Chapter 443: Influence! Dongfang Ji

The duels for 11th to 20th place ended, and then the top ten duels were held.

Demigod Jing Kui, He Feng, Demigod Dong Pan, and ten others flew into the void arena.

Li Yuan was already in the hall, leisurely transmitting voices to exchange with Yueshan, Yang Di, and others, waiting for the ranking battle to end.

"Xu Yuan, your soul attack is indeed terrifying enough," Yueshan sighed. "I just dueled with you, and even though I was prepared early, I still got hit and sank."

In the 11-20 ranking duels just now, he won 7 and lost 2, ranking 13th.

Demi-god Xia Ju's final ranking was 12th.

Facing him, their performance was no better than Demi-god Demigod Dong Pan's.

"Pity, you met Demigod Yan Dong in the twenty into ten," Yueshan smiled. "Otherwise, with your soul attack, once you entered the top ten, you might have been able to rush for second place."

"Lost is lost," Li Yuan shook his head. "Not losing to Demigod Yan Dong, even if I met other group first-place winners, I might not have been able to win."

Soul attack is inherently extreme.

"Meeting Demigod Yan Dong instead exposed my weakness, perhaps it is a wake-up call for me," Li Yuan said. "Soul attack can be relied upon, but one cannot rely solely on soul attack; material means are the foundation."

Lost to Demi-god Demigod Yan Dong.

Exceeded Li Yuan's expectations, but it was also reasonable.

These Demi-god Holy Sons all had Level 54 combat power; except for Demigod Jing Kui, the strength gap between them was very small. For example, Demigod Dong Pan and Xia Ju fought hundreds of moves before deciding the winner.

Or like Yueshan, he ranked 13th this time, but was his strength weaker than the others in the top ten?

Therefore, among the Demi-god Holy Sons, it was very normal for one or even several people with super-strong soul defense to pop up, in Li Yuan's view.

Being able to obtain 11th place was already much better than Li Yuan's initial expectations.

After all, whether it was becoming a Nine Star Pulse or breaking through to become a Demi-god, it had only been a few months.

The Seven Star Pulse Demi-gods who could rush into the top hundred in the Divine Fire Hall, which one hadn't cultivated for hundreds of years? Each one had deep accumulation.

They were not the top one hundred among the nine thousand Demi-gods in the Divine Fire Hall, but the top hundred geniuses among the hundreds of millions of Demi-gods under Juexing Ancient City.

If there was no soul attack method, Li Yuan estimated he would only rank in the hundreds.

"After the ranking battle ends, I must study soul defense more diligently," Demi-god Yueshan said. "I think others' thoughts will probably be similar to mine."

"Even, once the news of this battle spreads, the top Demi-gods of Changqing Ancient City, Tianshe Ancient City, and the six Great Holy Lands will all take the initiative to spend a lot of energy to cultivate soul defense secret techniques," Demi-god Yueshan sighed.

Li Yuan nodded; his soul attack was something many peak Void God powerhouses could not catch up to.

And these peerless Demi-gods, if facing peak Void God powerhouses, were mostly doomed to lose; therefore, before this, they mostly had no motivation to study soul defense secret techniques.

After all, cultivating soul defense secret techniques did not help with awakening Star Pulses or comprehending Law mysteries.

But now, a freak like himself appeared.

Clearly material attack was not strong enough, yet soul attack was super strong.

By the time of the Ancestral Realm Battle, the top Demi-gods of all forces, if their soul defense was not strong enough, facing him, they would probably all be trembling.

"Study to your heart's content," Li Yuan smiled and transmitted: "Brother Yueshan, you must know, I only became a Demi-god for a few months and am already this terrifying. What about six years later? Sixty years later?"

Yueshan was stunned.

Right! He almost forgot that Li Yuan had only become a Demi-god for a few months and was already this terrifying.

What about six years later? Sixty years later?

Simply unimaginable!

"Truly a pervert! Forget it, forget it," Demi-god Yueshan shook his head: "There are at most ten Ancestral Realm Tokens... I have little hope of competing for them anyway; I'd better set my sights on some secondary opportunities."

The Ancestral Realm is the origin of this world and also contains the greatest secrets.

Being able to attract so many Demi-gods to fight, besides the Ancestral Realm Tokens, it is also because the Ancestral Realm contains many opportunities, some of which even True Gods are incomparably greedy for.

"It's ending soon."

"Demigod Jing Kui won again," Yueshan pointed to the void arena and shook his head: "Demigod Dong Pan's defense is so strong, yet he was still defeated by him quickly; his strength has indeed transformed."

"I actually wanted to see you and Demigod Jing Kui exchange moves before," Yueshan said.

"It's very hard for me to beat him," Li Yuan looked at the void arena.

Demigod Jing Kui's strength was terrifyingly strong beyond imagination; whether it was Demi-god Demigod Dong Pan, or He Feng, Demigod Yan Dong, and others, no one could last ten moves in front of him.

Of course, this was also the limitation of arena sparring; the protective spiritual light triggered by the array had limited energy, and once it dissipated, it would be judged as losing. Juexing Ancient City's high-level figures could not allow Demi-god Holy Sons to fight to the death, one careless move and they would really die... if it were a life-and-death battle, these Demi-god Holy Sons could at least last dozens of moves.

Not long after.

The top ten duels ended, Demigod Jing Kui, Demigod Dong Pan, and He Feng still ranked first, second, and third, the same as the previous ranking battle.

Demi-god Demigod Yan Dong only ranked ninth.

"This Demi-god Ranking Battle is over," True God Chi Yang said slowly: "Six years later is the Ancestral Realm Battle, therefore, the ranking of the next Demi-god Ranking Battle... will be your ranking in the Ancestral Realm Battle."

"I hope you all cultivate hard in the next six years."

"Demi-gods can leave, Flying-level prepare to start the ranking battle."

More than nine thousand Demi-gods successively left the Divine Fire Hall.

"Demigod Dong Pan ranked second, but lost to Xu Yuan, who ranked eleventh."

"Xu Yuan, lost to Demi-god Demigod Yan Dong, who ranked ninth, haha."

"If Xu Yuan also entered the top ten, he might have been able to rush for second place," many Demi-gods left, but the discussion did not stop.

The biggest controversy in this Demi-god Ranking Battle was undoubtedly Li Yuan.

Clearly just broke through to become a Demi-god.

Clearly Yuan Force cultivation and Star Techniques had not yet been cultivated to the limit... yet he relied on super-strong soul attacks to directly obtain the title of "Demi-god Holy Son."

After the ranking battle ended, Yueshan, Yang Di, and others greeted, causing the Demi-god powerhouses of the Yuan Nation lineage to gather in one place; it was rare to gather together when they usually buried their heads in hard cultivation.

After the banquet.

Li Yuan did not return to his palace but came directly to the Law Enforcement Divine Hall, familiarly arriving at the hall deep inside.

In the hall, there was only one figure.

"Brother," Li Yuan bowed respectfully; having just received a voice transmission from True God Jiang Yuan, he naturally rushed over quickly.

"I already know about your performance in the ranking battle," True God Jiang Yuan sighed: "I thought that since you just broke through to become a Demi-god, it would be difficult to rush into the top one thousand on the Demi-god Ranking; I didn't expect you to rush to eleventh place in one fell swoop."

"Your soul attack is very good."

When he first received the voice transmission from True God Chi Yang, True God Jiang Yuan was very surprised; he knew Li Yuan's soul will was strong... but this was two different things from soul attack being powerful.

"It was the 'Heart Illusion Six Realms' gifted by True God Nine Sounds that helped me a lot," Li Yuan said: "Otherwise, I couldn't have constructed such an illusion world."

"Therefore, I have to thank you, Brother."

This was Li Yuan's truth.

"Heart Illusion Six Realms" and the Great Sun of the Heart Divine Palace cooperated with each other; five years of time was enough to surpass what many Void Gods explored on their own for thousands of years, plus Li Yuan's leaping progress in spatial mysteries... combined with each other, it allowed him to construct a super-strong illusion world in a single thought.

With the illusion world as the foundation, and then deploying "Mind Soul" to hook into the enemy's inner desires, the power was naturally terrifying.

The Dao of the soul, cultivated to the peak, is very terrifying.

"Don't thank me," True God Jiang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Although that 'Heart Illusion Six Realms' is extraordinary, it also depends on the person; you were able to deduce it to this extent in such a short time... enough to prove your talent."

"However."

"Relying solely on soul attacks, it will be extremely difficult for you to take the Ancestral Realm Token," True God Jiang Yuan said: "This time Demigod Yan Dong could defeat you, Demigod Jing Kui might also be able to withstand it... by the time of the Ancestral Realm Battle, the geniuses of other major forces will definitely be more prepared compared to this time."

Li Yuan sighed secretly; this was the same as Yueshan's estimate.

Even if he said "soul attack will be stronger" six years later, unless his soul will has another transformation, or he cultivates "Heart Illusion Six Realms" to the third realm.

Otherwise, the illusion world of soul attack will be hard to have a qualitative change.

"Give yourself some time; if your Yuan Force and Star Techniques are cultivated to the limit, without relying on soul attacks, do you have confidence in beating Demigod Dong Pan?" True God Jiang Yuan suddenly said.

Li Yuan pondered for a while.

"Forty percent confidence," Li Yuan weighed: "After all, the gap in Law comprehension is too big; his Law comprehension is close to the limit of a Void God."

A Demi-god can cultivate at most six Star Techniques.

Give Li Yuan enough time, besides "Earth Star Pulse True Explanation" and "Heaven Wind Star Pulse True Explanation," these two auxiliary Star Techniques, he could cultivate four Nine-Layer combat Star Techniques...

And cultivate Yuan Force to Level 49.9.

Li Yuan estimated.

By then, even if his Law comprehension was a big chunk weaker, his own strength could reach Level 54, not inferior to other Demi-god Holy Sons.

It's just that all of this takes time.

What is missing is time.

"Hmm, there are still six years until the Ancestral Realm Battle," True God Jiang Yuan said: "As a Demi-god Nine Star Pulse, you already have the foundation."

"As long as your Law comprehension makes further progress and your spear technique mysteries reach the peak Void God level, combined with soul attacks, I'm afraid Demigod Jing Kui might not necessarily be your opponent."

Law comprehension breakthrough again?

Li Yuan also didn't have absolute confidence.

Whether it was condensing true intent from spatial mysteries or comprehending the sixth form of "Boundary Cloud Spear," it was extremely difficult.

Like many Void Gods, each one's talent is not bad, but for thousands of years, Law comprehension has been trapped at the initial eighth-stage level.

"I will try my best," Li Yuan said.

"Right."

"Calling you here this time is actually about your reward," True God Jiang Yuan said: "This is your first Demi-god Ranking Battle, and you rushed directly to eleventh place... by logic, you should be rewarded with three hundred thousand Divine Crystals."

Three hundred thousand Divine Crystals? Li Yuan held his breath.

Many peak Void God powerhouses, if all their treasure wealth were added together, would probably be around this number.

"But I applied to the City Lord," True God Jiang Yuan said: "Temporarily not giving you the reward."

Li Yuan was stunned.

"You are only a Demi-god now, and you are in our world; too many Divine Crystals are useless," True God Jiang Yuan said: "Like puppets, we can at most refine mid-level Void God puppets; Law secret treasures... the strongest power is only at the peak Void God level, and they have very little use for you."

Li Yuan nodded slightly; as his strength improves, the role of these external objects will indeed decrease sharply.

"Therefore."

"I want to wait until your Ancestral Realm Battle ends, you become a Void God, or you want to leave our world, and then tell me what treasures you want," True God Jiang Yuan said: "By then, I will give them to you."

"Think slowly, no rush!"

"Yes, thank you, Brother," Li Yuan nodded.

After Li Yuan left.

Whoosh~

A hazy will descended into this hall.

"City Lord," True God Jiang Yuan said.

"Jiang Yuan, are you really prepared to exchange that treasure for Xu Yuan?" The hazy will made a sound.

"Hmm," True God Jiang Yuan nodded: "City Lord, that treasure has been placed in the treasury for a long time, and no suitable powerhouse has been able to exert its power... Xu Yuan is so good at the Dao of the soul; once he becomes a True God in the future, he will probably be able to control it perfectly."

"Treasure gathering dust is not as good as gifting it to him."

"Fine, think it through yourself; the Ancient City has inherited for a long time and has its own rules; Heavenly Divine Artifacts cannot be directly bestowed upon anyone and must be exchanged for equal value," the hazy will said: "That treasure is not a Heavenly Divine Artifact, but it is also incomparably rare."

"However, he is ultimately an alien life from the God Domain," the hazy will said: "You have invested so much in him... I hope he will not let you down in the future."

"I believe in my judgment," True God Jiang Yuan said.

After returning to his residence palace, Li Yuan did not rush to continue cultivating but entered the Ancient God Palace directly.

In the Divine Crystal Room.

Whoosh!

A dark red crystal appeared in front of Li Yuan, floating.

"I don't know what message is hidden in this token left by Alliance Leader Dongfang for me," Li Yuan thought to himself.

This dark red crystal was left to Li Yuan by Dongfang Ji before he left after the Flying Star Battle.

At that time, Dongfang Ji made it clear that he had to wait until Li Yuan crossed into the Demi-god realm to open it.

He had been busy cultivating before, and now that the ranking battle was over, Li Yuan finally had time.

"Hum~"

Li Yuan's mind stirred, and his Yuan Force had already infiltrated the interior of the dark red crystal, breaking through many imprints.

The last imprint was a "password," which Li Yuan cracked with divine sense combined with Yuan Force.

"Truly exquisite," Li Yuan sighed secretly: "No wonder the Alliance Leader said not to try to open it before becoming a Demi-god; if one forced it to start, it would definitely self-destruct."

When the last imprint was unlocked.

Swish~

The dark red crystal instantly turned into countless red streams of light and quickly gathered to form a red phantom.

It was Dongfang Ji's appearance.

"Alliance Leader," Li Yuan couldn't help but say.

"Li Yuan, congratulations," Dongfang Ji smiled: "You being able to open this imprint proves that you have broken through to become a Demi-god; I don't know how much time has passed, nor do I know if you have awakened the Flying Nine Star Pulses... regardless, with your talent, as long as you enter the Nine Leaves World, you should have become a 'Chaos Divine Court Silver-robed Member'."

"Many things, I can also speak directly to you."

Li Yuan's heart moved instantly.

Silver-robed member?

Sure enough! Alliance Leader Dongfang and the Principal should be similar to himself, having accepted tasks similar to Silver-robed and Gold-robed.

At the same time, Li Yuan also saw that the phantom in front of him was not Dongfang Ji's consciousness imprint.

It was just a segment of video.

"Nine Leaves Jiushan, and the Chaos Divine Court have a relationship..." Dongfang Ji's phantom said directly: "I even suspect that the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is named 'Burial', and in the depths, perhaps some big shot of the Chaos Divine Court is buried."

Li Yuan held his breath listening.

This was absolutely a piece of big news.

"Black-robed, Silver-robed, Gold-robed, Purple-robed are the four levels divided for Demi-god Flying members in the Chaos Divine Court," Dongfang Ji continued: "Among them, Silver-robed members are considered the core layer, but only the bottom existence among the core layer."

"Under normal circumstances, passing the Nine Leaves World test allows one to become a Silver-robed member and obtain many benefits."

"Passing the Jiushan World test allows one to become a Gold-robed member," Dongfang Ji's phantom said.

Li Yuan immediately understood.

It seems that Principal Fang Hai became a Silver-robed member back then.

"Gold-robed members are very valued, so when I passed the Jiushan World test and was promoted from Silver-robed to Gold-robed, I made a Law oath that I must rush to the Chaos Divine Court as soon as possible..." Dongfang Ji's phantom said: "If I am lucky and can arrive on time, I should be in the Chaos Divine Court now."

Chaos Divine Court?

Li Yuan finally understood why Dongfang Ji had to leave in a hurry... it turned out to be the mandatory order of the Jiushan World.

"Purple-robed members are even rarer."

"Next, let me tell you about the many benefits that Silver-robed members and Gold-robed members can obtain..."

"Of course, perhaps you have already chosen benefits in the 'Eternal Palace', perhaps you haven't chosen yet."

"If you haven't chosen, listen carefully," Dongfang Ji's phantom said.

Li Yuan listened carefully.

According to what Alliance Leader Dongfang said, if he used the "Return Token" now, he should be heading to the Eternal Palace, where he could choose the benefits that "Gold-robed members" could obtain?

"For the growth of civilization, Fang Hai and I have already chosen many treasures beneficial to civilization, so you don't need to choose these treasures repeatedly..." Dongfang Ji explained in detail.

It made Li Yuan gradually understand the choices made by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai.

For the entire civilization.

They paid a great price.

"The treasures you choose, try your best to strengthen yourself," Dongfang Ji said: "Although I awakened Eight Star Pulses, there are still many obstacles to becoming a Heavenly God."

"And you, a Second-Tier Eight Star Pulse, your hope of becoming a Heavenly God far exceeds Fang Hai and me."

"And even become a super-strong existence among Heavenly Gods."

"By then, perhaps you can solve the threat of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain to the entire civilization," Dongfang Ji said solemnly.

"In addition."

"After you become a Demi-god, do not rush to break into the Jiushan World without sufficient strength and accumulation," Dongfang Ji continued: "I am only a Demi-god Eight Star Pulse; to become a Purple-robed member, I must go to the Chaos Divine Court to have hope... but you are different; you have full hope of awakening Nine Star Pulses at the Demi-god stage."

"By then, once you break into the Jiushan World again, you will have hope of becoming a Purple-robed member in one fell swoop, and the benefits you get will definitely exceed your imagination, which I cannot predict."

"By that time."

"Your status as a 'Purple-robed member' entering the Chaos Divine Court will be completely different," Dongfang Ji said: "Remember, don't rush; have sufficient strength before breaking into the Jiushan World."

Time passed.

Through the message left by Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan had a deeper understanding of the so-called "Eternal Palace."

After a long time.

Clatter~ This dark red Dongfang Ji phantom dissipated suddenly.

Not a trace was left.

"Alliance Leader Dongfang took a certain risk to leave these messages," Li Yuan thought to himself: "I'm afraid he was just worried that I would rashly break into the Jiushan World."

"Pity!"

"Alliance Leader Dongfang probably didn't expect that I would directly face the Purple-robed member trial."

Through analysis, combined with his own experience, Li Yuan had already guessed roughly.

Normal powerhouses go to break into Nine Leaves Jiushan in the Flying and Demi-god stages in turn... but he should only experience this trial task once.

If he can complete it, he can become a Purple-robed member at the highest.

If he fails? Probably no second chance.

"The Purple-robed member task must be completed."

A desire grew in Li Yuan's heart: "By then, even if I am like Alliance Leader Dongfang and have to head to the Chaos Divine Court, I can find a way to leave enough foundation for the Seven Star Civilization."

"Six years."

"If I want to win the Ancestral Realm Battle, I have to head to the Eternal Palace as soon as possible," Li Yuan thought to himself.

If Li Yuan was not in a hurry before.

Then through the message left by Dongfang Ji, letting him know the secret of the Eternal Palace, he understood... opportunity!

Entering the Eternal Palace is the opportunity for Li Yuan to break through quickly in the next six years.

"Cannot be impatient, cannot be detected by the high-level figures of Juexing Ancient City that something is wrong."

"Now that the ranking battle has just ended, wait another month," Li Yuan thought to himself: "I will apply for a Demi-god-level trial task and leave Juexing Ancient City."

Flying-level is too weak, so the trial tasks for Flying-level reserve members are all within Juexing Ancient City.

And Demi-god-level reserve members are all powerful, and many trial tasks are spread all over this world.

Freer.

Greater harvest.

But also more dangerous.

"First, cultivate all Star Techniques to the fourth-stage limit," Li Yuan's mind stirred, calmed down, and continued to cultivate the Star Technique "Heaven and Earth River."

Juexing Ancient City, as the strongest force in this world, has always been in the spotlight.

Now, it is a critical node where another Ancestral Realm Battle is about to arrive... therefore, other major forces in the world are very concerned about the Demi-god-level geniuses of Juexing Ancient City.

The news of the Demi-god Ranking Battle, even if not spread by the Divine Fire Hall, is gradually being known by all forces.

After all, there are too many participants, and it is impossible to hide it completely.

"Demigod Jing Kui, actually broke through? This!!"

"Demigod Jing Kui's strength was already strong, and now he has broken through; he probably has hope of rushing for number one in the Ancestral Realm Battle."

"Hmm, his hope is very great," Demigod Jing Kui's breakthrough made all major forces vigilant.

"Xu Yuan, it is said that he is a Third-Tier Eight Star Pulse, just not confirmed... he rushed to eleventh place on the Demi-god Ranking of Juexing Ancient City just after crossing into Demi-god? Is he that fierce?"

"Soul attack!"

"His soul attack is very terrifying; many Demi-god Holy Sons of Juexing Ancient City cannot block it." Besides Demigod Jing Kui, the one who shocked all major forces the most was "Xu Yuan."

Soul attack, extreme, but it also represents its terrifying deterrent power against the weak.

"Must attach importance to soul defense."

"Right!"

"Demigod Jing Kui is strong, but he is only one person; if a large number of Demi-god-level geniuses join forces, they can also block him."

"Demigod Jing Kui wants to kill someone, he still has to attack again and again to kill."

"But facing Xu Yuan's soul attack, if they cannot withstand it, they will only fall instantly; even if hundreds or thousands of people join forces, it is useless."

"Find the best soul secret treasures, and then cultivate soul secret techniques that match them," major forces in the world, in order to cope with the Ancestral Realm Battle six years later, quickly adjusted the cultivation plans for the Demi-god geniuses under their command.

The influence brought by Xu Yuan is very astonishing.

And this kind of change, Li Yuan himself is not very clear.

Two months later.

Li Yuan, who had successively cultivated five Nine-Layer Star Techniques to the limit, applied for a trial task.

Left Juexing Ancient City.
