Chapter 432

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan followed God Chiyang and left God Tai You's residence.

Just after entering the high altitude, Li Yuan had already successfully refined the Saint Son Token and immediately felt a massive amount of information surge into his mind.

It was all about the various permissions of a "Flying Saint Son," as well as a detailed introduction to the entire Juexing Ancient City.

Hum~

An invisible ripple swept directly across the world, instantly enveloping Li Yuan, causing the aura fluctuations Li Yuan emitted to become distinct.

"Refined the Saint Son Token?" God Chiyang revealed a smile; he noticed the subtle change in Li Yuan's aura.

This was not a change in soul aura, but rather—permission rank.

"Yes." Li Yuan could not help but nod, unable to resist asking: "Hall Master, are you at the ninth rank?"

According to the information Li Yuan received, members of the Ancient Star City have a total of eleven ranks, with the first rank being the lowest and the tenth rank being the highest.

The first rank is the lowest; all demigod-level deacons subordinate to Juexing Ancient City belong to the first rank.

Like the Void God-level Juexing Guards, they are generally at the second or third rank, while those serving as commanders are at the fourth rank.

Ordinary Void God-level members are generally at the fourth, fifth, or sixth rank, depending on their strength and contributions.

Reserve members below the god level all belong to the fourth rank, while Saint Sons belong to the sixth rank.

True God-level members are at least at the seventh rank.

Although Li Yuan is currently only a Flying-level Saint Son, the permission transmitted by the Saint Son Token places him at the seventh rank.

"Inside Juexing Ancient City, if you encounter a lower-ranked powerhouse, you will be able to sense their rank level."

"If you encounter a higher-ranked powerhouse, you can only sense that their rank is higher than your own. Whether to make their rank public... depends on whether the other party is willing. For example, I make my rank public," God Chiyang laughed: "Rank, in a sense, also reflects strength."

"Like the Yuan Nation you come from, True God Jiang Yuan is at the tenth rank; looking across the entire Juexing Ancient City, they are few and far between."

"Gods are all at the eleventh rank, which is the highest."

"You are just at the Flying level, yet you have the seventh rank; I don't know how many people will envy you," God Chiyang laughed: "At the very least, you already have the permission to enter most areas of Juexing Ancient City at will."

Li Yuan listened.

He already knew that Juexing Ancient City is divided into two major areas: the Outer City and the Inner City... One must be at the sixth rank to enter the Inner City area, and some secret forbidden grounds even require the seventh rank or higher.

Like the Divine Fire Hall, as a gathering place for a large number of reserve members, it belongs to the Outer City.

And like the Myriad Dharma Hall, it is in the Inner Domain.

"According to the rules."

"You can be assigned a Saint Son mansion in the Divine Fire Hall and can cultivate in the Divine Fire Hall," God Chiyang said: "At the same time, you can also apply to have a separate palace in the Outer City... or you can cultivate alone on the side; it's all up to you."

"Hall Master, let's go to the Divine Fire Hall first," Li Yuan said.

If he doesn't apply for an independent palace now, he can apply later, so there is no need to rush.

"Fine," God Chiyang said: "Then let's go to the Divine Fire Hall first... I will introduce it to you in detail."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two shuttled through the clouds and mist; with Li Yuan's current permission, he could also freely shuttle through the sky above Juexing Ancient City.

Not long after.

God Chiyang and Li Yuan arrived at a mountain range area stretching for thousands of kilometers, where there were some super-large palaces and small courtyards.

The entire mountain range was incomparably beautiful, filled with mist, and rich in Yuan force aura.

"This is the Divine Fire Hall," God Chiyang said.

"It's clearly a mountain range," Li Yuan muttered to himself, but he didn't find it too strange.

The entire Juexing Ancient City spans hundreds of thousands of kilometers. After obtaining very high permission, according to Li Yuan's perception and investigation, many mansions in the Outer City have mountains inside them.

The entire ancient city can be understood as a piece of land.

"The Divine Fire Hall, counting you newcomers, currently has fewer than two hundred Flying-level members," God Chiyang said: "But there are many demigod-level members, a full ten thousand of them, all living in various parts of the mountain range... This mountain range is also known as the Divine Fire Mountain Range."

"Nearly ten thousand?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment.

"Every Trial Battle recruits thousands of demigod reserve members, plus those promoted from the Flying level... as well as a few directly recommended by True Gods," God Chiyang laughed: "Accumulated over hundreds of years, people are constantly joining, and people are constantly falling or breaking through to become Void Gods."

"In the end, the number of demigods in the Divine Fire Hall is maintained at eight or nine thousand for the long term, and in a few cases, it will exceed ten thousand."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

If a thousand people are recruited every 20 years, then over 200 years, theoretically, it would be ten thousand people.

"Those who can enter the Divine Fire Hall, like Jiang Shan and the others, their strength has almost reached the initial Void God stage," Li Yuan sighed inwardly: "In other words, the nearly ten thousand demigods in the Divine Fire Hall... each one's strength can rival a principal?"

Just thinking about it, Li Yuan felt quite emotional.

It was too powerful.

Of course, Li Yuan would not find it too strange... After all, Juexing Ancient City, placed in the Divine Realm, is already a major power comparable to the Heavenly Snake Clan.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan followed God Chiyang and arrived at a palace in the center of the mountain range. Inside the palace, thousands of figures had already gathered, the vast majority of whom were demigods, with a few at the Flying level.

On the high platform at the end of the palace, there were also six figures emitting terrifying auras; they were all True Gods.

"Six Vice Hall Masters?" Li Yuan thought to himself. With so many reserve members in the Divine Fire Hall, it was naturally impossible for God Chiyang to manage them all.

"The Hall Master is here."

"The Hall Master has returned." When God Chiyang stepped into the palace, everyone immediately looked at God Chiyang.

Following closely, almost everyone saw Li Yuan standing behind God Chiyang.

"It's Xu Yuan."

"He is the number one Flying Saint Son, Xu Yuan?" Most of the thousands of demigods in the hall looked at Li Yuan with curiosity.

They were all old members of the Divine Fire Hall, but within this extremely short period, they had all learned of Li Yuan's name and deeds.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan flew down directly and came to the very front of the team of one hundred Flying-level members. Qixia, Ji Yan, and others who were originally standing in the first row subconsciously took a step back.

"Today."

"My Divine Fire Hall has added another thousand new members," God Chiyang had already arrived on the high platform, his terrifying aura diffusing, just like a destructive sun, suppressing everyone present.

Even the previous six True Gods, standing beside him, had their auras become somewhat dim.

"There are less than twelve years left until the Battle of the Ancestral Realm," God Chiyang said slowly: "I hope you will seize the time and cultivate hard... In the last Battle of the Ancestral Realm, my Juexing Ancient City only occupied three seats in the top ten, and only thirty-six people in the top hundred. I hope that your generation will be able to surpass the previous one."

Li Yuan was secretly shocked to hear this.

Occupying about one-third and still not satisfied? One must know that the entire world has three ancient star cities and six great holy lands... and there are still some major powers with good strength on the continent and outside the sky.

From this, one can also see the strength of Juexing Ancient City.

"According to the old rules."

"Today, the new rankings will be announced," God Chiyang waved his hand, and suddenly two huge projection light screens, one large and one small, appeared in the void of the divine hall.

On the small light screen, there were only a few hundred names:

Flying Ranking:

First: Xu Yuan (Demigod limit strength, Saint Son)

Second: Qixia (Demigod limit strength, Saint Son)

Third...

Eleventh: Ji Yan (Demigod peak strength)

Sixty-first: Jin Zhen (Demigod mid-stage strength)

One hundred and ninety-second: Yue Kong (Demigod mid-stage strength)

There were fewer than two hundred Flying-level reserve members in total, and Li Yuan was the undisputed number one.

And on that large light screen, there were nearly ten thousand names, with incomparably detailed rankings.

Demigod Ranking:

First: Jing Kui (Void God mid-stage strength, Saint Son)

Second: He Feng (Void God mid-stage strength, Saint Son)

Third: Dong Pan (Void God mid-stage strength, Saint Son)

Eighth: Yueshan (Void God mid-stage strength, Saint Son)

Sixteenth: Yan Dong (Void God mid-stage strength, Saint Son)

Seventeenth: Wu Jiang (Void God mid-stage strength)

Three hundred and sixty-seventh: Yang Di (Void God mid-stage strength)

Three hundred and sixty-eighth: Jin Bi (Void God initial stage strength)

Nine thousandth: Jiang Shan (Void God initial stage strength)

Nine thousand three hundred and twentieth: Qiu Qian (Void God initial stage strength)

Through the demigod ranking of the Divine Fire Hall, Li Yuan quickly understood the strength of the top batch of demigods on the entire Juexing Continent.

"Sixteen demigod Saint Sons? Jing Kui is ranked first," Li Yuan thought to himself: "He seems to be labeled as having Void God mid-stage strength like the other three hundred or so people, but when they truly fight, the difference will probably be very large."

Li Yuan knew very well.

Level 50 and 51 both belong to the initial Void God stage.

Level 52 to 54 both belong to the mid-stage Void God stage.

Level 55 to 56 both belong to the peak Void God stage.

Level 57 must awaken the Seven Star Veins to reach it. Only when Yuan force reaches this level, combined with super-high law comprehension and powerful artifacts, is one generally qualified to be called a "Void God limit" among Void Gods.

The mid-stage Void God stage is the stage with the largest span of strength.

"Jing Kui's strength is probably very close to the peak Void God stage, while those ranked around three hundred are likely just stepping into the mid-stage Void God level," Li Yuan pondered silently.

True mid-stage Void God powerhouses, compared to initial Void God powerhouses, surpass them in all aspects such as Yuan force cultivation, law comprehension, and star techniques...

And demigods are far weaker than Void Gods in terms of foundation, and their Yuan force cultivation, star techniques, etc., cannot be improved, so after their strength reaches a certain level, it becomes increasingly difficult to continue improving.

Basically, they can only rely on the profundity of their moves to improve.

"Seven Star Vein demigods, like Jiang Shan, whose law comprehension has reached the seventh-stage perfection (initial Void God stage), can have combat power comparable to the initial Void God stage," Li Yuan thought to himself: "His law comprehension must reach the eighth-stage mid-level (high-stage Void God level) for his combat power to have a chance of reaching the bottom line of the mid-stage Void God stage."

The further one goes with law comprehension, the slower the progress.

Like many Void Gods, who have cultivated for thousands of years, it is difficult to comprehend a law avenue from the seventh-stage perfection to the eighth-stage mid-level, so one can imagine the difficulty.

Therefore, even for a Seven Star Vein demigod powerhouse, it is an extremely difficult thing to make their strength reach the mid-stage Void God level in just a few hundred years.

"If Jiang Shan wants his combat power to reach the peak Void God level, his law comprehension must reach the ninth-stage level to have a chance," Li Yuan could not help but think of Alliance Leader Dongfang.

Cultivated for less than two hundred years.

He forcefully erupted with peak Void God strength with an Eight Star Vein body, although there was the reason of taking shortcuts with a source divine weapon... but it was enough to prove Dongfang Ji's terrifying strength and talent.

"If the Alliance Leader grew up on the Juexing Continent, he would likely have the hope of becoming the number one genius of this generation," this thought flashed through Li Yuan's mind: "If I were to cultivate my Yuan force to level 48.9 in one go now, and my star techniques to the fourth-stage limit... relying on super-strong star techniques, my strength would likely be directly comparable to a level 52 Void God, reaching the bottom line of the mid-stage Void God stage."

Relying on such strength, wanting to seize the Ancestral Realm Token?

No hope at all.

"Next, on one hand, I must strive to awaken the Life Star," Li Yuan pondered: "On the other hand, I must strive to comprehend the laws; I must make my law comprehension higher."

Although he has not yet awakened the Nine Star Veins, Li Yuan does not know when he will break through to become a demigod.

But the path of cultivation must be planned for the long term.

God Chiyang did not speak for too long before ordering the ten thousand Flying-level demigods to disperse.

Before Li Yuan had time to leave, he was quickly surrounded by a group of demigods.

Jiang Shan, Baili Teng, and Wu Beihong were all among them.

And many demigods who intended to befriend Li Yuan saw this and left with tacit understanding.

"Xu Yuan, let me introduce you," Jiang Shan laughed: "This is Brother Yueshan, and this is Brother Yang Di. You should have seen their names on the ranking; they are both powerhouses from my Yuan Nation."

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Yueshan? Ranked eighth on the demigod ranking just announced, he is a Saint Son.

Yang Di, although only ranked three hundredth, is also labeled as having Void God mid-stage strength.

"Brother Xu Yuan, I am Yueshan," Demigod Yueshan was a burly man who appeared extremely forthright and laughed: "I had already received a message from Void God Shaxi before, and I had also heard Brother Jiang Shan talk about you. It is truly amazing that my Yuan Nation could produce such a peerless monster like you."

"I am Yang Di," Demigod Yang Di did not say much.

"Brother Yueshan, Brother Yang Di," Li Yuan said quickly.

Even in the Chaos Divine Court, if a demigod can possess Void God mid-stage strength, they are absolutely qualified to be in the core layer, so they naturally cannot be underestimated.

"Others?" Li Yuan's gaze swept over the others; the vast majority were demigods, and there were also several at the Flying level, but they were all strangers.

"These are also geniuses from my Yuan Nation," Demigod Yueshan laughed: "Geniuses gather in Juexing Ancient City, coming from various different divine nations and regions, and the competition is extremely fierce... We all come from the Yuan Nation. When we become gods in the future, we will either join the Law Enforcement Divine Hall managed by the Nation Lord, or return directly to the Yuan Nation, so we naturally have to help each other."

Li Yuan could not help but nod.

Most of the official members of Juexing Ancient City will not stay in Juexing Ancient City for a long time... Although the hope for this group of geniuses in front of him to become True Gods in the future is very slim, most of them can grow into peak Void Gods, and there is no lack of those who can become Void God limit powerhouses.

One genius is already very scary.

A group of geniuses sticking together... After hundreds or thousands of years, they will be a terrifying force in the Yuan Nation.

It can be said that a considerable part of the future high-level figures of the Yuan Nation are the geniuses in front of him.

The generations of god families in a divine nation are all replaced in this way.

The leader of this group of geniuses in front of him is undoubtedly Yueshan... As a demigod Saint Son, his hope of becoming a True God in the future is very great.

"Haha, for the newcomers of our Yuan Nation, I only thought there were Jiang Shan and Beihong before," Demigod Yueshan laughed: "We didn't expect Brother Xu Yuan to emerge suddenly."

"In the first battle, you became the number one Flying Saint Son."

"In the future, I'm afraid there is hope to rival the Nation Lord," Demigod Yueshan said solemnly.

The other geniuses from the Yuan Nation also looked at Li Yuan with quite fervent eyes.

When they first received the news about Li Yuan, they were all incomparably shocked.

Too monstrous.

Naturally, they all hoped to befriend Li Yuan.

"Xu Yuan," Demigod Yueshan was quite forthright: "Since you have just arrived today, let me host a welcome banquet. Everyone come to my palace... let's have a good gathering, how about it?"

"Okay," Li Yuan naturally would not refuse.

Demigod Yueshan, who can be ranked eighth on the demigod ranking of Juexing Ancient City... looking across the entire world, he is probably among the top batch of demigods.

In the future Battle of the Ancestral Realm, he might be a help.

"Haha good, then let's go," Demigod Yueshan laughed: "Brothers and sisters, all come."

"Flying-level reserve member, mansion three hundred meters long and wide?"

"Demigod-level reserve member, mansion one kilometer long and wide?" Li Yuan looked at Demigod Yueshan's residence, and even a palace complex: "All Saint Son palaces are five kilometers long and wide?"

From the living environment, one can see the gap in status between each other.

Half an hour later, inside Yueshan's palace, a large number of servants and maids had already served a large amount of delicious food and wine, all of which were extremely delicious, and there were even musicians and dancers performing in the center of the hall.

"Juexing Points?" Li Yuan sat in the lower seat of Demigod Yueshan, listening to what Demigod Yueshan said.

Obviously, in the small group of Yuan Nation geniuses, it has been tacitly accepted that Li Yuan's status is comparable to Demigod Yueshan's.

Even if Li Yuan is only at the Flying level, his strength is not as good as any of these demigods.

But the Saint Son identity represents status.

"Yes," Demigod Yueshan laughed: "In Juexing Ancient City, Divine Crystals are not as good as Juexing Points. Juexing Points can be exchanged for Divine Crystals, but Divine Crystals cannot be exchanged for Juexing Points... Brother Xu Yuan, you are only at the Flying level, but your strength is outstanding, so you can just seize the time to complete more trial tasks and earn more Juexing Points."

"Many rare treasures can only be exchanged with Juexing Points."

"Otherwise, when you break through to become a demigod, the difficulty of the tasks will soar, and it will be much harder to earn Juexing Points," Demigod Yueshan said.

Li Yuan could not help but nod.

These are all experiences... After communicating for such a long time, he also felt that this Demigod Yueshan seemed quite sincere to him.

Only.

At least until now, looking at it, the Flying-level demigod geniuses in the hall seemed very enthusiastic and sincere to him.

"But who knows who is sincere and who is pretending?" Li Yuan felt calm in his heart: "But as long as I remain strong, what difference does their pretense or sincerity make?"

Li Yuan knew very well in his heart, Saint Son identity? It is not important.

The key is still strength.

After the banquet, Li Yuan could be considered to have initially integrated into this circle, and then he arrived at the palace prepared for him by the Divine Fire Hall.

In terms of scale, it was no less than Demigod Yueshan's mansion.

"Greetings, Master."

"Greetings, Master." Ten demigods led three hundred Flying-level maids and servants, bowing respectfully in the courtyard.

Those Flying-level servants even knelt down.

"In my palace, there is no need to kneel," Li Yuan frowned and said: "Just perform the normal salute."

Kneeling? Li Yuan did not like it in his heart.

Even, Li Yuan did not like having too many servants, but this is the rule of Juexing Ancient City... Li Yuan even knew that these servants in front of him did not come from the outside world, but from some small worlds inside Juexing Ancient City.

Every ancient star city contains many small worlds inside, and some small worlds are quite large.

A large number of lives will also be born in the small worlds.

"Everyone go down first, everything as usual," Li Yuan ordered, and flew directly into the cultivation quiet room.

There was only a clean white jade platform here, and a turquoise jade bottle was placed in front of the jade platform.

"Puff~" Li Yuan waved his hand and opened the jade bottle directly, and immediately smelled that refreshing scent.

It was intoxicating.

"Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid? It really is Saint Son treatment," Li Yuan could not help but reveal a smile.

The cultivation of the Divine Fire Hall mainly consists of three aspects.

First, treasures; they will continuously supply Flying-level demigods with various rare treasures that nourish the soul and body.

Second, dharma inheritance; it gathers the most True God and God-level unique arts in this world.

Third, famous teachers; in the divine nations on the continent, it is extremely difficult to become a disciple of a True God, but in the Divine Fire Hall, True Gods will come to give lectures specifically every month.

And as a Divine Fire Hall Saint Son, Li Yuan has many special permissions and special resources.

"Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid is for Saint Son use only; one bottle is granted per month, used to nourish the soul and improve comprehension, making the efficiency of comprehending laws higher," Li Yuan thought to himself.

This treasure is much better than what other reserve members get.

Of course.

Li Yuan is currently still constantly refining the source treasure "Spirit Abyss Jade Fruit," which is far from what the Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid can compare to... but there is no reason not to use it, and Li Yuan would not refuse.

"I can also choose three True Gods for guidance," Li Yuan thought to himself: "Other reserve members can only listen to True Gods giving lectures regularly, just like attending a large class... Other Saint Sons can choose one True God to guide their own cultivation; it is individual teaching, one-on-one."

"But I can choose three; it is three-on-one."

True God powerhouses can come to specifically guide cultivation every month... What a luxurious thing this is.

"I can comprehend up to one thousand True God unique arts, and ten God-level unique arts."

"I can apply for up to three thousand Juexing Divine Pills... If I want more, I have to explain the reason additionally," information about the resources he could obtain appeared in Li Yuan's mind.

Too luxurious.

Compared to the Seven Star Civilization, it is simply heaven and earth.

"Descended to Juexing Continent."

"Even if I didn't complete the Eternal Hall's trial task, just cultivating in Juexing Ancient City for decades... is a great opportunity and great fortune," Li Yuan revealed a smile: "The agreement with Senior Brother Jiang Yuan, I made a huge profit."

Li Yuan knew very well that without the protection of True God Jiang Yuan, he wanted to become the core genius of Juexing Ancient City so easily?

Dream on!

For any major power, when selecting geniuses, the first standard is "loyalty."

If not loyal, the more monstrous the genius, the more they must be eliminated in advance.

"Trial tasks?" Li Yuan's heart moved, and a huge light screen appeared out of thin air in the quiet room.

On the light screen, there was a lot of information about Li Yuan.

For example, various resources that can be applied for, and various Flying-level trial tasks that can be accepted.

"It's quite relaxed," Li Yuan revealed a smile: "Just follow Demigod Yueshan's suggestion, and when I have free time, I will apply for some trial tasks."

When Li Yuan officially began his cultivation in the "Divine Fire Hall."

On the Juexing Continent, Yuan Nation Capital.

Inside the Imperial Palace.

"Nation Lord, it has already been investigated."

True God Jiuyin appeared in the highest divine hall and bowed slightly: "According to what the Nation Lord said, the first one I went to investigate was True God Heiren... It can basically be confirmed that the one who assassinated Xu Yuan was the 'Void God Xingchan' under True God Heiren."

"Heiren? That idiot who hides in his lair and dares not come out!!" True God Jiang Yuan sat on the high throne, his eyes full of coldness: "Are you sure?"

"Confirmed without error."

"I secretly controlled different Void Gods to compare and sense their soul auras; they have all seen Void God Xingchan, so there will be no mistake," True God Jiuyin said solemnly.

She was still quite confident in her achievements in the way of the soul.

"Hmm, Jiuyin, you have worked hard these days," True God Jiang Yuan said in a low voice: "I have already sent a message to Senior Gou Mu... For the next period of time, you and Senior Gou Mu will guard the capital together."

"The two of us guard?" True God Jiuyin was stunned, a bad thought instantly appeared in her mind, and she hurriedly said: "Nation Lord, then what about you?"

"Going to the East Sea for a trip."

"For so many years, I haven't made a move; I'm afraid the gods in this world have forgotten my existence," Jiang Yuan slowly stood up, an invisible pressure diffusing, just like a scorching sun that made it difficult to look directly at him: "A Heiren, I was too lazy to pay much attention to him back then and didn't continue to hunt him down... After so many years, he dares to send people to kill my important genius in my capital."

"If not punished, how can I convince the public."

"Nation Lord, but we don't have ironclad evidence, and the assassin actually didn't leave any identity traces," True God Jiuyin could not help but say: "True God Heiren belongs to the Dongyou Holy Land. If you make a move rashly, will it trigger a war?"

Although the Dongyou Holy Land is far from Juexing Ancient City, it is still a major power after all.

If True God Jiang Yuan fights, and even kills into the other party's territory, all consequences are difficult to predict.

"Evidence?"

"I want to kill someone, this is the evidence," True God Jiang Yuan's voice rolled, and with one step, he had disappeared into the divine hall.
