Chapter 447

The Nine-Layer Star Art, even in the mouths of the countless Demigods, Sovereigns, and even True Gods of the Divine Realm, is hailed as the supreme star art.

Back then, Li Yuan first came into contact with the concept of a "Supreme Star Art" from the mouth of Demigod Bai Shan.

He had once wondered, if a Nine-Layer Star Pulse can cultivate a Nine-Layer Star Art, why can't a Ten-Layer Star Pulse cultivate a Ten-Layer Star Art?

It was just a pity.

Whether it was the information given by Senior Gu You and Venerable Qiu Bing, or the database of the Ancient City of Juexing, they only mentioned the concept of a "Perfect Star Pulse" and did not have a Ten-Layer Star Art.

Until not long ago.

Li Yuan obtained the token of the Alliance Leader Dongfang, and only then did the other party mention "Perfect Star Art" for the first time.

This type of star art is too rare; even among the Heavenly Gods, only a very small number have successfully cultivated it.

In the top-tier major powers of the Divine Realm, the vast majority of True Gods never encounter a single case in their entire lives, and therefore, it is unknown to people.

Above the Nine-Layer Star Art, there is indeed a more profound and powerful "Perfect Star Art."

A Perfect Star Art is a "Ten-Layer Star Art."

First, it requires a Perfect Star Pulse to carry the Ten-Layer Star Art, and second, it has quite high requirements for the comprehension of laws.

This is merely the basic requirement for cultivation.

Finally, one must "integrate a spark into the star pulse," using one's own purest life source force, to make the entire star pulse and star marks perfectly unified.

"Whether it is the Sky Snake Race or the Ancient City of Juexing, not many Nine-Star Pulse powerhouses have been born," Li Yuan secretly thought. "Let alone creating a Perfect Star Art... only top-tier major powers in the Divine Realm like the Chaos Divine Court, with numerous Heavenly Gods passing it down through generations, could possibly know of it."

Knowledge, once obtained, feels insignificant.

But before it is obtained, it is extremely precious.

Senior Dongfang Ji also only learned the concept of "Perfect Star Art" from the Eternal Hall after becoming a Gold-Robed member.

If one were a Silver-Robed member, like Fang Hai, one would not have known.

"The second spark has been born; there is no need to delay any longer." With a thought, Li Yuan had already arrived from the Ancient God Palace to the vast mountain range in the outside world.

The surroundings were silent.

There was nothing unusual.

"If I use it inside the Ancient God Palace, I might end up leaving the Ancient God Palace within the Dragon Blood Realm," Li Yuan secretly thought, waving his hand to put away the dust-sized Ancient God Palace.

Hum~ Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, sensing the golden token in his spiritual world, located beside the Spiritual Divine Palace, which was formed by the convergence of strange energy.

Following the sensing in the dark.

"Chi~" Li Yuan's soul consciousness had activated the golden token, rapidly.

"Hum~" The golden token instantly dissipated, turning into a mysterious energy that enveloped Li Yuan's entire body, and immediately following that, Li Yuan vanished into thin air, disappearing completely from this world.

At the same moment.

Ancient City of Juexing, in the hall deep within the Law Enforcement Divine Hall.

True God Jiang Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, instantly received a message from the "Monitoring Spirit" of the Ancient City of Juexing: "Vice City Lord, Xu Yuan's soul lamp has extinguished, and his final location was in the Dragon Blood Realm; the specific situation is unknown."

"Soul lamp extinguished?" True God Jiang Yuan's expression changed slightly.

As long as one is within the range of this world, the soul lamp can be sensed; even if one enters some special places, it would only cause the soul lamp to dim.

Under normal circumstances, there is only one possibility—he is dead!

Suddenly.

"Senior, I have returned to the Divine Realm, no need to worry, I will return at the latest before the Ancestral Realm War, hope Senior helps me cover up." A message was transmitted to True God Jiang Yuan; it came from Li Yuan's communication token.

"Return to the Divine Realm?" What kind of divine ability did True God Jiang Yuan have; with one thought in his heart, he distinguished that this message came from Li Yuan's Saint Son residence.

Li Yuan clearly went to the Dragon Blood Realm, why would this message come from the Saint Son residence?

Boom!

He took one step out and flew out of the palace, crossing over ten thousand kilometers in just over ten seconds, flying directly into Li Yuan's residence in the Divine Fire Hall, and a terrifying aura immediately dispersed.

"True God."

"Greetings, True God." A large group of servants knelt down in terror.

Rumble~ A powerful spiritual sense probed everything inside and outside the residence, and immediately following that, three figures flew out from a secret room; their faces were extremely terrified.

"Speak, what did you just do?" True God Jiang Yuan's eyes were cold, and his voice entered their spiritual worlds directly, leaving these three Flying-level cultivators somewhat dazed.

"Reporting to True God." One of the Flying-level cultivators said in a low voice: "The Saint Son ordered us a few days ago that once the lamp in the secret room extinguished, we were to crush the token."

"As for the rest, we do not know." The three Flying-level servants were extremely terrified.

True God Jiang Yuan instantly understood everything.

"Xu Yuan went to the Dragon Blood Realm just to get rid of monitoring so he could return to the Divine Realm? And he laid out measures in advance so I wouldn't worry?" True God Jiang Yuan secretly thought: "But what kind of means does he have to be able to go directly from the Dragon Blood Realm to the Divine Realm and still be able to come back?"

This terrifying means made even True God Jiang Yuan instinctively feel a trace of dread.

"The Divine Realm and our world have been isolated; the soul lamp would indeed fail." True God Jiang Yuan pondered.

"The Divine Realm, the Chaos Divine Court... truly unfathomable."

This was indeed a backup plan left by Li Yuan.

As a member of the Ancient City of Juexing, he had to light a soul lamp.

But having learned from Senior Dongfang Ji's lesson, once he went to the "Eternal Hall," it was very likely to cause the soul lamp to extinguish, which might attract the attention of the high-level officials of the Ancient City of Juexing... Therefore, Li Yuan purchased a separate soul lamp to keep in his residence.

If two soul lamps were to extinguish, they would both extinguish.

Li Yuan also left a communication token in advance; once the soul lamp in the residence extinguished, the three servants would crush the token and ask True God Jiang Yuan to help cover it up.

Suddenly.

Hum~ A powerful will was transmitted over: "Jiang Yuan, Xu Yuan's soul lamp extinguished? What is the situation?"

"City Lord, no need to worry, Xu Yuan is not dead, I have my own judgment." True God Jiang Yuan replied.

Whoosh!

After activating the golden token, Li Yuan only felt a vast power enveloping him, and then time changed, and he had already arrived here.

Endless starry sky, dotted with stars.

A towering divine hall, entirely silver, stood just like that in the starry sky, emitting a dazzling light.

Li Yuan stood at the lowest step of the divine hall.

If he took one step back, it would be the abyss-like dark starry sky.

"This is the Eternal Hall?" Li Yuan held his breath and looked up at the silver divine hall; the divine hall did not emit too strong a pressure, but it had a unique aesthetic.

Furthermore, invisibly, it gave Li Yuan a special feeling, as if the divine hall and the starry sky behind it formed a perfect and eternal painting.

This feeling surpassed the many treasures Li Yuan had seen before; even the remains of Heavenly God An Chi did not give Li Yuan this feeling.

Hum~ A mysterious message was transmitted into Li Yuan's mind.

"Enter the divine hall?" Li Yuan secretly thought, immediately stepping over the steps one by one and entering the divine hall with its open doors.

The inside of the divine hall was extremely vast, with divine pillars supporting the dome of the divine hall; at a glance, there were thirty-six divine pillars.

Each divine pillar was shockingly large.

The most special thing was that the thirty-six divine pillars, the floor, and the four walls were all cast from silver metal... smooth as a mirror; Li Yuan could easily see his own reflection from the floor, the divine pillars, and so on...

"What material is this divine hall cast from?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked; under his spiritual sense sweep, he could not penetrate the silver mirror surface at all; it was absolutely smooth.

At the same time, Li Yuan also discovered that he could no longer send messages to "Senior Gu You," and no matter how he called out, there was no response.

"This divine hall seems somewhat different from what Alliance Leader Dongfang mentioned." Li Yuan arrived at the palace, his gaze sweeping across the four directions, and there were no "light screens" or "voices" as he had expected.

Slap~ A sound came from the floor.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan immediately turned his head to look, only to see an old man in silver robes walking out from behind a divine pillar, not knowing when he had appeared.

His hair was all silver, but there were thick wrinkles on his face, and his walking seemed very slow.

"Just now I clearly probed with my spiritual sense, and there was no one behind that divine pillar." Li Yuan was shocked: "Moreover, in Alliance Leader Dongfang's intelligence, it was never said that other people would appear in the Eternal Hall."

Combining the uniqueness of the silver divine hall.

Li Yuan immediately judged that his experience was different from Alliance Leader Dongfang and Principal Fang Hai... his encounter upon arriving at the "Eternal Hall" was also different.

"Very strange that there is someone here?" The old man in silver robes had a gentle voice that echoed in the palace: "Over the long years, I have always guarded this palace; although people constantly arrive, I don't really want to see most of them... only when I encounter someone special do I come out to see them."

Li Yuan immediately understood.

He was that special one?

Secondly, it wasn't just him and Alliance Leader Dongfang and the others who had come here... many people had come before.

"Senior, is this the Eternal Hall?" Li Yuan couldn't help but say: "According to the guidance, I came here after completing the Gold-Robed member mission, there should be some rewards, right."

"Rest assured."

"I won't forget your reward." The old man with silver hair smiled: "I just wanted you to chat with an old man for a few more sentences... Forget it, your mind is now on the treasures, so I will give you the reward for becoming a 'Gold-Robed member' first."

"By logic, becoming a Silver-Robed member would have four gifts, and a Gold-Robed member would have three gifts, but since you arrived as a Gold-Robed member... I will take the liberty to let you choose four from the nine promotion gifts of a Gold-Robed member." The old man with silver hair said.

Whoosh!

The old man with silver hair waved his hand.

Clatter~ A large amount of light and shadow converged in the void, forming a huge light screen, and there were many words on the light screen, which were actually the "Xia Nation characters" that Li Yuan was most familiar with.

"These characters?" Li Yuan was stunned.

"Little guy, since an Ancient Burial Immortal Domain can land in that small dimensional domain of yours, and the Eternal Hall can move you to different dimensional domains at any time, don't tell me you still want to have secrets in front of me?" The old man with silver hair smiled: "As long as I want to know, there is nothing I don't know; don't think too much, choose."

Li Yuan was secretly shocked, and his heart was somewhat chaotic for a moment.

So, this old man with silver hair knew the secret of his "Spiritual Divine Palace"?

It was just that thinking too much now was useless.

Li Yuan looked at the nine choices on the light screen.

——

1. Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce Token (True God Tier): The Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce is one of the most mysterious trading powers in the Divine Realm; holding the token allows one to communicate with the Myriad Worlds Chamber of Commerce and purchase treasures...

2. Myriad Gods Inheritance Cave Abode (True God Tier): Contains the inheritance imprints of one thousand True Gods, one hundred thousand Sovereign inheritance imprints...

3. Tier-Six Civilization Leading Envoy (High-Grade): Tier-Six high-grade civilization mothership, three Sovereign initial-tier puppets, forty Demigod peak puppets...

4. Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Object: Can cause a dimensional plane to undergo an initial evolution once...

5. Heavenly God Inner Sect Disciple Inheritance Treasure: Law Mirror (aligned with oneself), Source Divine Weapon (Sovereign Divine Artifact)...

6. Heavenly God Inner Sect Disciple Inheritance Treasure: Source Treasure (aligned with oneself)...

7. One True Divine Artifact (cannot exceed the value limit)

8. One Dimensional Teleportation Token: Can teleport across vast star domains, cannot be blocked by those below Heavenly God, is a top-tier life-saving item...

9. One Ten-Layer Star Art (provides rare materials for cultivation up to the Fourth Rank): The truly perfect star art between heaven and earth, there are nine types of Ten-Layer Star Arts to choose from; please note, the cultivation difficulty of Ten-Layer Star Arts is extremely high, please choose carefully; the following are the cultivation requirements...

"These nine choices."

"Some are the same as what Alliance Leader Dongfang's message described, but some aspects are different." Li Yuan secretly thought: "It seems that every Gold-Robed member has a different experience, and the treasures they can obtain are also different."

"Which ones should I choose?" Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

Of the nine treasures, the first four are clearly biased towards leading an entire civilization, while the latter five are biased towards personal powerful evolution.

"When Alliance Leader Dongfang was a Gold-Robed member, he could only choose three." Li Yuan secretly thought: "He ultimately chose 2, 3, and 5; only one item was chosen for himself."

Most of the treasures from the 2 and 3 items chosen by Senior Dongfang Ji were ultimately left to the Seven Star Civilization.

"Although I lost the four treasure choices of a Silver-Robed member, the value of those four treasures combined probably doesn't even equal one treasure of a Gold-Robed member." Li Yuan pondered silently: "I can now choose four."

After a little thought.

"Senior, I have decided." Li Yuan said: "I choose these four treasures: 4, 5, 8, and 9."

Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Object, Heavenly God Inner Sect Disciple Inheritance Treasure, Dimensional Teleportation Token, Ten-Layer Star Art.

This was Li Yuan's choice.

"Confirmed?" The old man with silver hair said: "Once confirmed, it cannot be changed; even if you complete the Purple-Robed mission later, the reward for a Purple-Robed member is only one item and cannot be chosen."

"Only one reward?" Li Yuan pondered.

This was the first time he had learned about the reward for a Purple-Robed member; it was not mentioned in Alliance Leader Dongfang's intelligence.

"Like that Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Object, it doesn't have much help for you personally." The old man with silver hair said: "It only helps the evolution of your home civilization."

"Confirmed." Li Yuan said directly; the Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Object, while seemingly useless to him personally, was actually the first one he confirmed he wanted to choose.

Back then, Alliance Leader Dongfang's choices did not include this treasure.

Although he didn't know why nearly half of the treasure choices for Silver-Robed and Gold-Robed members were for helping dimensional civilizations.

But since there was an opportunity, Li Yuan naturally would not hesitate.

"Good, wait a moment."

The old man in silver robes did not ask any more questions; all nine treasures already had detailed introductions, and the path of cultivation must ultimately be walked by oneself.

Whatever Li Yuan chose, whether or not it was most beneficial to him, he would have to bear the results himself.

Clatter~

The old man with silver hair waved his hand, the void rippled slightly, and immediately following that, several items appeared.

"This is that Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Object." The old man with silver hair pointed to the crystal-clear red sphere the size of a human head and said: "As for the specific method of use, as long as you sense it with your spiritual sense, you will know... Remember, you must return to your home civilization to activate it; otherwise, if you use it halfway, the process is irreversible."

"Understood." Li Yuan nodded.

"This is the Dimensional Teleportation Token." The old man with silver hair pointed to another nearly transparent token and said: "It is the same; once you use it, you will travel through the void; for example, if you are in your home dimensional domain, once you use it, you can directly descend into other dimensional domains or the Divine Realm... Unless it is a Heavenly God who is extremely skilled at isolating time and space, they will not be able to stop you."

Li Yuan nodded slightly; this was absolutely a top-tier life-saving item... it had been mentioned in Venerable Qiu Bing's data.

Void Displacement Token is a common life-saving item for many True Gods, refined by Heavenly Gods, but if a Heavenly God takes action, they can generally stop it.

And the Dimensional Teleportation Token is one level higher than the Void Displacement Token... Heavenly Gods generally cannot refine it.

It can be said.

Even for a True God powerhouse, if they can obtain a Dimensional Teleportation Token, it is equivalent to having an extra life.

"The two life-saving items left to me by Master Gu Ju are completely useless if facing a True God." Li Yuan secretly thought: "And this Dimensional Teleportation Token, at least before I become a God, is absolutely the best life-saving item."

One can never have too many life-saving items.

Staying alive is always the most important thing.

"Sovereign-tier Source Divine Weapon, it requires observing the essence of your soul to refine the weapon most aligned with your soul; it will take about a day." The old man with silver hair continued: "You must consider what type of weapon you want."

"Soul attack type? Is that possible?" Li Yuan asked.

"No, a Source Divine Weapon is inherently the strongest among divine artifacts of the same rank... If it were a soul divine artifact, the difficulty of refining it would be too great." The old man with silver hair shook his head: "The Gold-Robed member reward is not enough; after all, in this choice of yours, the main treasure is actually the Law Mirror, and the Sovereign-tier Source Divine Weapon is just an accessory."

"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded: "Then refine a long spear; it can maximize my attack."

In terms of life-saving ability, Li Yuan felt that after cultivating "Heaven and Earth River" and "Ten Thousand Shadows Void," he was already strong enough.

Only in terms of attack was he still very lacking.

"Fine." The old man with silver hair said: "I have observed your spear technique cultivation; I will refine the weapon most aligned with your spear technique."

Li Yuan was even more shocked in his heart.

Listening to the meaning, the old man with silver hair was going to refine it himself? A Source Divine Weapon is generally refined by a Heavenly God who has mastered the complete Great Dao laws and is also skilled in artifact refining, which is why it is extremely rare.

Like back then, Senior Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai could easily unleash astonishing strength because they were blessed by Source Divine Weapons.

In the Ancient City of Juexing, according to Li Yuan's observation, even though Jing Kui had been accepted under a Heavenly God's tutelage, he did not have a Source Divine Weapon.

It can be inferred that in the current Ancient City of Juexing, there is probably no Heavenly God capable of refining a Source Divine Weapon.

What kind of existence is this old man with silver hair?

"Don't worry about external objects for now.

"For a cultivator, the most important thing is to strengthen oneself; you have already awakened Nine Star Pulses and have already cultivated to Level 49.9; you must have already separated a 'second spark'; will you try to cultivate the Ten-Layer Star Art first, or use the Law Mirror first?" The old man with silver hair said.

"Let's cultivate the Ten-Layer Star Art first." Li Yuan said solemnly; this was what he was most looking forward to.

"Go." The old man with silver hair pointed to a divine pillar in the distance: "Go straight in."

Li Yuan was stunned.

"Go quickly." The old man with silver hair urged.

"Yes." Li Yuan walked quickly toward the divine pillar in the distance; in his spiritual sense sensing, this divine pillar had nothing special.

But the moment Li Yuan's body touched the divine pillar, his body had already penetrated into it.

The silver divine hall became quiet again, with only the old man with silver hair left.

"The thirty-sixth one."

"Starting to cultivate a Perfect Star Art again." The old man with silver hair muttered secretly: "I don't know how far this little guy will be able to go in the future... Sigh!"

"Eternal... Eternal... Why is this path of eternity so difficult to walk." The old man with silver hair shook his head and sighed, as if he had recalled many past events.

Whoosh~

Li Yuan passed through the divine pillar and found himself in a secret room; the floor was entirely dark green, and as soon as he entered, he felt his heart was unprecedentedly calm.

Subconsciously.

Whoosh! Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, the contact surface with the floor was larger, and his heart felt more and more comfortable.

Hum~

A cyan water droplet appeared out of thin air in mid-air, dripping down silently; in an instant that Li Yuan did not notice, it dripped down and seeped into his forehead.

"Boom!" A surging stream of information instantly exploded in Li Yuan's mind, and a large amount of information surfaced in his heart.

"《Law Heaven Earth》: Ten-Layer Star Art, cultivated to the extreme, can turn the body into heaven and earth, power can break ten thousand laws, is one of the strongest body-refining star arts in the world; the following are the detailed cultivation requirements..."

"《Void True Explanation》: Ten-Layer Star Art, the strongest auxiliary star art of the space lineage, can greatly improve the fit with the space source law, can also be used for combat and fighting, its power in combat is no less than a Nine-Layer Star Art..."

"《Feathers of the Nine Heavens》: Ten-Layer Star Art..."

"《Five Elements Dao Body》: Ten-Layer Star Art..."

Brief information about each Ten-Layer Star Art surged into Li Yuan's heart, a full nine of them, for Li Yuan to choose from.

After a long time, Li Yuan finally digested this information and became completely clear-headed.

"Ten-Layer Star Art, it lives up to the name of perfect!" There was a trace of shock in Li Yuan's eyes: "Each one possesses immense power... if one could cultivate them all, one would naturally traverse heaven and earth."

"It's just a pity that a Nine-Star Pulse can cultivate at most two."

"And now, I can only cultivate one."

"Which one should I choose?"
