Chapter 411

"Is it really the Ruler?" Jiang Xuan was shocked inwardly.

Her talent was not bad; having cultivated for only a few decades, her comprehension of laws was so high that she could become a Demigod at any time, and in the future, she even had a glimmer of hope of becoming a Void God. Plus, her father was King Jiang Wu... it could be said that her status in the royal family was quite high.

Thus, she had made Jiang Lei afraid back then.

But even so, from birth until now, she had never seen the "Founding Ancestor" of her divine kingdom; she had only seen many images and portraits.

Coupled with the terrifying aura radiated by True God Jiang Yuan, she had some guesses.

"Big Brother Xu," Jiang Xuan couldn't help but look at Li Yuan.

She probably understood in her heart that she had fallen into a killing trap just now and was able to survive, probably relying on Li Yuan.

"Jiang Xuan," Li Yuan said in a low voice: "This is the True God Jiang Yuan of your Abyss Nation, the Founding Ruler."

"Jiang Xuan, I pay my respects to the Ancestor," Jiang Xuan hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"You are named Jiang Xuan, the daughter of that little fellow Jiang Wu?" True God Jiang Yuan looked down at Jiang Xuan.

"Yes," Jiang Xuan said obediently.

Jiang Wu was her father's name.

"Jiang Wu was quite good; it's a pity," True God Jiang Yuan shook his head.

He had many bloodline descendants, but over ten thousand years, not many could become Void Gods. Jiang Wu being able to become a peak Void God was already quite remarkable; he had been summoned by him several times and even received guidance.

It's a pity he fell not long ago.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel dim; she actually didn't see her father many times, but he had always been the object of her reverence.

"Your elder brother is Jiang Shan? It shouldn't be difficult for him to reach your father's level in the future, and there is hope for him to reach the True God realm. Your talent is also not bad," True God Jiang Yuan said lightly: "Your lineage is indeed not bad."

"Thank you, Ancestor, for the praise," Jiang Xuan felt happy inwardly.

Ancestor!

What kind of existence was that? One must know that Juexing Continent is called the three thousand divine kingdoms, and there are strong and weak ones, and without a doubt, the Abyss Nation is a first-class kingdom, famous and prestigious; all of this is because of True God Jiang Yuan.

"I saved you from the Blood Cave, not because you are the royal family of the divine kingdom," True God Jiang Yuan said: "But because Xu Yuan spoke up. If you want to thank someone, thank him."

"Big Brother Xu?" Jiang Xuan's heart trembled; it was indeed so.

She also felt quite shocked inwardly: "What kind of person is Big Brother Xu? To be able to make the Ancestor treat him like this, could it be that he is a disciple of an existence that transcends True Gods?"

She couldn't guess Li Yuan's identity.

"From now on, Xu Yuan will join my Abyss Nation and become a member of my Abyss Nation's Divine Fire Palace," True God Jiang Yuan continued: "Do not reveal his relationship with me; do you understand?"

"Yes, Jiang Xuan understands," Jiang Xuan said quickly.

She felt more and more puzzled; with such strength and status, why would Li Yuan want to join a divine kingdom?

But Jiang Xuan didn't dare to ask more.

"Fine, you may leave on your own," True God Jiang Yuan said: "When you arrive at the Royal Capital and the Divine Fire Palace updates the roster, you can contact Xu Yuan again."

Jiang Xuan nodded and bowed to Xu Yuan again: "Big Brother Xu, then we will meet again in the Royal Capital."

"Good," Li Yuan nodded.

Swoosh!

Jiang Xuan turned into a stream of light and flew rapidly toward the city at the end of the heaven and earth.

She didn't ask about the whereabouts of Xu Guo and the others; from her own encounter, she understood that those servants were probably in great danger.

Ask True God Jiang Yuan? That the Ancestor could save her was already because Big Brother Xu spoke up.

To pursue the question further would be not knowing the times.

Li Yuan and True God Jiang Yuan watched Jiang Xuan go away in the void.

"Junior Brother, my idea is to arrange for you to become a member of the Abyss Nation's 'Divine Fire Palace.' I will also forge a set of data that you come from the Abyss Nation and grew up in the Abyss Nation all the way. In this way, you will have identity data that can withstand investigation by any force," True God Jiang Yuan looked at Li Yuan: "What do you think?"

"Then I will trouble Senior Brother," Li Yuan thanked him.

Having solved the identity issue, he could walk around Juexing Continent with peace of mind.

"Hoo!"

True God Jiang Yuan waved his hand again, and a crystal stone radiating light flew out: "Since you just arrived at Juexing Continent, I fear you don't know much about the situation of the entire continent. This crystal contains some common sense information about Juexing Continent... I cannot tell you some of the most secret news."

"But it is enough to make you understand Juexing Continent," True God Jiang Yuan said: "Use it now."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up; he reached out and took it, his spiritual sense surged into the crystal, and immediately a large amount of information appeared in his mind.

Incomparably massive information.

Fortunately!

Li Yuan's soul was not what it used to be, and his speed of receiving information far exceeded the past; in just a few minutes, he had already received all the information.

"Three Ancient Star Cities."

"Six Great Sacred Grounds! Three thousand kingdoms..." Li Yuan finally had enough understanding of Juexing Continent.

Vast and broad.

Heavenly Gods stand at the peak, either manipulating the continent in the dark or heading to the even more vast and broad Divine Domain.

True Gods often command a large number of gods, launching great wars on the continent, conquering vast territories, and calling themselves kings and hegemons.

Unceasing for hundreds of millions of years.

"Juexing Divine Pill!"

"Ancestral World."

"Three Ancient Star Cities." Li Yuan had keenly grasped the core of the complex intelligence; all the grievances and entanglements of the entire Juexing Continent revolved around these three things.

"That's right!"

"According to the teacher, the most special place in this world of ours compared to the Divine Domain is the Juexing Divine Pill. This is a characteristic of Juexing Continent, and it also makes the Stellar Pulses of the powerhouses in this world generally stronger," True God Jiang Yuan praised: "The origin of the Juexing Divine Pill... is the Ancestral World! How it was specifically born is a mystery; even the teacher doesn't know. I fear only the 'City Lords' of the three Ancient Star Cities can know."

Li Yuan listened.

True God Jiang Yuan's intelligence only said that the Juexing Divine Pill is very magical; how did it come? It's a mystery.

"Three Ancient Star Cities."

"They are the masters of the entire heaven and earth. Their City Lords are Heavenly Gods generation after generation. Once they use the inheritance artifact... their strength will soar to a terrifying level, which other Heavenly Gods cannot compare to, and this also establishes the status of the Ancient Star Cities," True God Jiang Yuan said: "If major divine kingdoms want to rule stably, they must pay a large amount of treasures to the Ancient Cities and will also send their own elites to the Ancient Cities for cultivation... the six Great Sacred Grounds are not as good as the Ancient Cities."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

The six Great Sacred Grounds are the major forces on Juexing Continent second only to the three Ancient Star Cities, and they were all founded by Heavenly Gods... of course, whether these Sacred Grounds still have Heavenly Gods sitting in them today is also a mystery.

On Juexing Continent, Heavenly Gods do not easily make a move.

"Like the teacher, he was once an enemy of a Heavenly God of 'Changqing Ancient City'," True God Jiang Yuan sighed: "In that battle, the Changqing Ancient City Lord participated in the war, using the inheritance artifact... fighting two against one, the teacher was defeated and left."

Li Yuan felt enlightened.

Juexing Ancient City, Changqing Ancient City, Sky Snake Ancient City... among the three Ancient Star Cities, the first two are dominated by the human race, while the last one is dominated by powerhouses of various divine beast groups.

"Of course."

"Both sides are actually not mortal enemies; it's just for fighting over treasures, so you don't need to worry too much," True God Jiang Yuan laughed: "Besides, if that Heavenly God wants to make a move, I will be the first to bear the brunt."

"This is also the reason why I don't expose that you and I are senior and junior brothers," True God Jiang Yuan said: "As long as you don't reveal it yourself, no one will know."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

If the sky falls, True God Jiang Yuan will hold it up, so he is not afraid.

"One key reason I let you become a member of the Abyss Nation."

"Is that my Abyss Nation is one of the core divine kingdoms of Juexing Ancient City and has recommendation quotas for entering the 'Heaven-Flying Hall' and 'Demigod Hall' of Juexing Ancient City," True God Jiang Yuan said: "There are only three months left until the next round of recruitment for reserve members by Juexing Ancient City. I will give you a quota... with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the final assessment of Juexing Ancient City."

"Once you pass, you will be a reserve member of Juexing Ancient City."

"At that time, you won't need to ask me about many things; you will be able to handle them yourself," True God Jiang Yuan smiled: "Among the three Ancient Star Cities, Juexing Ancient City is the first, and there are many rare resources inside prepared specifically for Heaven-Flying levels and Demigods... I fear they are hard to obtain even in the Divine Domain. How much you can get depends on your own ability."

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Yuan sighed sincerely.

It is easy to get things done when there are people in the court.

With True God Jiang Yuan's help, he indeed had many fewer troublesome things.

"The greatest opportunity in this world of ours is the Ancestral World Token."

"My timing was wrong back then, so I couldn't get it."

"There are only twelve years left until the next War of the Ancestral World," True God Jiang Yuan said: "Although your talent is high, your cultivation time is short, so I fear it will be difficult to seize it... in short, Junior Brother, I will try my best to help you."

"But whether you can succeed, the key is still yourself," True God Jiang Yuan shook his head: "The War of the Ancestral World relies on one's own strength."

"Senior Brother has helped me enough," Li Yuan laughed.

Li Yuan faintly understood.

True God Jiang Yuan arranging it this way, perhaps he also had the idea of testing him... even if he showed extremely high talent, it wouldn't be so easy to become a Heavenly God.

"Let's go."

"Go to the Abyss Nation Royal Capital," True God Jiang Yuan waved his hand, and a warship suddenly appeared in the void.

A True God artifact; Li Yuan sensed it immediately.

Hum~ the cabin door opened.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Li Yuan followed True God Jiang Yuan and immediately flew into the warship. Following that, the warship started and turned into a silver light; the speed had already reached an unimaginable level.

"Li Yuan, the speed of this warship has exceeded one thousand kilometers per second," Senior Gu You's voice sounded.

Li Yuan was secretly shocked.

Flying over a thousand kilometers per second? This speed is too exaggerated; as expected of a True God limit powerhouse.

Moreover, the current speed of the warship might not be the limit.

Inside the warship's quiet room.

Li Yuan and True God Jiang Yuan were both sitting cross-legged quietly.

"I didn't expect."

"Among the three Ancient Star Cities, one is actually the Sky Snake Ancient City. According to the intelligence Senior Brother Jiang Yuan gave me, it seems to be controlled by the Sky Snake Tribe," Li Yuan thought to himself: "I didn't expect the Sky Snake Tribe to still have a heritage in this world... it's truly sigh-inducing."

Involuntarily, Li Yuan thought of a possibility.

"Little Bing, could she have been teleported to the area where the Sky Snake Ancient City is?" Li Yuan had a trace of expectation in his heart.

Currently.

Perhaps because they are too far apart, Li Yuan cannot sense Liu Bing's soul aura for the time being.

After flying for several hours and crossing over ten million miles of land, the warship finally arrived at the Abyss Nation Royal Capital.

The warship passed directly through the restrictions and entered the interior of the Royal Capital, its speed constantly decreasing sharply.

"Junior Brother."

"This is my token; if you encounter anything, you can send a message to me," True God Jiang Yuan laughed: "If you encounter life danger, you can crush the token... I will know immediately."

"However, I hope you will try your best not to crush the token."

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Yuan nodded. If he crushed the token, it would mean he couldn't stop the danger, and in a sense, it would also be a failure of the trial... he feared the other party would be very disappointed.

After putting away the token.

Hoo! Hoo!

Li Yuan followed True God Jiang Yuan and flew out of the warship; from here, he could overlook the full view of the Abyss Nation Royal Capital.

"What a big city," Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

Looking around, the entire Royal Capital probably occupied an area of over ten thousand kilometers in radius; even with his eyesight, he faintly couldn't see the edge.

It can be called vast!

Perhaps there are no technological products on Juexing Continent, but in terms of prosperity, no city in the Seven Star Civilization can catch up to the Abyss Nation Royal Capital.

"Junior Brother, don't be too surprised."

"Powerhouses mostly move rapidly for their own sense of security, and their residences often occupy a large area," Senior Gu You transmitted: "This Abyss Nation Royal Capital probably has more than one True God, and there are even more Void Gods and Demigods... in the Divine Domain, many True God powerhouses occupy a planet as their old nest."

Li Yuan felt enlightened.

Void Gods are rare in the mortal domain; some of his cognition indeed needs to change.

Hoo!

A purple-robed old man flew over from not far away.

"Ruler," the purple-robed old man bowed respectfully.

"Xu Yuan, this is the Divine Fire Palace Master, 'Void God Shaxi'," True God Jiang Yuan said.

"I have met Senior Shaxi," Li Yuan bowed respectfully.

"Hello," Void God Shaxi smiled and nodded; he still couldn't grasp Li Yuan's identity and didn't dare to address him rashly.

"Shaxi," True God Jiang Yuan said again: "Xu Yuan was entrusted to me by a good friend, so let him join the Divine Fire Palace. Give him one of the quotas for the Heaven-Flying realm to head to Juexing Ancient City three months later."

"The quota to head to the Ancient City?" A trace of surprise flashed in Void God Shaxi's eyes: "Ruler, these quotas have already been selected."

True God Jiang Yuan frowned: "I said, give Xu Yuan a quota."

"Yes, I will go handle it immediately," Void God Shaxi said immediately.

"In addition, do not reveal my relationship with Xu Yuan; do not tell anyone who asks," True God Jiang Yuan said: "Treat Xu Yuan the same as other normal Heaven-Flying members; no need to manage him much."

"Subordinate understands," Void God Shaxi said; he realized the Ruler valued the young man before him very much.

"Xu Yuan, you follow Void God Shaxi," True God Jiang Yuan instructed.

Immediately.

Hoo!

True God Jiang Yuan took a step and disappeared into the heavy clouds and mist; at the end of the clouds and mist, one could faintly see a towering palace.

That is the Abyss Nation Imperial Palace, and also True God Jiang Yuan's residence; ordinary Void Gods are not qualified to approach it.

"Xu Yuan, follow me," Void God Shaxi smiled; he realized the young man's identity before him should be extraordinary.

What kind of existence is the Ruler.

He is the existence second only to Heavenly Gods on the entire continent... entrusted by a good friend? What kind of good friend could make the Ruler value him so much?

However, with True God Jiang Yuan's instructions, he didn't dare to ask more.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two shuttled through the clouds and mist in the void.

"Xu Yuan, ordinary Demigods cannot shuttle through the clouds and mist in the Royal Capital; they can only fly along the streets," Void God Shaxi said: "One must be a god, or a core member of my Abyss Nation, to shuttle through various forbidden areas."

"Divine Fire Palace members all belong to the core layer."

"In my Abyss Nation, one force is the royal family, and one force is the Ten Thousand Gods Palace and the Divine Fire Palace," Void God Shaxi explained.

Li Yuan listened.

He had already known these things; the royal family is the foundation of the Abyss Nation and are all bloodline descendants of True God Jiang Yuan, but the number of gods is actually not large, and there are only a dozen or so Void Gods.

And the Ten Thousand Gods Palace is the guest gods who joined the Abyss Nation; among them, there are several True Gods, and even more than a thousand Void Gods... one can see True God Jiang Yuan's terrifying strength.

Ordinary True Gods wouldn't have so many Void Gods following them.

This doesn't even include the power True God Jiang Yuan can mobilize in Juexing Ancient City.

The Divine Fire Palace is the Heaven-Flying level and Demigod level geniuses within the Abyss Nation... it implies that everyone who joins the Divine Fire Palace should aim to ignite the divine fire.

Not long after.

The two arrived at an extremely vast palace; at the entrance, there were two Demigods leading a large group of Heaven-Flying levels guarding it.

"Palace Master," many guards bowed.

"This is the new member of my Divine Fire Palace, 'Xu Yuan'," Void God Shaxi pointed at Li Yuan and said lightly: "He will be directly ranked tenth on the Heaven-Flying List; do you all understand?"

"Directly ranked tenth on the Heaven-Flying List?" This group of guards was secretly shocked.

"I have met Young Master Xu Yuan," these guards bowed one after another, and even the two Demigod commanders were no exception.

Li Yuan nodded to acknowledge.

After entering the Divine Fire Palace, Void God Shaxi introduced them to Li Yuan one by one; there were many places to assist in cultivation, places for lectures... clearly, as a place for the Abyss Nation to cultivate geniuses, the environment of the Divine Fire Palace was extremely good.

"Xu Yuan."

"Next, until you head to Juexing Ancient City, you will live in this palace residence," Void God Shaxi said: "If you have anything, come find me again."

"In addition, every Divine Fire Palace member, the first time they rank in the top ten of the Heaven-Flying List or the top ten of the Demigod List, will receive a gift."

"I will arrange for someone to send your gift later," Void God Shaxi said.

"Thank you, Senior," Li Yuan said, and immediately turned into a stream of light and flew into the rather luxurious residence.

There were many servants in the residence, including two Heaven-Flying levels, and the rest were Source Martial Artists.

"I pay my respects to the Master," these servants bowed one after another; they had already received the message just now.

"Everything in the residence is as usual; no need to manage me," Li Yuan said: "If there is no important matter, do not come to disturb me."

"Yes," many servants bowed.

These servants were arranged by the Divine Fire Palace; Li Yuan could order, scold, or even kill them.

Of course, if he killed a servant arranged by the Divine Fire Palace, he would also have to pay a fine in Divine Crystals.

"I am only a passerby in this Divine Fire Palace, so no need to manage much," Li Yuan thought to himself, flying into the "Quiet Room" deep in the residence.

Rapidly.

Li Yuan initially refined the core of the residence in the quiet room and directly started the "Source Power Guardian Array" of the entire residence.

Li Yuan had already sensed it.

The technological creations of Juexing Continent are very average, but in the application of Source Power secret patterns, they far exceed the Seven Star Civilization. In the Abyss Nation Royal Capital, one can almost sense the existence of Source Power arrays everywhere.

"This quiet room is indeed well-prepared," Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform in the quiet room, feeling his heart calm down rapidly.

The quiet room door closed slowly.

"Continue cultivating," Li Yuan closed his eyes and continued to ponder the fourth form of the "Boundary Cloud Spear" he had just comprehended.

... Outside Li Yuan's residence.

"I just ordered those guards to bow."

Void God Shaxi thought to himself: "Later, Marquis Huan Zhen will probably receive the news, so it won't count as me reminding her."

He, the dignified Divine Fire Palace Master, would not do meaningless actions.

"Her only son had his quota snatched; this matter is not easy to fool," Void God Shaxi felt a bit helpless.

Juexing Ancient City recruits a batch of reserve members every twenty years.

And the Abyss Nation has a total of twenty recommendation quotas, ten quotas for the Heaven-Flying level and ten quotas for the Demigod level.

Therefore, the opportunity is very rare, and many big shots of the Abyss Nation will stare at the quotas.

These twenty quotas, on the surface, only look at the level of strength.

But private background relationships are also very important.

To get a quota for her son, Marquis Huan Zhen spent no small price.

"If the Ruler had ordered it directly, it would be fine, and Marquis Huan Zhen couldn't say anything," Void God Shaxi thought to himself: "But the Ruler didn't even allow me to spread the news."

"And the Ruler directly ordered him to be added to the list, rather than through a competition... I fear this Xu Yuan's strength is just so-so," Void God Shaxi speculated: "I hope he can hold on."

"If he can't hold on, it's not my fault; anyway, the Ruler ordered me not to manage much," Void God Shaxi shook his head, took a step, and disappeared on the square outside the residence.

Void God Shaxi didn't know that True God Jiang Yuan thought Li Yuan's strength was strong and there was no need to go through some processes.

After cultivating in the residence for less than two hours, Li Yuan received a message from a servant.

The gift for ranking in the top ten of the Heaven-Flying List had arrived.

"One hundred Divine Crystals."

"Ten Juexing Divine Pills?" Li Yuan looked at the gift specially delivered by three Demigods, feeling joy in his heart.

One hundred Divine Crystals are not important; he just obtained twenty thousand Divine Crystals from the Abyss Demon Blood Cave.

But ten Juexing Divine Pills were bestowed at once?

"That's right."

"The top ten of the Divine Fire Palace's Heaven-Flying List basically represent the most top-tier geniuses among the Heaven-Flying levels of the Abyss Nation; it's normal to receive ten Juexing Divine Pills," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Just right to try this Juexing Divine Pill and see what is so magical about it."

He put the gift into his storage treasure.

Li Yuan returned to the quiet room again, started the Source Power array, and his heart calmed down rapidly.

"Juexing Divine Pill." Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a pill that was covered in purple patterns and radiated a strange fragrance appeared in his palm.
