Chapter 435: Time! Rapid Growth

Not just Jiang Shan, but also the newly befriended semi-god geniuses of the Yuan Kingdom like Yang Di and Yueshan, and even the True God Chi Yang, had all sent a message.

They were all talking about this matter.

Especially the transmission from the True God Chi Yang, which allowed Li Yuan to understand the whole matter even more thoroughly.

"Senior Brother Jiang Yuan?" Li Yuan was also shocked by this news.

Although the Dongyou Sacred Land was far inferior to the Ancient City of Juexing, being able to rank among the six great Sacred Lands and maintain long-term independence under the suppression of the three ancient star cities was enough to prove its powerful strength.

And the True God Black Blade—although Li Yuan did not know him very well, he also knew that the Black Blade Divine Kingdom was one of the core divine kingdoms of the Dongyou Sacred Land... which meant the True God Black Blade should at least be at the peak of True God.

And the True God Jiang Yuan was actually able to charge into the Royal Capital of the Black Blade Divine Kingdom in the Dongyou Sacred Land and kill him directly?

And retreat unscathed under the hands of a Celestial God of the Dongyou Sacred Land?

What kind of strength was this?

"Little brother, this cheap senior brother of yours is indeed formidable." Gu You's voice suddenly sounded, filled with amazement: "For a True God to be able to do this, he is absolutely that kind of top-tier True God... Looking at the vastness of the nine thousand star domains of the Divine Realm, I fear one cannot encounter many who can rival him; it is truly incredible!!"

"Once he steps into the Celestial God realm, I fear he will be at the peak of Celestial Gods, or even stronger." Gu You said.

"The most top-tier in the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan sighed inwardly, but could not help but ask: "In the Divine Realm, are there no True Gods who can rival the peak of Celestial Gods?"

"Haha, few! Looking throughout history, it is incomparably rare." Gu You laughed: "I know your thoughts. Like the Flying Heaven level, the most heaven-defying strength in the Divine Realm can reach the threshold of a Void God."

"Semi-gods, some heaven-defying combat power can reach the limit of a Void God."

"But do you think, what level can the combat power of the most top-tier among Void Gods reach?" Gu You asked directly.

"Peak of True God?" Li Yuan hesitated for a moment.

"Wrong!"

"Those who are formidable among Void Gods basically only have the strength of an initial-stage True God." Gu You laughed: "Don't be surprised! Because true peerless evildoers will not stay at the Void God stage at all."

"Staying at the Flying Heaven and Semi-god stages is to build a foundation."

"But as long as the insights into laws are sufficient, not many people will stay at the Void God and True God stages forever... Therefore, since ancient times, that batch of the most monstrous and peerless Celestial Gods in the Divine Realm all became True Gods in one breath, and after slightly settling down at the True God stage, once they understood a complete Great Dao, they would achieve the Celestial God realm." Gu You said.

Li Yuan immediately understood.

Theoretically, some peerless geniuses, continuously cultivating at the True God stage, cultivating to the extreme, might also be able to kill weaker Celestial Gods... but such peerless evildoers would have long since become Celestial Gods.

Just like the True God Jiang Yuan.

To have such combat power, the mysteries of the moves he executed were likely extremely extraordinary even among Celestial Gods.

With such a high realm, going to comprehend Great Dao laws again, the hope of breaking through was very great.

"Of course, there are also some very special Void Gods and True Gods in the Divine Realm whose insights into laws are extremely high but still cannot break through." Gu You added: "Those are the five-star-pulse Void Gods, the six-star-pulse True Gods..."

Li Yuan was stunned.

Five-star-pulse was the bottom-line requirement to become a Void God.

Six-star-pulse was the bottom-line requirement to become a True God.

"The star-pulse foundation is too weak."

"Causing them, even after becoming gods and their spiritual wisdom transforming, and their insights into laws being pursued all the way, to still be unable to break the shackles... Like in the Divine Realm, there was once born a peerless genius named 'Man Huo', who understood four Great Daos when he was a True God..." Gu You sighed: "His realm was so high that the vast majority of Celestial Gods could not compare to him; the unique skills he created were top-tier even among Celestial Gods... In the end, he was still trapped at the True God stage, and once his thirty-thousand-year lifespan limit arrived, he could only die."

Li Yuan listened, dumbfounded.

Awakening star-pulses was closely related to insights into laws and soul cultivation.

Therefore, six-star-pulse True Gods, by rights, had law talent and soul-will talent that were medium-to-low among countless True Gods... Yet this True God Man Huo was ultimately able to achieve such great accomplishments.

It was indeed rare!

However, the Divine Realm was vast, and through endless ages... there would always be some inconceivable evildoers born.

"Man Huo?" Li Yuan silently noted this name.

After reading through all the received messages.

Li Yuan thought for a moment and sent a message of thanks to the True God Jiang Yuan, explaining the reason why he had not replied for the past few days.

Not long after Li Yuan returned to his residence located in the Hall of Divine Fire, he received a transmission from the True God Jiang Yuan.

"Junior brother, come to my Hall of Law Enforcement for a trip." The content of the True God Jiang Yuan's message was very simple.

The True God Jiang Yuan, besides being the State Lord of the Yuan Kingdom, was also the 'Hall Master of the Hall of Law Enforcement' of the Ancient City of Juexing.

Whoosh! Li Yuan immediately rushed over.

The Hall of Law Enforcement was also located in the outer city, but its footprint was much larger than the Hall of Divine Fire, with layers of palaces and buildings, solemn and majestic, and the guards at the door were quite a few Juexing Guards.

Li Yuan had just landed at the entrance of the Hall of Law Enforcement.

"Greetings, Holy Son Xu Yuan." The commander of the Juexing Guards at the head had already strode forward, bowing slightly and smiling: "Holy Son Xu Yuan, the Hall Master has already sent a message to us; once you arrive, you can go directly into the main hall. I will take you there."

"Sorry for the trouble." Li Yuan smiled.

Zoom! Zoom! The two immediately flew toward the depths of the palace.

This scene caused those Juexing Guards in the distance to involuntarily communicate via sound transmission.

"Commander Hu Shan is usually very arrogant; even if other True Gods come, he doesn't care at all. Why would he care so much about a Holy Son?" A Juexing Guard asked curiously.

"Stupid!"

"Why do other True Gods come to our Hall of Law Enforcement? That is because they violated the laws of the ancient city. Commander Hu Shan naturally doesn't care; it has always been outsiders begging our Hall of Law Enforcement." A Juexing Guard transmitted: "But the one who came today is Holy Son Xu Yuan."

"A few days ago, the Hall Master fought a Celestial God for Holy Son Xu Yuan, which shows the status of Holy Son Xu Yuan in the Hall Master's heart... But I didn't even recognize Holy Son Xu Yuan at the first moment just now."

"Commander Hu Shan recognized Holy Son Xu Yuan's identity at a glance; I fear he had long since made preparations. No wonder he can be a commander..."

A group of Juexing Guards communicated with each other.

Inside the Hall of Law Enforcement, they seemed to be just patrolling and very inconspicuous... If they went down to inspect the eight hundred divine kingdoms in the lower realm, they would be 'Envoys of the Ancient City', also majestic and awe-inspiring.

"Holy Son Xu Yuan, my name is Hu Shan, and this is my communication token." Commander Hu Shan smiled: "In the future, if the Holy Son has any needs in the Hall of Law Enforcement, you can send me a message first. I cannot handle big matters... but finding some information for the Holy Son or asking about some channels is still something I can do."

"Good, then I will trouble Commander Hu Shan in the future." Li Yuan smiled and accepted the token.

He could not possibly trouble the True God Jiang Yuan with everything.

Being able to befriend a commander of the Hall of Law Enforcement... sometimes it would also be useful.

"Holy Son, the Hall Master is in the hall." Commander Hu Shan said: "You can go straight in; I won't go in."

Li Yuan nodded, and with a flash, he had already passed through the corridor and entered the hall.

This hall was not considered large, and the four walls were engraved with a large number of murals, on which countless flame patterns were engraved, as if countless flames were burning.

Standing in the hall, one could feel the scorching heat of these flames.

"State Lord." Li Yuan said respectfully.

He did not call him Senior Brother because besides the True God Jiang Yuan, there were two other True Gods in the hall.

One was wearing heavy earthy-yellow battle armor, like a god of war, with a vigorous and vast aura.

One was a woman wearing green robes, with a gentle smile, looking at Li Yuan with great interest.

"Xu Yuan." The True God Jiang Yuan said directly: "Come, let me introduce you. This is the True God Xing Huan, a True God who comprehends the Law of Earth."

"This is the True God Piao Xia, a True God who comprehends the Law of Wind."

"True God Xing Huan, True God Piao Xia." Li Yuan bowed slightly, but his heart could not help but stir.

Law of Earth? Law of Wind? Such a coincidence?

The True God Xing Huan and the True God Piao Xia also nodded slightly toward Li Yuan, seemingly observing him.

"According to the rules."

"You are a Holy Son and are at the seventh tier, so you should have three True God teachers to guide your cultivation." The True God Jiang Yuan said: "I have invited two True Gods to come. In the coming years, they will separately guide your comprehension and cultivation of the Law of Wind and the Law of Earth. What do you think?"

Teachers?

Sure enough!

"I will listen to the State Lord's arrangements." Li Yuan said respectfully. Since the True God Jiang Yuan had arranged it this way, there must be a deep meaning; he would just listen to the arrangements.

"Good, then why don't you call them teachers?" The True God Jiang Yuan said.

"Teacher Xing Huan, Teacher Piao Xia." Li Yuan said immediately.

"Holy Son Xu Yuan, no need to be so polite. We are only invited by the Vice City Lord; it is not a true apprenticeship." The green-robed woman, the True God Piao Xia, smiled: "I only hope that under our guidance, you can become another pillar of our Ancient City of Juexing in the future."

"I am the same." The True God Xing Huan's voice was like thunder; he seemed not very good with words.

"Good."

"You two, it is agreed then. Except when Xu Yuan goes out on trial missions, you will go to guide Xu Yuan once every month." The True God Jiang Yuan said in a low voice: "Temporarily until the Battle of the Ancestral Realm."

The True God Xing Huan and the True God Piao Xia looked at each other.

They were not stupid; from the True God Jiang Yuan's words, they immediately understood that the True God Jiang Yuan was hoping for Xu Yuan to charge into the Battle of the Ancestral Realm?

But Xu Yuan was clearly only at the Flying Heaven realm.

However, this was clearly not a matter for them to consider, so they both bowed slightly and said: "Yes, Vice City Lord."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two great True Gods left directly, leaving only Li Yuan and the True God Jiang Yuan in the hall.

"Senior brother." Li Yuan could not help but say: "They call you Vice City Lord?"

"Yes."

"Today, the City Lord, 'Celestial God Tai You', just issued an order, commanding me to become the second Vice City Lord of the Ancient City of Juexing." The True God Jiang Yuan smiled: "If I hadn't become Vice City Lord, how could I have invited these two True Gods?"

Second Vice City Lord?

Li Yuan immediately understood that there should be two Celestial Gods on the surface of the Ancient City of Juexing... Were there any in private? That was unclear.

"This time, I made senior brother take a risk." Li Yuan said directly.

"There is no need to say these things between us. If we really want to talk about it, I owe you." The True God Jiang Yuan shook his head: "You were assassinated, it was originally because of me. That True God Black Blade and I had a feud... He was targeting me. I also didn't expect him to be so bold. If not for your own strength being great, you would have been in danger of perishing that day."

"Daring to provoke me, naturally they should be killed." The True God Jiang Yuan said it as a matter of course.

"These past few days, I have been thinking about how to compensate you."

"It's just that you already have Divine Crystals, weapons, and Juexing Divine Pills. You can learn all kinds of unique skills yourself. As for the Mirror of Laws... I have no way to get more for you; the ancient city has its own rules." The True God Jiang Yuan said.

"Senior brother, you have helped me get a lot already; I dare not ask for more." Li Yuan said quickly.

This was Li Yuan's sincere words; he was already incomparably satisfied with the cultivation environment of the Ancient City of Juexing.

The most important point in being able to have all this was the protection of the True God Jiang Yuan.

"Haha, this is what you deserve." The True God Jiang Yuan smiled: "Your talent is so high, crowning the contemporary era of this world... So I thought about it and decided to invite two more teachers for you."

"True God Xing Huan, True God Piao Xia."

"They are both peak True God powerhouses, and they have already walked very far in the ninth stage. Looking at the nearly ten thousand True Gods in the entire Ancient City of Juexing, they can rank in the top ten in the Great Daos they comprehend." The True God Jiang Yuan smiled mysteriously: "The most critical thing is that they are both good at teaching disciples."

Good at teaching disciples?

Li Yuan was stunned.

"Although the ancient city has rules and will give you three teachers to guide you... but powerful True Gods also have their pride. If you don't ask yourself, they will only assign you three True Gods. Perhaps the True Gods who come are also quite good in strength, but they may not be good at teaching disciples." The True God Jiang Yuan said: "And these two have both taught True God disciples."

"Being strong doesn't mean being able to teach."

Li Yuan was secretly shocked. Being a True God and still being able to teach True God disciples? This gold content was indeed high.

"Senior brother being able to invite them here must have spent a lot of thought." Li Yuan said.

"If it were in the past, even if I came forward, they might not be willing." The True God Jiang Yuan smiled: "But now that I have just become Vice City Lord, they are still willing to give this bit of face."

"Besides, it is also because your talent is high enough."

"After all, teachers all like smart students." The True God Jiang Yuan said: "If you were a fool, let alone me, even if the City Lord spoke, they might not be willing."

Li Yuan could not help but nod.

Having connections was one thing, but one also had to have sufficient ability... Relying solely on connections would not get one far.

"I have arranged teachers for the two laws of Earth and Wind for you." The True God Jiang Yuan smiled: "As for the third teacher... I will guide you in the Law of Space."

"Senior brother, you?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"Why? Am I not enough to teach on behalf of a master?" The True God Jiang Yuan smiled enigmatically.

"Enough, enough." Li Yuan said quickly: "I just didn't expect senior brother to be willing to guide me."

This was definitely a surprise.

Just as Sister Gu You said, the True God Jiang Yuan was so formidable... his insights into the Law of Space were likely comparable to many powerful Celestial Gods.

This was already equivalent to a Celestial God guiding him personally.

After returning to his palace.

"I didn't expect Senior Brother Jiang Yuan to arrange it this way." Li Yuan's heart was indeed filled with gratitude.

Even a master might not be able to do what the True God Jiang Yuan had done.

"It is very perfect."

"In terms of cultivation resources, I have the Spirit Yuan Green Jade Fruit, and I have a continuous supply of Red Spirit Flowing Fire Liquid, which can improve my comprehension and strengthen my soul to the greatest extent." Li Yuan's eyes shone.

"I have already obtained two Mirrors of Laws, and in the next few decades, they will be able to continuously exert their effects, promoting my insights into the Law of Space and the Law of Earth..."

"I have three True God teachers, one of whom is comparable to a Celestial God."

"In the Ancient City of Juexing, there are a large number of unique skills left behind by generations of Celestial Gods and countless True Gods, allowing me to comprehend and learn at will."

"I have the visualization method combined with the 'Six Realms of Heart Illusion' to cultivate soul will."

It was already incomparably perfect.

"The rest."

"It depends on myself."

"The best external environment is absolutely comparable to the conditions possessed by the descendants of Celestial Gods, but the core is still the individual." Li Yuan was filled with fighting spirit: "Whether I can shine brilliantly in the Battle of the Ancestral Realm ultimately depends on what step I can reach in the next twelve years."

Time passed.

This battle of the True God Jiang Yuan shook this world and quickly spread to all major forces, causing countless True Gods to be horrified.

In the entire world, how many eras had it been since such a terrifying True God was born?

At the same time, it also caused the name 'Xu Yuan' to quickly spread throughout all parts of the universe.

After all, the battle stirred up by the True God Jiang Yuan was because of the assassination of 'Xu Yuan'.

This news also quickly spread to the Ancient City of Heavenly Snake.

The territory of the Ancient City of Heavenly Snake was not on the Continent of Juexing, but in the distant outer heavens... Over eighty percent of the countless life stars in the outer heavens were governed by the Ancient City of Heavenly Snake.

The Ancient City of Heavenly Snake had many powerful divine beast races, and there was no lack of great races like Dragons and Phoenixes.

But the master of the ancient city was the Heavenly Snake race!

One of the important reasons was that the 'Legacy Divine Artifact' of the Ancient City of Heavenly Snake must possess the Heavenly Snake bloodline to be executed... which also made the Heavenly Snake race incomparably powerful.

Especially in this era, a 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake' was born in the Heavenly Snake race again, which was something that had not happened for many eras, and it had long since shaken the entire Ancient City of Heavenly Snake.

Inside the Ancient City of Heavenly Snake, in a palace with a huge footprint.

"Xu Yuan?"

"Yuan Kingdom? Cultivating for only thirty years? Soul will is exceptionally strong, Flying Heaven level? Suspected eight-star-pulse?" The slender and beautiful green snake lay in the palace, looking at the intelligence in her hand with incomparable surprise.

She could not help but transmit: "Senior Qiu, you say, could this Xu Yuan be Big Brother? Big Brother once said that the teacher he respected the most was surnamed Xu, so when he used an alias, he often used 'Xu'... Everything completely matches Big Brother."

"It is a very high probability that it is him." The Venerable Qiu Bing transmitted: "With Li Yuan's talent and aptitude, as long as he appears on the Continent of Juexing, he is the most top-tier genius; his sharpness cannot be covered up."

"You rely on your bloodline to naturally become the core of the Ancient City of Heavenly Snake, and he was actually able to gain trust so quickly and become the core layer of the Ancient City of Juexing; it is indeed formidable." The Venerable Qiu Bing sighed quite a bit.

"Then shall we go find Big Brother?" Liu Bing asked quickly.

"No!"

"Although this Xu Yuan is highly likely to be Li Yuan, there is also a very small probability that he is not... Secondly, if you go to find him, you will only harm each other." The Venerable Qiu Bing said: "The Ancient City of Heavenly Snake and the Ancient City of Juexing, although not mortal enemies, their relationship is not considered good."

"You are both top-tier geniuses of the younger generation of your respective forces. If your relationship is exposed, what do you think the high-level figures of the two major forces will think?"

Liu Bing was stunned.

"Li Yuan is already safe, you don't need to worry too much."

"Don't be anxious! In the Battle of the Ancestral Realm more than ten years from now, Li Yuan will likely participate, and you will be able to see each other then." The Venerable Qiu Bing said: "The most important thing for you now is cultivation, is to seize the opportunity."

"Having put in such great effort before, experiencing life and death, you only just awakened the eight-star-pulse; what you need to do now is to step into the Semi-god realm as soon as possible... and then go to charge at the nine-star-pulse."

"Nine-star-pulse!"

"Although it is extremely rare for a second-tier seven-star-pulse to become a nine-star-pulse, there have been such cases in history."

"That Ancestral Realm is very likely to involve some secrets of existences beyond Celestial Gods, and there is also that Eternal Hall... In short, we still have hope." The Venerable Qiu Bing's voice revealed a trace of excitement: "If you can become a Semi-god nine-star-pulse, Little Bing, you will have full hope of surpassing Celestial Gods in the future and reaching the level of the 'Holy Blood Heavenly Snake Ancestor'."

"Then, not only can you rebuild the Heavenly Snake race, you will have hope of true revenge." The Venerable Qiu Bing said solemnly.

He knew very well how terrifying the great enemy was back then?

Become a Celestial God? The Heavenly Snake race had Celestial Gods back then, but they were still annihilated... so he never dared to think that Liu Bing could take revenge, only hoping that Liu Bing could rebuild the race.

But now, he had already seen a glimmer of faint hope.

"Good."

"I will cultivate hard." Liu Bing also calmed down. Although she was eager to see Big Brother, she also knew the responsibility she carried.

Time passed, and Li Yuan began his cultivation journey in the Ancient City of Juexing.

Inside the Ancient City of Juexing, in Li Yuan's residence.

"Teacher Piao Xia, this is the confusion I encountered in my cultivation this month..." Li Yuan quickly raised the problems he encountered in his cultivation.

"How can you comprehend so quickly?" The True God Piao Xia was shocked: "Only a month has passed."

In reality, Li Yuan's progress in the Law of Wind was not considered great, but if the time scale was placed on a month, this kind of progress was very exaggerated.

Moreover.

The True God Piao Xia knew very well that Li Yuan was distracted and comprehending the three major laws of Wind, Earth, and Space at the same time.

Another month later.

"Directly stepped into the seventh-stage mid-tier?" The True God Piao Xia was even more surprised.

One must know that she was also a peak True God and had taught many disciples, considering herself to have seen many geniuses.

But like Li Yuan, this level of genius, she had also seen very, very few.

Similar to the True God Piao Xia was the True God Xing Huan.

At first, he did not care much about Li Yuan, but later, as Li Yuan's progress speed became faster and faster, he also became more and more serious.

Everyone is willing to teach a good student.

If the True God Piao Xia and the True God Xing Huan were shocked by Li Yuan's talent.

Then, the True God Jiang Yuan was dumbfounded; he had never seen any Flying Heaven level be able to progress so quickly.

In the small void world.

"Not enough."

"Your spear technique can still be more condensed. Spatial cutting, the most important thing lies in..." The True God Jiang Yuan said solemnly: "Come, let me demonstrate it to you one more time."

"Yes." Li Yuan absorbed the insight and experience as if starving.

After sending Li Yuan away.

The indifference on the True God Jiang Yuan's face disappeared, replaced by doubt and shock: "Spatial cutting!"

"Spatial world!"

"Two major directions advancing side by side, and still distracted to comprehend other laws."

"Xu Yuan, can actually still progress so quickly?" The True God Jiang Yuan thought to himself: "This junior brother of mine, his talent in the Law of Space is truly frightening."

"He is only at the Semi-god soul level after all. Even with the assistance of origin treasures and the Mirror of Laws, it shouldn't be this exaggerated."

Let alone Flying Heaven, even among Semi-gods, in the True God Jiang Yuan's cognition, there was no one who could progress as terrifyingly as Li Yuan in the Law of Space.

It was as if no bottleneck could trap him.

It was just breaking through all the way!!

"According to this progress speed, I fear that before the Battle of the Ancestral Realm, he will be able to condense the True Meaning of Space." The True God Jiang Yuan pondered.

The True Meaning of Space, in terms of power, was at the eighth-stage level comparable to basic laws.

"And he combines the three major laws with each other... Perhaps, this junior brother of mine can really charge into the top hundred of the Battle of the Ancestral Realm." The True God Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

This was already incomparably exaggerated.

After all, every genius in the top hundred of the Battle of the Ancestral Realm had strength approaching the level of a Semi-god Holy Son of the Ancient City of Juexing.

As for the Ancestral Realm Token? The True God Jiang Yuan still felt that Li Yuan's hope of seizing one was very slim.

Time flowed like water, year after year.

In the blink of an eye, nearly five years had passed since Li Yuan joined the Ancient City of Juexing.
