds Chamber of Commerce," the low voice suddenly sounded beside Dongfang Ji: "It is expected that in three days, the relevant treasures will be delivered to 'Canglan Star'."

"Hmm, you go and arrange to receive them," Dongfang Ji said softly: "For the next period of time, no matter what Li Yuan wants, as long as he has enough Seven Star points to exchange... give them to him."

"I cannot cultivate him with all my might like a god, but the basic cultivation conditions should still be there."

"Yes!" the low voice said.

Three days later.

"Li Yuan, the things have been delivered; confirm it on the virtual network," Duanmu Hong, dressed in white, smiled: "What did you buy again? This time it was actually sent by Demigod Sanye; it must be very valuable, right?"

"Some small things," Li Yuan smiled and took the storage treasure handed over by Duanmu Hong.

Returning alone to the quiet room in the palace.

"Including the batch sent the day before yesterday, there are a total of 100 Fourth Rank soul-restoring treasures," Li Yuan sensed the various rare treasures stored in the storage treasure.

Either spirit fruits, or medicinal liquids, or jade-like, and even withered wood-like.

All kinds of strange things.

"Alliance Leader, you are truly amazing," Li Yuan was secretly shocked: "Actually deliberately getting so many types of Fourth Rank treasures... many treasures have never appeared in the Seven Star Treasury."

Li Yuan didn't expect the Alliance Leader to really be able to get them... but it turned out that he had underestimated the Alliance Leader.

"Within the civilization, there should still be secrets!" Li Yuan thought of the last time he practiced "Ten Thousand Things Divine Body".

Dongfang Ji also got a large number of treasures within a few days.

"Once is a coincidence."

"Twice?"

"These many rare treasures, gathered all at once, cannot be produced within the civilization," Li Yuan thought to himself: "In all likelihood, the Alliance Leader has a channel that can exchange for a large number of treasures."

Such a channel is absolutely of great significance to the entire Seven Star Civilization.

"That's fine."

"Exchanging for these 100 Fourth Rank treasures cost 300,000 Seven Star points," Li Yuan thought to himself: "I hope it can help me."

"As long as I succeed."

"Spending all several million Seven Star points is worth it."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan's heart moved, and a fruit that was red all over and emitted a strange light flew out.

Immediately, it was directly held in Li Yuan's mouth.

Close your eyes.

Boom! The vast majority of Li Yuan's spiritual consciousness had surged into the Great Sun Jade Platform on the first floor of the Spiritual Divine Palace.

Placed in a vast starry sky.

At the end of the starry sky was a dazzling, endless great sun, its light covering the void and also falling on Li Yuan.

When his spiritual power was only level ten-plus back then, Li Yuan would feel pain when facing these rays of light.

Nowadays?

"Every time I come, I feel comfortable," Li Yuan's spiritual consciousness felt warm.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan's consciousness body flew rapidly toward the great sun; the originally comfortable great sun light rapidly became scorching, followed by a burning pain.

The closer he got, the more terrifying the great sun light became, and the pressure emitted became increasingly powerful.

A long time.

In Li Yuan's horizon, the entire great sun had covered half of the sky... obviously, they were very close to each other.

"My soul is being scorched," a hint of pain appeared on Li Yuan's face.

Over the past few years, Li Yuan practiced meditation methods, mostly staying in this area.

Even with Li Yuan's demigod-level willpower, he felt pain... but it wouldn't really threaten his life.

"Not enough!"

"If I practice normally, staying here to meditate on the great sun is enough, but if I want to break the limit."

"Then I have to get closer," a hint of determination flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Boom!

Li Yuan continued to approach, and the pain of scorching the soul continued to soar.

Li Yuan was still gritting his teeth and persisting, constantly moving forward.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~" The terrifying great sun light even penetrated the surface layer and began to directly damage Li Yuan's soul; this was simply the pain of tearing the soul apart.

Pain!

Excruciating pain!

"Reached the limit." Not only was Li Yuan's soul trembling, but even his body was implicitly affected, trembling.

With a thought, Li Yuan had already begun to operate the "Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra".

Swish~ In the starry sky at the other end of the void, wisps of strange power faintly traveled through the void and penetrated into Li Yuan's consciousness body, constantly alleviating the pain of the soul and repairing the damage to the soul.

But this alleviation was far from enough.

"Crack~" Li Yuan's body immediately took that Fourth Rank fruit.

Rapidly, the fruit's efficacy was exerted, and strands of strange power penetrated into Li Yuan's spiritual world... beginning to restore Li Yuan's soul injuries.

"Continue!"

"Temper the spirit, temper the willpower!" Li Yuan tried his best to bear this pain: "My body is too weak, so wanting to directly gestate a demigod-level soul with my body, or assisting with external objects, won't work."

"Then, I can only find a way to make the soul transform from the inside out."

"Meditation method!"

"The pressure of the great sun."

"For seven years of practicing meditation methods, although I practiced diligently, every time I reached the limit of spiritual power, I would rest... if I want to break the shackles of the body, I have to break the limit of the soul!!" This is the method Li Yuan thought of to make the soul completely transform.

Meditation method.

"Squeeze the soul again and again, tear the soul apart," Li Yuan silently bore the pain: "Just like exercising the body, practicing to death... practicing like this, normally, the soul wouldn't be able to bear it and would collapse."

"But I have been taking Fourth Rank soul treasures... able to combine with meditation methods to quickly restore soul injuries."

"Effort!"

"Do my best! Persist!"

"Until the day the soul transforms from the inside out," Li Yuan was determined in his heart.

For a Flying Heaven tier, wanting the soul to transform to the demigod level is extremely difficult.

A Source martial artist wanting to do it? The difficulty is unimaginable.

Li Yuan's method, easy to say, like the gods of the Divine Domain all understand, but knowing is easy and doing is difficult, and their descendants rarely can do it at the Second Rank... having to bear the extreme pain of tearing the soul apart is not something ordinary people can do.

The more creatures raised in a honey pot, born powerful, never having suffered since childhood, how can they bear it?

Even Li Yuan.

Through years of meditation practice, he had tempered his willpower to the demigod level, and he still couldn't quite bear it.

But he kept persisting!

Just like when he was young, before he practiced the incompatible high-level cultivation method and hadn't awakened the Spiritual Divine Palace... he practiced day after day for years, and he never thought of giving up.

When practicing at Kunlun Martial University, he could bear the extreme pain of the "Body-Washing Spirit Marrow".

Resilience! Madness! This is Li Yuan's true colors.

Time passed.

One day, two days, five days... except for normally practicing spear techniques, realizing the mysteries of True Intent, and occasionally seeing Lin Lanyue... Li Yuan spent most of the remaining time on meditation methods.

Gradually.

One month, two months... after consuming 100 Fourth Rank soul treasures, Li Yuan exchanged for another batch.

Continued practice.

He gradually began to adapt; his willpower continued to improve under such crazy tempering, and his soul, under such day-after-day squeezing, finally began to transform.
