Chapter 416: Spreading to All Parties! The Realm of Nine Sounds

"Born fifty years earlier?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "I haven't even lived for fifty years."

"Brother Xu, you are not even fifty years old?" Jiang Xuan's eyes flashed with a different color: "Doesn't that mean you are even younger than me?"

Jiang Shan's face also rarely showed surprise, saying: "Brother Xu Yuan, how old are you this year?"

"Thirty-something," Li Yuan said; he was actually only thirty years old.

This is not a big secret that needs to be hidden.

Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and these Demigods couldn't judge it, but for existences like the True God Jiang Yuan, as long as they observe carefully, they can peek at a trace of his life essence.

Like the True God Jiang Yuan, the first time they met, he directly judged that Li Yuan's age did not exceed forty.

If one uses some general treasures or special instruments, they can judge more accurately... therefore, in the intelligence given to Li Yuan by the True God Jiang Yuan, it was clearly stated that there was no need to deliberately hide his age.

The most critical point is that in the identity forged by the True God Jiang Yuan, it is based on Li Yuan's real age.

"Thirty-something?"

Yan Long, in a white robe, widened his eyes: "Brother Xu Yuan, compared to you, I, Yan Long, have lived for nearly three hundred years, truly lived like a dog."

"So young? I thought you had cultivated for at least sixty or seventy years," Baili Teng also sighed: "In the past, I thought Jiang Shan was talented enough, achieving so much at over a hundred years old, but Brother Xu... truly an incredible evildoer."

If the strength Li Yuan revealed just now gave them a fierce shock.

Then matching it with Li Yuan's age truly made their hearts tremble.

Especially Jiang Shan and Baili Teng, whose status was comparable to Void Gods, their vision was even more different.

"In this way."

"Brother Xu Yuan was indeed born at the wrong time," Baili Teng shook his head quite regretfully: "With Brother Xu's talent, never mind fifty years, even if he cultivated for thirty more years, even if he couldn't seize an Ancestral World Token, I think he would have hope of charging into the top hundred of the Battle of the Ancestral World."

He was indeed regretful for Li Yuan.

"Brother Baili, is the Battle of the Ancestral World that difficult?"

Jiang Xuan, on the side, was puzzled: "There are still twelve years left. If one crosses from Heaven-Flying to Demigod, the soul will undergo metamorphosis, and the speed of understanding the Laws will improve again."

"With Brother Xu's cultivation speed, why can't he compete in the Battle of the Ancestral World if he breaks through to Demigod as soon as possible?" Jiang Xuan said.

Jiang Xuan is a member of the imperial family, her vision is not low, but she is only a Heaven-Flying ranker after all, and doesn't need to participate in the Battle of the Ancestral World, so she doesn't know much about it.

"Little sister, you don't understand."

"The top geniuses in the Battle of the Ancestral World are beyond your imagination," Jiang Shan said quite solemnly: "Like your elder brother, as a Demigod, I can erupt with Void God initial-stage combat power... looking at the million Demigods of the Yuan Nation, it can be said that there are almost no rivals."

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but nod; her elder brother's strength was publicly acknowledged, and he had fought Void Gods more than once.

"However, I don't even have the confidence to charge into the top one thousand of the Battle of the Ancestral World," Jiang Shan said in a low voice.

"No confidence to charge into the top one thousand?" Jiang Xuan was stunned.

"The Awakening Star Continent is vast, and the starry sky is boundless, with countless powerhouses. Those Heaven-Flying rankers who are absorbed into the Awakening Star Ancient City are the top geniuses," Baili Teng also said quite solemnly: "Similarly, for Demigods with seven star veins, the difference in strength can also be huge. Some with extremely high understanding of the Laws can even reach the True God level."

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but gasp.

"Brother Xu Yuan is that kind of top genius," Baili Teng said: "It's a pity, the cultivation time is too short... after all, many powerful Demigods, clearly having extremely high understanding of the Laws, will stubbornly stay at the Demigod level for hundreds of years, or even five hundred years, just to obtain an Ancestral World Token."

"It's so unfair," Jiang Xuan shook her head: "It's unfair to all of you."

Among these few people, Baili Teng and Yan Long are older, but Baili Teng has only cultivated for over two hundred years.

"In this world, there is no absolute fairness."

"Luck is a part of strength," Jiang Shan smiled: "After this Battle of the Ancestral World ends, I will ask the Nation Lord for his opinion. If there is hope of competing for an Ancestral World Token, I will cultivate for another five hundred years."

"Five hundred years?" Jiang Xuan's mouth opened slightly.

To her, this is too long.

"I can't wait," Baili Teng looked at Li Yuan: "But with Brother Xu's age, he can completely wait for another session."

"Everything depends on fate, I haven't even become a Demigod yet," Li Yuan smiled: "Come, Brother Jiang Shan, Brother Baili, let's continue drinking."

"Right!"

"Continue drinking," Jiang Shan smiled: "The delicacies I ordered haven't all been served yet."

After this disturbance, although the music and dance in the center of the hall started again, many guests in the elegant rooms no longer had much interest, mostly talking about the battle that had just happened.

"That Leng Yan is usually so arrogant, yet today he bowed his head directly, and even took out a treasure worth over a thousand divine crystals to apologize."

"He seems arrogant, but he also looks at who he's dealing with; he never offends those who are truly powerful."

"That Xu Yuan's background is unknown, but relying on his own talent and strength, he is extremely terrifying," many Demigods whispered and discussed.

For these Demigods.

This event that happened today was much more interesting than the music and dance of the Absolute Sound Tower.

Many Demigods even used communication treasures to tell their good friends about what had just happened in the Absolute Sound Tower.

Inside Jiang Shan's elegant room.

With Li Yuan revealing his strength, the communication among everyone became increasingly harmonious.

Yan Long, who had been deliberately squeezing him out before, became the most enthusiastic one instead.

"I am a person who admires those with true ability. I had a misunderstanding about Brother Xu Yuan before, my fault," Yan Long's posture was very low, smiling: "I used to admire Prince Jiang Shan and Brother Baili... now, this list must add Brother Xu Yuan."

Li Yuan smiled indifferently.

He had already seen that this Yan Long was a person who changes with the wind.

However, one doesn't hit a smiling face, and since the other party apologized repeatedly, he didn't need to dwell on it.

As the communication deepened.

"Oh? In the next few days, various forces of the Yuan Nation will come to visit me?" Li Yuan listened to Jiang Shan's account, thoughtful.

"Yes!"

"If Brother Xu Yuan only had the strength of the top ten of the Heaven-Flying Ranking... the divine families within the divine nation wouldn't care too much," Jiang Shan said: "After all, normal top ten geniuses of the Heaven-Flying Ranking might not be able to become Void Gods."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

The Yuan Nation is vast, and there are over a thousand Void Gods stationed in the capital alone, and adding those scattered in various states and counties, the number is even greater.

A few more Void Gods or a few less Void Gods doesn't have much impact on the Yuan Nation.

"Today's battle, news about you will definitely spread. When various forces check your past, once they find out your age... all parties will determine that you will at least become a peak Void God, and even have a great hope of becoming a True God," Jiang Shan sighed: "Once you become a True God, the influence will be completely different."

"True God, the influence is a thousand times, ten thousand times that of a Void God," Jiang Shan said solemnly.

"Many forces in the Yuan Nation, they will definitely want to make friends with you, and even marry the women in their families to you as concubines, just to build a relationship with you," Baili Teng smiled.

"As concubines?" Li Yuan was stunned.

According to what Li Yuan knew, it seems to be the same in the Divine Domain.

"The legal partners of powerhouses are very rare. Like my father, who had dozens of children, but never had a true partner from beginning to end," Jiang Shan shook his head: "My mother was only a concubine of my father."

Jiang Shan didn't avoid this point.

Because this kind of thing is the norm on the Awakening Star Continent, it is common for super powerhouses to have thousands of concubines.

"Maybe there will be other divine nation forces, secretly communicating with you, wanting to invite you to join," Jiang Shan said: "After all, our Yuan Nation is one of the eighteen core divine nations of the Eastern Domain, and many forces have stations in the capital, which can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons. News about you will definitely spread rapidly."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

This point is also described in the intelligence given by the True God Jiang Yuan.

The Awakening Star Continent is divided into four domains: East, West, North, and South, and there are four seas, and there are countless life stars outside the sky...

Among the eight hundred divine nations of the Eastern Domain, eighteen divine nations are recognized by the Awakening Star Ancient City as core divine nations.

The Yuan Nation is one of them.

The most significant sign of becoming a core divine nation is that there are "teleportation arrays" built in the capital, which can not only teleport between core divine nations, but also teleport directly to the Awakening Star Ancient City.

In this way, the control of the Awakening Star Ancient City over the Eastern Domain is greatly strengthened.

No matter how the various divine nations fight and compete, they must ultimately submit to the Awakening Star Ancient City.

"In short."

"Brother Xu Yuan, after today, you will be a famous figure in the capital," Jiang Shan smiled: "But you don't need to take sides, just do your own thing... your future is destined to be boundless."

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Jiang Shan," Li Yuan smiled.

"The most important thing is to pay attention to safety," Baili Teng said: "No matter how dazzling you are, you are ultimately a member of our Yuan Nation. Some enemies of our Yuan Nation might secretly want to eliminate you, so you must be careful. If you want to leave the capital, try not to expose your whereabouts."

Li Yuan was thoughtful; he had expected this long ago.

Revealing talent and strength can get him recognized by major forces faster and get more cultivation resources.

But it is also inevitable that he will be involved in some storms.

Even within the Awakening Star Ancient City, it is not a monolithic block.

The eight hundred divine nations of the Eastern Domain will have fights and disputes, and when it is tragic, it will even set off a True God war... regarding this, the high-level of the Awakening Star Ancient City rarely cares.

Externally, the three major starry sky ancient cities and the six major holy lands are fighting.

Internally, they are also fighting.

"Today."

"I can be considered to have stirred up some storms," Li Yuan thought to himself: "But I must still be careful. Only by becoming a Demigod, when facing gods, can I have some power of self-protection."

Regarding his own strength, Li Yuan has self-knowledge.

"Brother Jiang Shan."

"I have something I want to ask," Li Yuan suddenly said: "Where can I get more Awakening Star Divine Elixirs?"

"Awakening Star Divine Elixirs?" Jiang Shan was surprised: "Brother Li Yuan, you haven't used the Awakening Star Divine Elixir to the limit yet? You still need more Awakening Star Divine Elixirs."

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

Baili Teng, Yan Long, and even Jiang Xuan were even more shocked in their hearts... the things Li Yuan revealed had time and again exceeded their understanding.

"I watched you perform star techniques just now, your divine body is so strong, I'm afraid it's a seven-star-vein cultivator performing a nine-fold body-refining technique," Jiang Shan's eyes changed when looking at Li Yuan: "But you haven't even used the Awakening Star Divine Elixir to the limit of your soul will... this!"

Jiang Shan shook his head and said: "Others say I am a genius, today I completely understand that there is someone beyond someone."

Immediately after.

Jiang Shan thought for a while and said: "On ordinary days, the Fire God Palace has many tasks, complete them to get rewards, and among them are those related to the Awakening Star Divine Elixir."

"But now, the Fire God Palace competition is over, there are no more tasks for the time being, and the Awakening Star Divine Elixir is a forbidden item, not allowed to be sold publicly, so it's very hard to obtain, even I don't have too many..." Jiang Shan said: "One way is for you to go directly to see the Void God Shaxi and ask for ten or twenty Awakening Star Divine Elixirs, it shouldn't be difficult."

Li Yuan said: "Are there any other ways?"

Ten or twenty? Too few.

"Jiang Shan, did you forget?"

"Three days later, it will be the day the Realm of Nine Sounds opens, with Brother Xu Yuan's strength, perhaps you can try," Baili Teng suddenly said: "If completed, you can ask the True God Nine Sounds for a batch of Awakening Star Divine Elixirs."

"Realm of Nine Sounds?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

What is it?

"Hahaha, right, we are in the Nine Sounds Tower today, I actually forgot about this," Jiang Shan smiled: "The Realm of Nine Sounds was established by the True God Nine Sounds, and it opens for three days every year in the Nine Sounds Tower."

"The Realm of Nine Sounds is also a major feature of the capital."

"Essentially, it is a place for testing established by the True God Nine Sounds, used for selecting disciples," Jiang Shan said: "Any citizen of the Yuan Nation, Heaven-Flying rankers and Demigods can enter and roam after paying a few divine crystals... Heaven-Flying rankers who pass the fifth realm, Demigods who pass the eighth realm, can receive a gift."

"If a Heaven-Flying ranker can pass the sixth realm, and a Demigod can pass the ninth realm, not only can they receive a gift, but they also have hope of being accepted as a disciple by the True God Nine Sounds," Jiang Shan said.

Accepted as a disciple by a True God? A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Famous teachers are hard to find.

A True God publicly accepting disciples is extremely rare.

"In this way, I'm afraid there are quite a few people coming to break through," Li Yuan said softly.

"That's not the case," Baili Teng shook his head: "A thousand years ago, the True God Nine Sounds established the 'Realm of Nine Sounds', and at the beginning, there were many people who went to break through, but after many times, fewer people went to break through."

"Why?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"Mainly because of the danger," Baili Teng said: "The True God Nine Sounds is actually a soul master, so the Realm of Nine Sounds she set up is specifically aimed at soul will, and has no necessary connection with strength... and involving the soul, a slight carelessness means falling."

"If one can't even pass the first three realms, the probability of falling is extremely high."

"Therefore, those who dare to break through are mostly confident people, so the number is naturally small."

"Even so, occasionally someone will fall," Baili Teng said: "The number of powerhouses who can pass the test is small, and those who can be accepted as disciples by the True God are even fewer... but as long as one can pass the test, the gifts are still very generous."

"Dangerous to others."

"But with Brother Xu Yuan's strength, passing the fifth realm shouldn't be difficult," Baili Teng said: "By then, whether you want some treasures, or Awakening Star Divine Elixirs, it should be very easy."

"Fine, I'll think about it," Li Yuan didn't care too much.

This Realm of Nine Sounds sounds a bit dangerous, and he doesn't intend to be an apprentice.

Just for the Awakening Star Divine Elixir, the significance is not great.

"Actually, the most powerful thing about the Realm of Nine Sounds is the tempering of soul will, and the many illusions in it are still very rare," Jiang Shan smiled: "I will also go and break through in a few days, which can be considered as testing myself, to see when I can pass the ninth realm."

"Brother Jiang Shan is also going to break through?" Li Yuan was puzzled.

"Not just him, I will also break through," Baili Teng smiled: "Actually, the top batch of geniuses in the Yuan Nation, those in the capital, will probably all go and break through, just to temper their soul will."

"Even, some geniuses from other divine nations will come specifically to try."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

The so-called danger is just the True God Nine Sounds filtering out those ordinary Heaven-Flying rankers and ordinary Demigods... for true geniuses, the probability of falling is instead very low.

"Three days later, I will also go and break through," Li Yuan changed his mind immediately.

Tempering soul will? He has always only practiced meditation, perhaps changing the way, he can gain something.

This banquet lasted for a long time.

Baili Teng and Yan Long left separately, while Jiang Shan and Jiang Xuan personally sent Li Yuan back to the Fire God Palace, before returning to the Mist Mountain Prince's Mansion.

Inside the Mist Mountain Prince's Mansion, Jiang Shan dismissed everyone.

"Little sister, you did very well this time."

Jiang Shan said: "Going to the Yuan Demon Blood Cave, actually able to win over such a peerless evildoer, I can see that Xu Yuan has quite a good impression of you."

"Today."

"We established friendship in advance before he revealed his strength, which is not bad," Jiang Shan looked at Jiang Xuan.

"Brother," Jiang Xuan shook her head: "My original intention was just to thank Brother Xu, if it weren't for him, I would have died in the Yuan Demon Blood Cave."

"Good."

"Having a grateful heart is correct," Jiang Shan smiled: "Tomorrow, you prepare another gift and go visit him."

Whoo!

Jiang Shan flipped his palm, and a jade bottle appeared out of thin air, flying toward Jiang Xuan.

"This is?"

Jiang Xuan was first puzzled, reached out to take it, and after a sweep of her spiritual sense, her expression changed slightly: "Awakening Star Divine Elixir? There are fifty here? Brother, do you have so many remaining Awakening Star Divine Elixirs?"

"For other Demigods, this thing is very precious, but for me, taking out dozens is easy." Jiang Shan shook his head.

"Then just now, why didn't you give it to Brother Xu directly?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask.

"I give it, how can it compare to you giving it?" Jiang Shan shook his head: "I observe this Xu Yuan, he is easygoing on the surface, but extremely arrogant in his bones, wanting to truly get his inner recognition is extremely difficult. Similarly, once he recognizes you as a good friend... when encountering trouble, he will probably also help with all his strength."

"Just like how you treat the servants around you, you treat them with heart, and at critical moments, they will also fight to protect you."

Jiang Shan said: "Brother, I am different from you, I treat Uncle Guo, Uncle Fang and the others from the bottom of my heart," Jiang Xuan stared at Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan smiled and didn't refute.

"Brother, doing this is too calculating," Jiang Xuan couldn't help but say: "Everything about you is good, it's just this point that is not good."

"Sometimes I wonder if you are also calculating me in some things," Jiang Xuan said.

"Silly girl," Jiang Shan shook his head and laughed: "Father is dead, you are the only relative I have in this world, how could I calculate you?"

"Fine, the Awakening Star Divine Elixir is given to you."

"Whether you give it or not, and how you give it, is up to you," Jiang Shan said: "I still have to go into seclusion to cultivate, you go back and rest too."

"Hmm, Brother, I'll go down first," Jiang Xuan bowed and turned to leave.

Watching Jiang Xuan disappear from his line of sight.

"Fine."

"Perhaps, only absolute sincerity can exchange for true heart," Jiang Shan's tenderness became fierce, muttering to himself: "Little sister, hope you can have one more protection."

"That way, when I take action in the future, I can have fewer scruples."

In Jiang Shan's heart, there was a great grudge hidden that no one knew about, concerning the death of his mother.

Even Jiang Xuan didn't know.

Jiang Shan didn't have deep feelings for his father, the Mist Mountain Prince; in a sense, it was the Mist Mountain Prince's initial mistake that led to his mother's death... and the Mist Mountain Prince had already fallen outside.

What Jiang Shan was most worried about before was his younger sister "Jiang Xuan," and many layouts in the dark were all for the sake of protecting Jiang Xuan.

Inside the palace in the depths of the Phantom Truth Marquis Mansion.

"Please punish me, Mother," Leng Yan said respectfully.

"You didn't do anything wrong, what is there to punish?" The woman in palace attire smiled: "Originally I thought Xu Yuan's strength was insufficient, which is why he ranked tenth in the Heaven-Flying Ranking... it was I who asked you to publicly challenge him."

"Who could have imagined he was so powerful?"

"Such a powerful Heaven-Flying ranker has never appeared in our Yuan Nation, I don't blame you, on the contrary, you handled it very well at the end, reconciling in time without offending him to death," the Phantom Truth Marquis praised.

Leng Yan listened.

"Yan'er, you indeed have no chance in the Heaven-Flying Ranking this time," the Phantom Truth Marquis said: "If you drag it out for another twenty years, it will be harmful to you instead. Break through to become a Demigod as soon as possible, I will arrange for you to go to the Eastern Nether Holy Land, perhaps it will be more beneficial for you there."

"Eastern Nether Holy Land?" Leng Yan was startled: "Mother, our Yuan Nation is a lineage of the Awakening Star Ancient City."

"Don't worry."

"I have already arranged everything," the Phantom Truth Marquis said: "If you cultivate step by step like this, it will be very difficult to become a Void God. Since you can't enter the Awakening Star Ancient City, only by entering the Holy Land will there be a glimmer of hope."

"You are a Heaven-Flying ranker, no one will pay attention to you," the Phantom Truth Marquis said: "It doesn't matter which side you belong to."

"Becoming a god is what matters," the Phantom Truth Marquis looked at Leng Yan.

"Yes, Mother," Leng Yan nodded heavily.

He understood that even with his mother's strength, wanting to directly obtain a spot in the Eastern Nether Holy Land, she must have paid a huge price.

The sparring in the Absolute Sound Tower, watched by hundreds of Demigods, spread rapidly as news traveled from ten to a hundred.

Actually, a sparring match between Heaven-Flying rankers is not eye-catching.

But the strength Li Yuan revealed was too exaggerated.

Whether it was the various forces within the Yuan Nation, or personnel from other divine nations stationed in the Yuan Nation capital, they all quickly obtained intelligence about him.

Awakening Star Divine Mountain, occupying several hundred kilometers, is a very special building in the Yuan Nation capital.

Because, it is the representative of the Awakening Star Ancient City in the Yuan Nation.

Those stationed in the divine palace are all powerhouses from the Awakening Star Ancient City, few in number, but each is an elite, and their deterrent power in the capital is extremely strong, with status even above the imperial family.

Deep in the continuous mountains, inside the courtyard.

"Jing Kui," a purple-robed Void God emitting a powerful aura looked at the intelligence he had just received and smiled: "It seems that the Yuan Nation has produced a peerless genius not inferior to you."

"Are you talking about Xu Yuan? I've seen him," the black-robed youth Jing Kui said casually: "He not only has good frontal strength, but his soul

Deep within the rolling mountain range, inside a courtyard.

"Jing Kui." A purple-robed Void God exuding a powerful aura looked at the intelligence he had just received and smiled: "It seems the Yuan Kingdom has produced a peerless genius no less than you."

"You mean Xu Yuan? I've seen him." The black-robed youth Jing Kui said casually: "Not only is his frontal strength decent, but his soul will is even more formidable... He is the most formidable Heaven-Flying level soul will I have ever seen."

"The most formidable?" The purple-robed Void God was surprised; he knew Jing Kui's strength well.

In the Ancient City of Awakening, he was recognized as a top genius of the younger generation, believed to have a great hope of seizing the Ancestral Realm Order.

This time, Jing Kui came to the Yuan Kingdom and had secretly seen many Yuan Kingdom geniuses, but even Jiang Shan did not quite catch his eye.

Yet, his evaluation of Xu Yuan was the highest.

"Whether he is formidable or not has no impact on me."

"In any case, after witnessing the Nine-Sound Realm, which is renowned throughout the Yuan Kingdom, in a few days, I will continue to wander to the next divine kingdom." Jing Kui smiled: "But if he can successfully join the Ancient City, Old Dong, perhaps you will have a great merit."

"Haha, Jing Kui, I'll take your auspicious words." The purple-robed Void God laughed.

He knew that Jing Kui's strength had reached an unfathomable level, not at all inferior to his own... Now traveling the continent and tempering his heart in the mortal world, once he took another step forward, he feared that as soon as he broke through, he would be a True God.

The Divine Fire Palace occupied a vast area.

In the highest palace, this was the residence of the Void God Shaxi.

"This Xu Yuan, his strength is actually this formidable? Defeating Ji Ming with one palm?" Void God Shaxi looked at the latest intelligence in his hand and felt incomparably shocked: "No wonder the Kingdom Lord ordered me to give him a spot directly."

"It was I who misunderstood; with this kind of strength, where is the need for an assessment?"

After a moment of thought.

Void God Shaxi directly issued an order: "Promote Xu Yuan's ranking in the Divine Fire Palace from tenth on the Heaven-Flying List to first on the Heaven-Flying List."
