Chapter 425: The Hostility of the Black Blade True God (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Li Li Yuan did not obtain the Dream Realm Stone or the Heart Illusion Flower.

But the "Six Realms of Heart Illusion" had detailed descriptions of their effects, and Li Li Yuan compared them, feeling that the effect of the Divine Palace Sun was better and more perfect.

"If I didn't have the 'Six Realms of Heart Illusion' and directly used the Divine Palace Sun to temper my inner heart without any control, the Divine Palace Sun would stir up many desires in my heart, making the difficulty of the illusion hard to control... causing me to face the danger of getting lost."

"But cultivating the 'Six Realms of Heart Illusion,' the higher-level meditation method contained in this Divine Palace Sun seems, in the dark, as if it were prepared for the 'Six Realms of Heart Illusion'." Li Li Yuan didn't know whether he should feel fortunate.

His luck seemed exceptionally good.

"Never mind."

"Continue cultivating. Before it was joy, now perhaps I should try the illusion of anger." Li Li Yuan's heart stirred, and his consciousness had already entered the Heart Spirit Divine Palace again.

……

"Little Li Yuan, no mommy, can't run, big fool."

"Little Li Yuan, no mommy..." A group of seven or eight-year-old children laughed wantonly, surrounding the physically weak little boy and shouting constantly.

Li Li Yuan carried his little schoolbag, clutching his little fists, tears swirling in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.

He didn't want to scream either.

He knew that if he cried, if he screamed, this group of annoying little boys would be even happier.

He didn't dare to resist either, because his body was poor; how could he resist?

"What are you all doing?" Suddenly, a scolding voice rang out, immediately scaring the group of children into fleeing.

"Little Li Yuan, it's okay, don't listen to their nonsense." Aunt Chen Hui ran over quickly and hugged Li Li Yuan into her arms.

"Aunt, I'm not a fool." Li Li Yuan finally couldn't help but burst into tears.

Grievance, anger, all kinds of emotions rushed into Li Li Yuan's heart.

"You're not a fool, our Little Li Yuan is the smartest." Chen Hui comforted him constantly: "These classmates are also... I'll call your teacher, Mr. He, in a while..."

…… In class, a classmate was criticized, and he immediately refused to accept it, saying: "Li Li Yuan did it too before, why not criticize him?"

Li Li Yuan in the back row looked stunned.

…… On an internet forum, watching a martial arts powerhouse he liked blame himself for not being able to save more people, and being seriously injured himself, only to be slandered and smeared by a group of keyboard warriors...

……

In class, listening to the teacher talk about the Battle of Flying Stars, seeing all kinds of video materials and footage of the Wan Mo Civilization killing their way into Flying Stars and carrying out crazy slaughter, Li Li Yuan felt bursts of anger welling up in his heart...

In the Mingxu Star Realm, watching Liu Jing rush into Flying Snake Valley...

The tide of Fish Spirits in Zha Jiang City, fighting side by side with his teacher Xu Bo for the first time, only to watch his teacher's life gradually reach its end...

Countless past experiences regarding "anger" surfaced in Li Li Yuan's mind at this moment.

Anger, unwillingness, resentment... hating himself for not being strong enough.

The illusion constructed by the Heart Spirit Sun was incomparably real.

It almost perfectly reproduced all kinds of experiences Li Li Yuan had had since childhood. In a state of complete immersion of consciousness, Li Li Yuan felt it personally, and his emotions fluctuated and changed with each layer of illusion.

"Joy is the many beautiful things I have experienced in my life, making me miss the world; it is the most precious memory deep in my heart... This life is for the pursuit of more joy."

"Anger makes me cultivate like a madman; it is the driving force of life's evolution, just not wanting to let many past regrets reappear." Li Li Yuan had some realization in his heart.

The seven emotions and six desires are the source of life.

The purpose of cultivating the "Six Realms of Heart Illusion" is not to remove emotions, but to have the practitioner face emotions directly, control emotions, and then use the emotional power contained in the heart to finally temper the most powerful will.

"Face joy and anger directly."

"Pursue joy without being addicted to joy; be angry when one should be angry, and also not be controlled by anger." Li Li Yuan's heart will also kept progressing under these layers of illusions and the cultivation of the "Six Realms of Heart Illusion."

However.

Joy and anger in illusion sound easy, but wanting to truly control them is by no means a one-day task.

Only by experiencing enough can one truly do it.

……

The Realm of Nine Sounds came to an end.

But as the core of the vast land and the gathering place of gods, all kinds of events in the Li Yuan Kingdom capital kept emerging one after another, but they had little to do with Li Li Yuan anymore.

Number one on the Heaven-Flying Ranking, peak Heaven-Flying realm strength, god-level will... Anyone with a bit of brains would understand that the highest echelons of the Li Yuan Kingdom would definitely attach extreme importance to him, and his importance would even surpass Zha Jiang Shan's.

Li Li Yuan had been cultivating with a calm heart.

When his heart will cultivation was exhausted, he would comprehend spear techniques and deduce the mysteries of the laws.

When spear technique deduction hit a bottleneck, he would turn to trying to awaken Life Stars.

The breakthrough of will allowed Li Li Yuan to use more Awakening Star Divine Pills. He accumulated the total number of Awakening Star Divine Pills used to over 210 in one breath, only then reaching a new limit, making the ownerless Life Stars in the Life Star space more numerous.

However, he still hadn't been able to awaken the ninth Star Pulse.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, and the day to head to the Ancient Starry Sky City was getting closer and closer.

……

Awakening Star Continent, East Sea.

Here, there were countless islands scattered like stars, as well as many suspended cities and small worlds that had been opened up.

The entire East Sea was mostly controlled by the "East You Sacred Land," one of the six great sacred lands.

Black Blade Island.

It was called an island, but in reality, it spanned nearly ten million kilometers, was incomparably vast, and lived with hundreds of trillions of living beings. The entire island was ruled by the Black Blade Divine Kingdom.

In the eastern part of the island, amidst continuous clouds and mist, there was a large city with a radius of several thousand kilometers. Above the clouds and mist, in the continuous Divine Kingdom Imperial Palace, beauties were like clouds, and it was incomparably luxurious.

Suddenly, the central palace bloomed with layers of light.

"The Kingdom Lord."

"The Kingdom Lord is about to appear." Everyone in the entire imperial palace, those countless servants and beautiful attendants, understood.

Those who could come to the imperial palace were at least at the Heaven-Flying level. For example, there were thousands of beautiful Heaven-Flying realm concubines of the Kingdom Lord, and there was an astonishing number of male favorites...

"Pay respects to the Kingdom Lord." Respectful voices echoed throughout the entire imperial palace, and inside the central palace.

"Kingdom Lord." That group of Void God-level women, each one incomparably enchanting, many having astonishing powers of charm, were now as respectful as slaves.

"Cultivation requires focus recently, so I will spare you all. Everyone leave first." A wicked youth casually wrapped in a black robe sat on the high throne, emitting a rather fierce aura.

"Yes." Those Void God-level concubines finally breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

They all knew how cruel the Kingdom Lord was... every time they served him, even though they were all Void God-level, they would be ravaged until half-dead. If it were those Heaven-Flying level women outside the palace... more than 90% would die.

Over the long years, within the Divine Kingdom, more than ten thousand Heaven-Flying level women had died at the hands of the Kingdom Lord.

But no one could resist.

Because the Kingdom Lord belonged to an extremely powerful existence among True Gods, and was a big shot throughout the entire sacred land.

Ravaging a few female Heaven-Flying realm beings to death, what did that count for?

Soon, the many Void God concubines in the hall retreated. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several figures flew into the palace.

They were all Void Gods, but they didn't dare to look at the sides... they knew their Kingdom Lord's temperament.

"Kingdom Lord." Four Void Gods bowed respectfully.

"I have been in seclusion for more than a year this time." The Black Blade True God looked down at his subordinates, flipped his palm, and began to enjoy a cup of immortal brew, saying indifferently: "Report the things I asked you to handle to me one by one."

"Yes."

"Kingdom Lord, the news that you asked me to acquire many treasures has been passed on to thousands of True Gods and tens of thousands of Void God peaks in the sacred land. Many gods have come to trade, and some treasures have already..." The first Void God reported his task.

"Not bad, speed up, finish it within five years as soon as possible." The Black Blade True God said indifferently.

His large-scale trading of all kinds of treasures was related to his own cultivation.

Soon, the first three Void Gods finished reporting.

"Kingdom Lord, this is some important intelligence that has happened on the Awakening Star Continent in the past year or so." The last black-robed Void God said respectfully: "The Ancient City of Changqing is holding a large-scale genius selection, which should be in preparation for the new session of the Ancestral Realm Battle."

"In the western region of the continent, True God Gui Suo and..."

"……"

"In the Ancient City of Heaven Snake, a new Heaven-Flying level being with the Saint Blood Heaven Snake bloodline was born. It is said that he has entered the 'Heaven Snake Sacred Realm' for cultivation, but the specific details are unknown." The black-robed Void God said.

"Heaven Snake bloodline? This bloodline has disappeared for so many tens of thousands of years, and another one popped up?" The Black Blade True God was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, that is a matter for the Sacred Lord to consider. If there is anything to worry about, it should be the other two ancient cities. Next piece of intelligence."

Each piece of important intelligence was something that could slightly influence the situation of the entire Awakening Star Continent.

But after all, only a year or so had passed, and no real major events had occurred.

"Kingdom Lord."

"The Li Yuan Kingdom in the eastern region, which you asked us to focus on, has recently had a peerless genius emerge who should belong to the 'Saint Child level'." The black-robed Void God said: "We have collected key intelligence on him. He should be under fifty years old, a local of the Li Yuan Kingdom, Heaven-Flying level, but already possesses peak Heaven-Flying realm strength..."

"This person is named Xu Li Yuan, and he is currently number one on the Heaven-Flying Ranking of the Divine Fire Palace in the Li Yuan Kingdom."

The black-robed Void God quickly explained Li Li Yuan's situation.

"Saint Child level genius?"

"Under Zha Jiang Li Yuan's command? Bullshit!!" Killing intent flashed in the Black Blade True God's eyes: "He has ruled the Li Yuan Kingdom for tens of thousands of years, and this is the first time a genius of this level has been born, right?"

On the Awakening Star Continent, a so-called Saint Child level genius refers to a peerless genius who will definitely become a True God as long as they don't die.

Most geniuses, like Zha Jiang Shan, Wu Wu Beihong, and their ilk, when they were at the Heaven-Flying/Half-God level, no one dared to say they would definitely become True Gods.

"Yes." The black-robed Void God said: "In the Ancient City of Awakening Star, the number of Half-God Saint Children has always fluctuated between five and twenty... on average, thirty Saint Children are born every thousand years."

"Synthesizing various intelligence, this Xu Li Yuan belongs to the stronger category among Saint Child level geniuses. In the intelligence judgment of the sacred land, there is more than a 90% probability that he can become a peak True God... and a very small probability that he can become a Heaven God." The black-robed Void God said.

Every sacred land had its own intelligence agency.

The Black Blade True God, as the core of the East You Sacred Land, could naturally obtain quite a bit of free intelligence directly from the sacred land.

"What good luck!"

"Such a monster was actually born in the territory of that piece of trash Zha Jiang Li Yuan." The Black Blade True God's eyes were cold: "Has this Xu Li Yuan joined the Ancient City of Awakening Star?"

"Not yet." The black-robed Void God said: "There is still more than a month until the new round of reserve member recruitment for the Ancient City of Awakening Star."

"Good." Killing intent erupted in the Black Blade True God's eyes: "It's good that he hasn't joined yet."

He and True God Zha Jiang Li Yuan had a life-and-death feud, and both longed to kill each other... but because their strength was extremely strong and they belonged to different major forces, they had always been unable to do anything to each other.

"This Xu Li Yuan."

"He comes from the Li Yuan Kingdom and is highly valued. If he rises in the future, he will definitely help that piece of trash Zha Jiang Li Yuan with all his might, and sooner or later he will also be my enemy." The Black Blade True God had already developed killing intent in his heart: "It's better to strike first while he hasn't joined the Ancient Starry Sky City."

If Xu Li Yuan had already joined the Ancient Starry Sky City, the Black Blade True God would hesitate.

Because once Li Li Yuan became a Saint Child, if he made a move again, it would be a provocation to the Ancient Starry Sky City.

But he hadn't joined yet? Even if he made a move in secret, the Heaven Gods of the Ancient Starry Sky City wouldn't necessarily make a move against him.

"I go personally? No!"

"In the capital of the Li Yuan Kingdom, once discovered, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out alive." The Black Blade True God pondered.

His strength was originally a bit weaker than True God Zha Jiang Li Yuan's, and entering the other party's lair was extremely dangerous.

"Ask other True Gods?" The Black Blade True God had many thoughts flash through his heart.

A True God making a move could theoretically kill Xu Li Yuan in one strike.

But any outside True God entering the capital of the Li Yuan Kingdom would immediately be watched, making it hard to make a move.

The key was that few True Gods were willing to provoke True God Zha Jiang Li Yuan, and those who dared to make a move would ask for an extremely high price.

"Better to use a Void God." The Black Blade True God made a decision; he had quite a few Void Gods under his command.

"A Void God, as long as they find an opportunity, killing a little Heaven-Flying level guy is also a piece of cake."

Only an hour later.

The few Void Gods who had reported the news had left, followed by an old man wrapped in a gray robe, emitting a thick aura of twilight, who entered the palace in the center of the imperial palace.

"Star Cicada, pay respects to the Kingdom Lord." The gray-robed old man bowed respectfully.

"Star Cicada, you have lived for more than four thousand years, right?" The Black Blade True God looked down at the gray-robed old man.

"Reporting to the Kingdom Lord, I have cultivated for more than 4,900 years, and I am not far from the limit of my lifespan." The gray-robed old man said: "The Kingdom Lord has been quite kind to me and helped me a lot, but breaking through from Void God to True God is indeed extremely difficult. I have disappointed the Kingdom Lord."

The path of cultivation gets harder the further one goes.

For a Void God to break through to True God, there are requirements in many aspects such as law comprehension, Star Pulses, soul will, etc... Among a thousand Void Gods, it is hard for even one to break through to True God.

"I can't help you anymore if you want to break through to True God." The Black Blade True God said slowly: "But I remember that among your bloodline descendants, there is a little guy named 'Star Ying' whose talent is not bad."

"The Kingdom Lord knows Star Ying?" Star Cicada Void God was stunned, and many thoughts flashed through his heart.

He knew very well that with the Kingdom Lord's temperament, suddenly summoning him must have a reason.

"I can help Star Ying and get her a spot in the 'Nether Dragon Realm' from the sacred land." The Black Blade True God said slowly.

Star Cicada Void God was shocked.

The Nether Dragon Realm was an extremely important treasure land in the East You Sacred Land, and ordinary Half-Gods couldn't enter it.

Half-God Star Ying was a leader among his bloodline descendants, but looking at the countless Half-Gods in the entire East You Sacred Land, she was very inconspicuous.

"I don't know what the Kingdom Lord wants me to do?" Star Cicada Void God also calmed down.

When a person is about to die, what he worries about most is his bloodline descendants... but for his family to give birth to another Void God in a short time is too difficult.

Once he dies, the status of the entire family will drop sharply.

"I want you to go to the capital of the Li Yuan Kingdom in the eastern region and kill a Heaven-Flying level being named 'Xu Li Yuan'." The Black Blade True God said slowly.

"Xu Li Yuan?" Star Cicada Void God had doubts in his eyes; he hadn't heard of him.

"This is intelligence about him." The Black Blade True God waved his hand, and an invisible fluctuation swept over, and a large amount of information had already rushed into Star Cicada Void God's mind.

Soon, Star Cicada Void God understood!

"In the lair of True God Zha Jiang Li Yuan."

"Kill the most peerless genius under his command?" Star Cicada Void God's expression was solemn.

That was the lair of a peak True God, known as the existence invincible under the Heaven Gods.

In the capital, there were several True Gods following him.

This mission was absolutely a death sentence.

As long as he dared to make a move in the capital of the Li Yuan Kingdom, he would definitely die... If his luck was worse, he might even be captured alive, which would be worse than death.

"Choose for yourself."

"If you are willing, even if you fail and die, I will protect your bloodline descendants. If you can successfully kill Xu Li Yuan, I can even promise to help Star Ying become a Void God." The Black Blade True God said indifferently: "But if you are not willing, then forget it."

"If you agree, I will only give you one month."

Star Cicada Void God's expression changed.

From the East Sea to the Li Yuan Kingdom, even if he could take a teleportation array... he had to set off immediately.

The Black Blade True God on the throne didn't urge him either. Making a peak Void God powerhouse willing to die was very difficult.

But he knew Star Cicada Void God extremely well and was very confident.

Half a sound.

"Good!" Star Cicada Void God said in a low voice: "Kingdom Lord, I am willing. I will definitely do my best to kill Xu Li Yuan... I only hope the Kingdom Lord will not forget his promise."

He didn't dare to ask the Black Blade True God to swear a law oath.

He could only place his hopes on the other party's credibility.

Fortunately, although the Black Blade True God acted domineeringly and wickedly, overall, he was still very trustworthy.

"Rest assured." The Black Blade True God said: "Then go do it as soon as possible... remember one thing, if that Xu Li Yuan joins the Ancient Starry Sky City, our agreement will be considered void, and you don't need to take action again."

"Yes."

Star Cicada Void God said respectfully, then left quickly. He still had to make some preparations.

That day, Star Cicada Void God left Black Blade Island.

……

The Awakening Star Continent was too vast, and there was no direct teleportation array between the East You Sacred Land and the Ancient City of Awakening Star territory.

A full half-month later.

Li Yuan Kingdom Capital.

A white-robed youth passed through the normal city gate and entered the interior of the Li Yuan Kingdom capital.

"Half-God?"

"A Half-God, looks very unfamiliar, the life aura has no record in the monitoring system, should be here for the first time." The two Void Gods of the monitoring array directly probed the white-robed youth's aura, but didn't pay much attention.

After all, the Li Yuan Kingdom capital was an important intersection on the Awakening Star Continent, and a large number of powerhouses came and went all year round.

Let alone a strange Half-God, even a strange Void God was very normal.

The white-robed youth entered the city smoothly.

"Go outside the Divine Fire Palace and rent a cave dwelling." A cold voice sounded in the white-robed youth's mind.

Star Cicada Void God was hiding in the cave dwelling magic treasure carried by the white-robed youth.

He was very cautious. Even though he hadn't appeared in the eastern region of the continent for over a thousand years, and had never fought with the gods of the Li Yuan Kingdom, he still didn't dare to enter the Li Yuan Kingdom capital directly.

If he were recognized as coming from the Black Blade Divine Kingdom and killed on the spot, that would be truly unjust.

Before entering the Li Yuan Kingdom capital, Star Cicada Void God had purchased intelligence through other channels and knew that Li Li Yuan mostly stayed in the Divine Fire Palace.

He only went out occasionally.

One day.

Two days.

Three days.

…… Star Cicada Void God was very patient at first, but as the days passed, he began to get impatient: "According to the intelligence, doesn't this Xu Li Yuan often go to the Realm of Nine Sounds?"

"How come he's about to leave the Ancient City of Awakening Star, but instead has been holed up in his mansion in the Divine Fire Palace?"

"I can't just break into the Divine Fire Palace."

Star Cicada Void God knew very well that the capital of the Li Yuan Kingdom was shrouded in a protective array. Once he made a move, he would immediately be monitored... he would have at most one or two seconds.

Therefore, only outside the Divine Fire Palace would there be an opportunity for assassination.

"Wait!"

"I don't believe it. In these last ten days, he can stay in the Divine Fire Palace the whole time." Star Cicada Void God thought to himself: "If there's really no opportunity... I can only give up."

Not assassinating, although he lost the opportunity for his family to give birth to another Void God, he himself could live for several more decades.

……

Divine Fire Palace, inside Li Li Yuan's mansion.

In an open space.

"Clatter~" Li Li Yuan held a common Half-God level long spear and was quietly cultivating his spear technique.

Having reached Li Li Yuan's realm, what the weapon is is not very important; what is important is the comprehension and application of laws. Therefore, just quietly cultivating and sensing the mysteries of heaven and earth is enough to continuously deduce and cultivate.

However, Li Li Yuan was used to practicing the spear, and every once in a while, he would practice his spear technique.

Practicing the spear was Li Li Yuan's habit, and it could also make his heart more peaceful.

Not far away, Ren Qing stood there respectfully, observing.

Li Li Yuan didn't care about this.

"Master's spear technique is truly mysterious. Clearly, I can't feel very deep law fluctuations, nor is there any Source Power fluctuation... but when that long spear streaks across the void, I feel my heart trembling." Ren Qing muttered secretly.

She had also entered the threshold of laws, but comparing her own moves to Li Li Yuan's spear technique, she knew what a peerless genius was.

She didn't know that Li Li Yuan's spear technique was now dominated by space laws, and space is formless... It was extremely difficult for ordinary Half-Gods to even sense spatial fluctuations.

Unless Li Li Yuan used powerful Source Power to trigger spatial fluctuations, otherwise, Half-Gods wouldn't be able to detect it, only feeling that Li Li Yuan's spear technique was incomparably sharp and mysterious.

Gradually.

Li Li Yuan's spear technique changed, and a hint of heaviness appeared in the sharp spear technique. Immediately after, an invisible law fluctuation shrouded Li Li Yuan and then diffused outward.

"Earth Law, finally crossed from the initial stage of the seventh segment to the middle stage of the seventh segment." Li Li Yuan smiled.

His spear technique was a combination of three great laws, now with spatial mysteries as the core.

But the breakthrough of the Earth Law, if it could be perfectly integrated into the spear technique, could also make the power of the spear technique go a step further.

"Wind, Earth, Space, the comprehension of the three great laws respectively broke through, and then continuously integrated into the spear technique, making the power of the spear technique stronger and stronger, eventually leading me to comprehend the fifth move of the 'Realm Cloud Spear'." Li Li Yuan thought to himself.

The fourth move of the "Realm Cloud Spear," in terms of the mystery of the moves, was at the initial Void God level.

If he could comprehend the fifth move, "Divine Weapon Intent," relying on this move, even among countless Void Gods, his moves wouldn't be considered weak.

Time passed, and Li Li Yuan continuously perfected his spear technique.

Suddenly.

"Hmm? Message from Void God Qian Huan." Li Li Yuan sensed a message coming from his transmission magic treasure. The content was very simple: "Xu Li Yuan, more than 90% of the treasures you requested have arrived, and that 'Void Illusion Rare Stone' has also been obtained. Come to the Realm of Nine Sounds quickly."

"The things have arrived? Finally, I can cultivate the 'Ten Thousand Shadows Void'." Li Li Yuan's eyes lit up. Without much hesitation, he put away his long spear and gave an instruction to Ren Qing in the distance.

Immediately after, he soared into the sky and left the Divine Fire Palace.
