Chapter 675: Yunyue's Gift

Dongyue Palace? Li Yuan was puzzled in his heart.

What place is that? Never heard of it.

But Li Yuan reacted very quickly. On the surface, he remained calm and smiled at God King Zihuo: "Brother Zihuo, you said before that you came on your master's orders... which means, it was God Emperor Yunyue who asked you to come?"

"Correct."

"Firstly, my master mentioned you, and secondly, I am also curious about you," God King Zihuo smiled casually: "After all, becoming a God King in over a thousand years is very rare looking across the vast universe... not to mention that you directly opened up a top Eternal Dao, which is even rarer."

"At least, in the Eighth Dark Domain, among the contemporary God Kings, there shouldn't be anyone who cultivates faster than you," God King Zihuo sighed.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

He had once communicated with Xiao Mu; even in the era of the Honghe Universe Alliance, there was no one who cultivated faster than him, not even Supreme Beihe.

With the perfect ten-star pulse as the foundation, plus the blessing of the Source Seed.

Before becoming a God Emperor, his cultivation speed was indeed astonishingly fast.

"Hmm."

"Since it was God Emperor Yunyue who asked Brother Zihuo to come." Li Yuan smiled: "I believe Brother Zihuo still has a true body within the Qing Tian Luo Universe, and can communicate with God Emperor Yunyue at any time, right?"

"I can, I can see my master at any time," God King Zihuo said.

"I would like to ask Brother Zihuo to ask God Emperor Yunyue one sentence." Li Yuan said: "How does it feel to practice in the 'Dongyue Palace'?"

"Dongyue Palace?" A trace of doubt flashed in God King Zihuo's eyes, and he had already guessed a few points in his heart: "Brother Xinyuan, wait a moment."

He closed his eyes.

Li Yuan waited quietly.

The distant Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance.

A dazzling, boundless star, difficult for ordinary people to peer into, deep in the immeasurable River of Time... The purple-robed figure sitting cross-legged, whose aura was ethereal and vast, suddenly opened his eyes: "Dongyue Palace? So that's how it is."

He was God Emperor Yunyue.

As a disciple of Supreme Beihe, and having experienced long years... his strength and vision had already reached an extremely high level.

Looking across the Eighth Dark Domain, he was one of the existences standing at the very peak, and even those existences revered by countless lives as Sovereigns did not dare to slight him.

"Zihuo."

"You should call him Martial Uncle," God Emperor Yunyue said softly: "Be sure to be on good terms with him, remember! Remember!"

"Tell God King Xinyuan."

"Once you arrive at 'Qing Tian Luoxingcheng' in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, you can come to see me," God Emperor Yunyue said, then closed his eyes again.

"Yes."

Chaos Divine Court headquarters, in the palace within the small world.

Call!

God King Zihuo opened his eyes, his divine eyes full of deep meaning. He looked at Li Yuan and said slowly: "Brother Xinyuan, my master has already given instructions."

"Oh?" Li Yuan was curious in his heart.

Suddenly.

God King Zihuo stood up, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Zihuo, greetings, Martial Uncle."

Li Yuan was stunned.

He also never expected that just by mentioning Dongyue Palace, God King Zihuo's attitude would change so drastically.

"Li Yuan."

"Accept it," Xiao Mu's voice sounded: "You mentioned Dongyue Palace, God Emperor Yunyue should know your relationship with me. Although you are not Supreme Beihe's disciple, you can be considered a successor of the Honghe Universe Alliance lineage, and you belong to the same generation as God Emperor Yunyue... Since God King Zihuo is God Emperor Yunyue's disciple, calling you Martial Uncle is appropriate."

"Understood." Li Yuan understood, but also had some doubts in his heart: "Xiao Mu, does God Emperor Yunyue know of your existence?"

"Not completely," Xiao Mu transmitted: "He only knows that another force is hidden on Beichen Star... This is something both God Emperor Yunyue and God Emperor Shenyuan know. Back then, they became Supreme Beihe's personal disciples, and I also communicated with them, but they don't know my background."

Li Yuan understood completely.

Likely, back then, Xiao Mu was disguised in another identity and communicated with the young God Emperor Yunyue and God Emperor Shenyuan.

"Brother Zihuo, no need for this, just call me by my name," Li Yuan hurriedly stood up and helped God King Zihuo up.

Nominal seniority is one thing.

But among practitioners, it ultimately depends on strength... In terms of strength, Li Yuan was far inferior to God King Zihuo, so naturally, he wouldn't be arrogant.

"Since you are my Martial Uncle, the seniority naturally cannot be messed up," God King Zihuo also stood up and smiled: "Martial Uncle, you should also call me 'Zihuo' directly."

After some communication.

Ultimately, at God King Zihuo's request, the seniority and form of address between the two were established.

"Martial Uncle, rest assured, if there are outsiders present, we will address each other as good friends," God King Zihuo smiled: "After all, Martial Uncle becoming a Supreme disciple, I'm afraid you wouldn't want others to know?"

Supreme disciple?

Li Yuan's heart stirred. This was likely because God Emperor Yunyue hadn't told God King Zihuo too clearly... but Li Yuan was too lazy to point it out.

Although he was not Supreme Beihe's disciple, he had indeed received great kindness from Supreme Beihe.

"Zihuo, sit down first," Li Yuan said.

"Hmm."

The two sat down again, and God King Zihuo then said: "Martial Uncle, I came here this time mainly for two purposes. Firstly, to acknowledge you as my Martial Uncle."

"My master is unlike God Emperor Shenyuan. He respects Supreme Beihe extremely highly, and his actions are all based on Supreme Beihe as a benchmark... therefore, my master and God Emperor Shenyuan have a very poor relationship."

"A long time ago, when God Emperor Shenyuan's title wasn't 'God Emperor Shenyuan', after he chose to step onto the path of the Abyss, the two fought," God King Zihuo said.

"Oh?" Li Yuan felt slightly surprised; he indeed didn't know these secrets.

Time passed.

Under God King Zihuo's narration, Li Yuan slowly learned some secrets of the past.

Initially, God Emperor Shenyuan was called "God King Sovereign Yun Jing," and he and the then God King Yunyue were fellow disciples. This title was left behind by Supreme Beihe. Anyone who was a disciple of Supreme Beihe had to use this title.

The two fellow disciples had an excellent relationship... until later, when both became God Emperors.

God Emperor Sovereign Yun Jing ultimately chose to step onto the path of the Abyss... and called himself "God Emperor Shenyuan," and the relationship between the two God Emperors completely broke down.

"Sovereign Yun Jing? Yunyue?" Li Yuan thought to himself.

"The path of the Abyss is what Supreme Beihe hated most," God King Zihuo said: "As far as I know, Supreme Beihe once leveled the eight Immortal Demon Caves of the Immortal Heaven and Earth... and slaughtered over a hundred God Emperors from various Dark Domains of the universe who stepped onto the path of the Abyss, among whom were many Abyss Sovereigns."

"Oh?" Li Yuan was surprised in his heart.

So, Supreme Beihe had such a magnificent history.

"Li Yuan."

"This is also the reason why I am incomparably angry at God Emperor Shenyuan. Supreme Beihe hated the path of the Abyss extremely," Xiao Mu's voice sounded in Li Yuan's heart: "Supreme Beihe once said, even if it were a demon who loved slaughter and burning countless planets, he could tolerate it... Paths are different, but some paths will make practitioners' temperaments become evil and full of destructiveness."

"There is no high or low in the Dao, and there is no good or bad in personality."

"The cycle of life and death is the norm in the world, and even the Universe has a day of destruction and termination," Xiao Mu said: "These are all acknowledged by Supreme Beihe... but the path of the Abyss involves the Eternal Relic 'Abyss', and it is no longer simple slaughter."

"Sacrificing to the Abyss is an unforgivable crime," Xiao Mu said solemnly.

Unforgivable crime?

Li Yuan was thoughtful. It seems that behind the so-called path of the Abyss, there are some deeper secrets hidden.

It's just that Xiao Mu doesn't seem to be very clear about it either.

"Additionally."

"Do you know why Sovereign Yun Jing changed his name to 'God Emperor Shenyuan'?" Xiao Mu suddenly transmitted again.

"I don't know."

"Many titles have great karma, such as calling oneself 'Saint' or 'Heavenly Emperor'... It doesn't matter when one is weak, but once one is powerful, one will inevitably be involved in some great karma in the universe," Xiao Mu said: "Sovereign Yun Jing calling himself God Emperor Shenyuan, in a sense, is his desire to become the embodiment of the will and authority of the Eternal Relic 'Abyss' in the outside world."

"Walking in the world, like the descent of the Abyss."

"He has now cultivated the 'Abyss Spirit Blood' and reached the level of an Abyss Sovereign, clearly getting closer and closer to what he pursues."

Li Yuan listened.

He also didn't expect that just a title would involve so much.

In the palace, Li Yuan was still communicating with God King Zihuo.

"After my master and God Emperor Shenyuan broke off, he also tried many times like the Grandmaster to take action, attempting to strangle the God Emperors and God Kings who stepped onto the path of the Abyss everywhere..." God King Zihuo sighed: "It's a pity that my master's strength is ultimately inferior to the Grandmaster's, and it has always been difficult to eradicate."

"In the era of the Honghe Universe Alliance, almost no one in the Eighth Dark Domain dared to step onto the path of the Abyss, but now there are more and more."

"In other Dark Domains, there are even more."

"To this day."

"Like in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, six more Immortal Demon Caves have been established," God King Zihuo shook his head: "Even in the Eighth Dark Domain, an Abyss Sovereign like God Emperor Shenyuan has been born, yet no one can do anything to him."

Li Yuan sighed in his heart.

Time changes.

Even if one is as powerful as a Supreme, revered in the universe, and known as invincible, setting rules for a domain... once one passes away, things are no longer the same.

Nothing in the world lasts forever.

"Are the Immortal Demon Caves built by Abyss Sovereigns?" Li Yuan asked.

"Correct."

"Each Immortal Demon Cave is cast from massive amounts of Abyss Spirit Blood. The Abyss Sovereign within possesses inconceivable combat power, and it is difficult to contend with them unless one is a Supreme," God King Zihuo said solemnly: "Therefore, each Abyss Demon Cave will trigger a huge disaster in the Immortal Heaven and Earth."

Li Yuan pondered. So, there are six Abyss Sovereigns active in the Immortal Heaven and Earth so far?

However.

This is not necessarily the number of "Abyss Sovereigns" in the entire universe; after all, God Emperor Shenyuan did not build an Immortal Demon Cave.

"Martial Uncle, your talent is extraordinary."

"The hope of becoming a God Emperor in the future is great, and you are in the Heart Dream Universe... I'm afraid you will go to war with God Emperor Shenyuan," God King Zihuo smiled: "In the future, if possible, if I can help you, Martial Uncle, I will definitely be called."

"Good." Li Yuan nodded.

If other God Kings said this, it would be a bit arrogant... but it was God King Zihuo who said it. Once he takes the fourth step on the Eternal Dao, he will be a peak God Emperor existence.

If both Eternal Daos take the fourth step, it will be even more terrifying.

However.

Even with God King Zihuo's peerless talent, pushing a top Eternal Dao to the fourth step is extremely difficult... let alone two Eternal Daos?

It can only be said that it is possible.

"My master asked me to come, and the second purpose is to present a congratulatory gift." God King Zihuo flipped his palm, and a storage treasure appeared in his palm.

"Congratulatory gift?" Li Yuan looked at the storage treasure, his divine sense moved, and he probed inside, immediately revealing a trace of shock: "One million Eternal Crystals?"

"Too much." Li Yuan shook his head.

This congratulatory gift was indeed a bit heavy.

"Haha, is it much? Not much?" God King Zihuo smiled: "Martial Uncle, these few Eternal Crystals, let alone for my master's level, even I can easily take them out... It's just that my master thought that you, Martial Uncle, had just become a God King and your accumulation was not deep enough, so my master asked me to send a portion."

Li Yuan smiled helplessly.

For a peerless God King like God King Zihuo who rivals a God Emperor, one million Eternal Crystals is indeed not much... The wealth of the strong climbs sharply as their strength increases.

"The second gift."

"Is the 'River of Worlds', this was prepared by my master specifically for you." God King Zihuo smiled and waved his hand, and a dark purple ring appeared in his palm.

And Li Yuan scanned it at a glance. This was not a ring at all, but a stream of air composed of countless dark purple particles.

But after further observation.

Li Yuan's horizon changed sharply, and an invisible fluctuation of the World Dao had dissipated.

"This?" Li Yuan's pupils shrank. Those so-called dark purple particles were clearly boundless worlds.

Each world was so real.

There were countless lives multiplying within, there were technological worlds, martial arts worlds, magic worlds... Countless particles were countless small worlds.

And between the countless small worlds, there were countless mysterious Dao patterns linked to each other, full of mysteries, making these countless small worlds circulate with each other, forming a complete whole.

One world, one particle.

World as a river!

"This? River of Worlds?" Li Yuan held his breath. This treasure gave him a soul-shaking beauty. This was definitely an ultimate application of the World Dao.

"The World Dao can actually operate like this?"

"Transcending above the heavens and earth, not with the origin of the Universe as the core, but another kind of world composition?" Li Yuan only observed for a moment, and countless sparks of thought burst out in his mind.

"Li Yuan."

"God Emperor Yunyue actually sent you the River of Worlds... This treasure is very famous, and there are not many in the entire universe. Although it is not an Emperor Weapon, its power is no less than your 'Universe Lotus', and it is extremely suitable for assisting in Dao comprehension. It can definitely become an inheritance treasure of a major force. Its value is definitely close to an Emperor Weapon," Xiao Mu's voice sounded.

Li Yuan nodded. It can be used for both combat and assisting in Dao comprehension, very similar to the "Universe Lotus", it is definitely a heavy treasure.

Half a moment.

Call! Li Yuan's consciousness fully returned, and he couldn't help but look at God King Zihuo: "Zihuo, this treasure... is too precious."

Compared to the River of Worlds.

The one million Eternal Crystals just now didn't count for much... after all, many treasures are difficult to exchange for with Eternal Crystals.

"The World Dao as a top Eternal Dao is extremely difficult to open up."

"Even in my Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance, no one in the current generation can open up the World Dao," God King Zihuo smiled: "According to my master's meaning, sending this River of Worlds to you, Martial Uncle, is the most appropriate."

"Good."

"I indeed need this treasure very much, so I won't be polite. Thank Brother Yunyue for me," Li Yuan didn't hesitate much.

Although he opened up the Inner Universe and had the Ancient Universe to assist in comprehension, he was destined to walk very fast on the World Dao... but with the River of Worlds, he could also help himself perfect the deduction of the World Dao from other angles, saving more time.

On the path of cultivation, external resources are very important.

Of course.

Accepting someone's treasure is also accepting karma... Li Yuan is equivalent to owing God Emperor Yunyue a piece of karma, which will have to be repaid in the future.

But Li Yuan even bears Xiao Mu's karma.

And the karma of God Emperor Heart Dream, God Emperor Juexing, and other God Emperor existences... is he afraid of one more piece of God Emperor Yunyue's karma?

Debt doesn't worry the debtor.

Striving to strengthen oneself is the royal way.

"The third gift is the 'Qing Tian Luoxingcheng' Protection Token," God King Zihuo flipped his palm, and a slightly illusory token fell in front of Li Yuan.

This token was triangular, purple in its entirety, with a city engraved on one side and strange characters on the other.

Although he didn't recognize the characters, Li Yuan could understand the meaning: "Qing Tian Luo".

"Star City Protection Token?" Li Yuan's heart stirred.

He had obtained the information from God Emperor Juexing and was very clear.

In the Immortal Heaven and Earth, powerhouses from major Dark Domains have established one "Star City" after another. Each Star City represents safety and stable order, naturally gathering a massive number of powerhouses.

The powerhouses of the Eighth Dark Domain mainly gather in Qing Tian Luoxingcheng, Xianling Star City, and Tongyue Star City.

The first two Star Cities were established by the Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance and the Immortal Court... Most of the powerhouses of the Chaos Divine Court, when traveling to the Immortal Heaven and Earth, gather in Qing Tian Luoxingcheng when they are not adventuring.

And Tongyue Star City was established by another legendary powerhouse of the Eighth Dark Domain, "Sovereign Tongyue".

Star City tokens are generally divided into four levels: Star Guard Token, Protection Token, Elder Token, and City Lord Token. Different tokens represent different power and status within the Star City.

The Star Guard Token is for God Kings.

The Protection Token generally requires God Emperor strength and must be recognized by the Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance to be obtained.

The Elder Token usually requires a peak God Emperor powerhouse.

As far as Li Yuan knows, although the Chaos Divine Court is an ally of the Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance, except for the three God Emperors, only two God Kings have obtained the Protection Token, and both are God Kings with extremely terrifying strength whose true bodies can no longer appear in normal universe space-time.

"Zihuo."

"With my strength, I am not yet qualified to obtain the Protection Token, right?" Li Yuan said: "Besides, I am not a member of the Qing Tian Luo Universe Alliance. Is this appropriate?"

"Martial Uncle, my master said you are qualified, so you are qualified," God King Zihuo smiled: "My master is a core elder. One of his true bodies has been in Qing Tian Luoxingcheng all year round, responsible for managing a large amount of the Star City's affairs... Giving you a Protection Token is just a small matter."

Li Yuan nodded and didn't decline anymore. With this Star City Protection Token, traveling in the Immortal Heaven and Earth would indeed be much easier.

"My master also said."

"Once you head to the Immortal Heaven and Earth and arrive at Qing Tian Luoxingcheng, go see him." God King Zihuo said.

"Good." Li Yuan nodded.

"Martial Uncle, there is one more thing I must remind you," God King Zihuo suddenly smiled: "Your newly taken disciple 'Li Shu', from my observation, her fate should be similar to a 'Heavenly Lone Star'."

"Heavenly Lone Star?" Li Yuan's heart moved slightly.

"Fate is very difficult to fathom."

"Even for me, I only dare to say I have peered into a little bit," God King Zihuo said solemnly: "The souls born of life are all incomparably special, originating from the operation of the Universe origin... Like us practitioners creating life, we only create the body of life according to the inherent mysteries of the Dao, but we cannot directly create souls."

"Every life's soul is unique."

"Therefore, many powerhouses suspect that there is reincarnation in this world," God King Zihuo said.

"I have also heard of the theory of reincarnation," Li Yuan said.

The theory of reincarnation is very prevalent, and even among the nine top Eternal Daos, there is a "Reincarnation Dao", and the Reincarnation Dao is also extremely mysterious.

"Special fate."

"Represents that in the dark, her fortune will also be very special. It may bring you huge benefits, or it may bring you great hidden dangers," God King Zihuo said: "When she is weak, she cannot influence you, but when she becomes a Heavenly God or even a God King... her fate becomes increasingly powerful, and her influence on you will become greater and greater."

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"I believe in fate, but I also don't," Li Yuan said: "I believe that fate is in one's own hands."

The strong absolutely believe in themselves.

Li Yuan acknowledges God King Zihuo's words... from Li Shu's past experiences, it seems this can be verified.

But Li Yuan has no fear.

A disciple's fate influencing him? What a joke!

Li Yuan taking Li Shu as a disciple was not because her fate timeline was special, but more because her special experience resonated with Li Yuan's heart.

"Haha."

"Right, fate is in our own hands. Anyway, it's just a small matter," God King Zihuo smiled and said no more.

Time passed, and the two communicated for a while longer.

"Martial Uncle, I will take my leave first," God King Zihuo said: "I also have a true body in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, so I will wait for your arrival, Martial Uncle. We will discuss the Dao again then."

"Hmm, I will see you off." Li Yuan stood up.

Sending God King Zihuo out of the Divine Court headquarters, Li Yuan returned to the sky above Juexing Continent, walking in the void, with no one able to detect his existence.

"Xiao Mu."

"It seems this God Emperor Yunyue values me highly," Li Yuan transmitted.

"Hmm."

"The gifts he sent are all very useful to you," Xiao Mu's voice also sounded: "I have also communicated with God Emperor Yunyue and observed him carefully back then. He was kind-hearted... but long years have passed, who knows his temperament? Just like God Emperor Shenyuan, who knew he would become what he is today? Even if God Emperor Yunyue's strength is not equal to a Sovereign, I'm afraid it's not far off."

"Such an existence cannot be fully trusted just because of a little profit."

"Who knows if he is setting a trap for you?"

"Once you arrive at the Immortal Heaven and Earth, go get the gift I left for you first, then see the situation before going to see him," Xiao Mu said: "If he is sincere, then you treat him with sincerity and repay the karma in the future."

"Hmm, good."

In another small world, God King Mingyu had been waiting leisurely on the surface, but was quite anxious inside: "Why hasn't he come yet?"

She didn't know.

Inside the Juexing Emperor Palace, in Li Yuan's palace, he had already summoned Liu Bing.

"Big Brother." Liu Bing, in green clothes, ran over, looking very beautiful.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is the "Heavenly God Qing Tian Bing" who is cold as ice and has immense power, but she has always been very lively in front of Li Yuan.

"Little Bing, how has your cultivation been recently?" Li Yuan smiled.

"Not bad."

"I have already cultivated many star techniques to the seventh-stage extreme... with the help of the treasures you bestowed upon me last time, Big Brother, my comprehension of the Laws of Space is also very fast," Liu Bing said: "Master has also helped me a lot."

Her master was God King Fengyan, who valued her very much.

Li Yuan was not stingy with treasures towards her, which could be called "doted upon", which was also the reason why Liu Bing's status in the Divine Court had risen.

In terms of strength, she only had the combat power of a fourth-stage Heavenly God with the help of multiple God King weapons, but most God Monarchs were very polite to her.

Because.

Behind her stood two God Kings... one of whom was Li Yuan.

"There is one thing I must ask you."

"Please speak, Big Brother."

"You obtained the inheritance of God King Tianqing... Among the many treasures left behind by God King Tianqing, is there a 'Suimo Star Token'?"
