Chapter 689
Quasi-Saint? Li Yuan heard the other party's address, and his heart moved.
In the Eighth Dark Domain, in the Star God cultivation system, eighth-rank practitioners are divided into two major levels: Space God King and Dao-Opening God King.
And in the vast universe, countless practitioners are more accustomed to calling eighth-rank practitioners who have opened the Dao 'Quasi-Saints'.
As for ninth-rank practitioners, each has taken the fourth step of the Eternal Dao and essentially belongs to the Quasi-Saint category, but countless practitioners are more accustomed to collectively calling them 'Emperor Realm' to distinguish them from eighth-rank practitioners.
"I have been to the Immortal Heaven and Earth before and have received an Immortal Order." God King Dongmang said: "But this brother of mine is here for the first time and has not yet received one."
"First time here?" The red-armored God Guard nodded slightly: "Then please follow me, Quasi-Saint, to the Holy Palace to receive the Immortal Order."
"Good." Li Yuan nodded: "Can this brother of mine follow?"
"As long as you are willing, you can." The red-armored God Guard was quite reasonable.
Swish! Swish! Swish! The three turned into streams of light and flew towards the higher part of this towering palace; this scene was naturally also noticed by the practitioners from many dark domains on the square.
"Actually being received by a red-armored God Guard."
"Could it be a Quasi-Saint?"
"Two Quasi-Saints?"
"The red-armored God Guard is very arrogant towards us, but very polite to Quasi-Saints." Many practitioners sighed secretly.
Strength determines status.
Even the 'God Guards' from the Immortal Divine Palace look at people to decide how to treat them.
"Senior brother, it seems that those practitioners on the square are all just ordinary eighth-rank." Li Yuan transmitted his voice; it is very difficult to distinguish whether they have opened the Dao just from their life aura.
"Mm." God King Dongmang nodded in response: "Junior brother, you have always lived inside the Universe Realm, and the eighth-rank practitioners you have seen are all God Kings, so you think opening the Dao is easy... When you go to more places and experience more, you will understand that among the countless practitioners in the vast universe, those who have opened the Dao are the minority."
"God Kings are destined to be able to open the Dao."
"Therefore, any God King, as long as they cultivate in seclusion for hundreds of thousands of years, can generally become a powerhouse among eighth-rank practitioners." God King Dongmang said solemnly.
Li Yuan nodded slightly.
This is also the reason why the Star God cultivation system is called the 'strongest'; breaking through is indeed difficult, but once successful, the potential is also astonishing.
Swish! Swish!
Li Yuan and God King Dongmang followed the red-armored God Guard and flew into the clouds; there were many small palaces visible to the naked eye deep in the clouds.
Each small palace emitted a magnificent aura, as if eternal.
"Junior brother."
"Inside the Immortal Heaven and Earth, the highest status belongs to the three major Immortal Divine Palaces, which transcend all star cities." God King Dongmang transmitted his voice: "In name, most of us powerhouses from cosmic space-time are under the command of the Immortal Divine Palace."
"The three major Immortal Divine Palaces are eternal and indestructible."
"Legend has it that they have existed since the Immortal Heaven and Earth appeared... Legend has it that they originate from the opener of the Immortal Heaven and Earth."
"These Immortal God Guards should all be puppet bodies, but each is eternal and indestructible, with at least the strength of the Emperor realm threshold." God King Dongmang said solemnly: "In short, do not offend them."
"Mm." Li Yuan nodded; he already roughly knew this information before.
The three Immortal Divine Palaces are incomparably mysterious.
They are located in three areas of the Immortal Heaven and Earth... they manage the entire Immortal Heaven and Earth, and the Gates of Immortality in the 81 dark domains all lead to the Immortal Divine Palace.
The establishment of each star city is also 'authorized' by the Immortal Divine Palace.
They are like the managers and protectors of the Immortal Heaven and Earth.
"Two Quasi-Saints, inside the Immortal Divine Palace, remember not to wander around, follow me." The red-armored God Guard said in a low voice.
"Understood." God King Dongmang and Li Yuan nodded hurriedly.
Following all the way.
The three flew into a large palace; the gate of this palace was also a million kilometers high... but compared to the entire Immortal Divine Palace, it was like dust.
The palace was empty.
There were no decorations, only a purple sphere with a diameter of about ten thousand stars floating at the end... It emitted a hazy purple light, and an eternal aura diffused, making God King Dongmang and Li Yuan hold their breath.
Seeing it with his own eyes.
Li Yuan realized more and more that this vast universe is indeed full of wonders; like the Immortal Heaven and Earth, powerhouses of all generations in cosmic space-time have wanted to understand the details... but it seems no one can do it.
Even Xiao Mu only had a half-understanding.
"How should this Quasi-Saint be addressed?" The red-armored God Guard looked at Li Yuan.
"Xinyuan." Li Yuan said.
"Mm, Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, please stand under the Immortal Heaven Mirror, do not resist... The Immortal Heaven Mirror will probe your realm, strength, and potential, and based on this, give you an Immortal Order level." The red-armored God Guard said: "This also relates to some of your permissions in the Immortal Divine Palace."
"Mm." Li Yuan nodded, flying to land under the purple sphere.
The Immortal Heaven Mirror had been mentioned in the intelligence Xiao Mu gave him... it was very safe, and there had been no accidents in the long years.
God King Dongmang stood in the distance observing.
"Junior brother's potential is astonishing, I wonder if the Immortal Heaven Mirror will see that he is in the Heavenly God realm." God King Dongmang thought to himself: "Perhaps he can get a 'Four-Star Immortal Order' at once."
Immortal Orders, according to permissions from low to high, are from one star, two stars, three stars up to seven stars... There is an essential difference between a three-star Immortal Order and a four-star Immortal Order.
Hum~
When Li Yuan arrived under the Immortal Heaven Mirror, a hazy purple light was released majestically, completely shrouding Li Yuan, and strands of strange power penetrated into Li Yuan's body, probing inch by inch of flesh and blood until the Godhead inside the God body... Li Yuan wanted to avoid it, but found there was no way to resist.
"What special power." Li Yuan was shocked in his heart.
He had heard of the Immortal Heaven Mirror, but only by truly feeling it did he understand its magic and special nature... it was simply unimaginable.
"Li Yuan, do not resist."
"Back then, when Brother Beihe achieved the Supreme realm and promoted his Immortal Order to seven stars, he couldn't hide from the Immortal Heaven Mirror's probing." Xiao Mu's voice sounded: "The means left behind by an eternal existence cannot be resisted by cosmic life."
Li Yuan nodded slightly, silently enduring.
Time passed; Li Yuan himself could hardly notice it, but from the perspective of God King Dongmang and the red-armored God Guard, the light emitted by Li Yuan's God body became increasingly brilliant and dazzling.
"Two stars?"
"This newly arrived Quasi-Saint seems quite extraordinary, he should have the strength of a three-step God King." The red-armored God Guard laughed casually.
Limited by the rules, he was very polite to every Quasi-Saint.
But an owner of a two-star Immortal Order? He had seen too many; it was not strange, and he only thought of Li Yuan as a God King who had cultivated for long years.
"Mm." God King Dongmang nodded vaguely, but was secretly doubtful in his heart: "Junior brother, is it only a two-star Immortal Order?"
Suddenly.
Chi chi chi~ The purple light emitted by Li Yuan's whole body suddenly became much more dazzling... increasingly blinding, making the red-armored God Guard squint: "Three stars?"
A one-star Immortal Order can generally be obtained by a one-step God King.
A two-star Immortal Order is generally only qualified for by a three-step God King.
A three-star Immortal Order generally requires the strength of a complete God King, and usually requires obtaining enough 'Immortal Merits'... or having huge potential.
Li Yuan was here for the first time, so he certainly had no Immortal Merits.
That must be astonishing potential.
"Is it opening a top-tier Eternal Dao? Is his strength strong enough? Or other reasons?" Many thoughts flashed through the red-armored God Guard's mind.
The next instant.
Boom! The purple light on Li Yuan's whole body surged again... the light covered the sky and the earth, already shrouding more than half of the palace; this scene made the red-armored God Guard reveal a trace of astonishment: "Four stars? An eighth-rank practitioner arriving for the first time gets a four-star Immortal Order?"
In the long years, he had been responsible for receiving newly arrived Quasi-Saints to obtain Immortal Orders.
But eighth-rank practitioners who directly obtain a four-star Immortal Order are also extremely rare; in his hundred-billion-year life... they could be counted on one hand.
"Sure enough!"
"With Junior Brother Li Yuan's special nature, he obtained a four-star Immortal Order." God King Dongmang's eyes lit up; he knew Li Yuan's terrifying potential very clearly.
In terms of strength, Li Yuan was not qualified to obtain a four-star Immortal Order... after all, this generally requires God Emperor strength.
But in terms of potential, Li Yuan was completely different.
"Four stars, could this be a peerless genius expected to become a Master?" The red-armored God Guard thought to himself; he was too familiar with the rules of the Immortal Heaven Mirror.
It is very favorable to those with huge potential.
Just as the red-armored God Guard wanted to remind Li Yuan that he could leave the Immortal Heaven Mirror... 'Boom!' In the purple light that Li Yuan was already emitting endlessly, strands of even more scorching golden light erupted.
Endless golden light.
Completely illuminated the entire hall, making the hall fall into unprecedented brightness, as if it had fallen into a world of gold... and Li Yuan was the absolute master of this golden heaven and earth.
Silence!
At this moment.
Whether it was God King Dongmang or the red-armored God Guard, they stared at Li Yuan in extreme shock... there was some disbelief in their eyes.
"Immortal golden light appears, five stars?" The red-armored God Guard muttered to himself: "How is it possible! How can an eighth-rank practitioner directly obtain a five-star Immortal Order?"
Long years!
This was the first case in his reception years... even in his exchanges with other red-armored God Guards, he had never heard of it.
"Five stars?"
"Under normal circumstances, a five-star Immortal Order that can only be obtained with peak God Emperor strength? This! This! Is this Junior Brother's true potential?" God King Dongmang was also shocked by this.
A four-star Immortal Order already felt unimaginable to him. A five-star Immortal Order? He had never dared to think about it... even most God Emperors could not obtain a five-star Immortal Order.
What kind of terrifying potential is this?
After a while, everything was calm; Li Yuan only felt his whole body warm, and immediately following, an invisible force left a brand on the essence of his soul.
The brand was born, and naturally, it was transmitted to his other true bodies through karmic destiny... even in the soul origins of the many true bodies far away in the Heart Dream Universe Realm, an identical brand was born.
This means is indeed extraordinary.
The Immortal Order is not a physical object, but a special brand left in the soul... even if these two true bodies of Li Yuan fall, it will make no difference when other true bodies come to the Immortal Heaven and Earth in the future.
"Five-star Immortal Order?"
"My Immortal Merits are 0?" Li Yuan naturally obtained the information transmitted from the soul brand and couldn't help but be stunned.
Five stars?
Li Yuan also knew the difference between Immortal Orders.
A five-star Immortal Order is already very high-level.
"Li Yuan, what level are you? Is it four stars? With your potential, you should be able to get a four-star Immortal Order." Xiao Mu's voice sounded; what he was following Li Yuan with now was just a 'Universe Realm Holy Spirit Body', with only the strength of a God King threshold, so it was difficult to probe the outside world too much.
"It is a five-star Immortal Order." Li Yuan said directly.
"Five... what, a five-star Immortal Order?" Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed loudly: "Good good good! A good five-star Immortal Order! Haha, the Immortal Divine Palace actually gave a five-star Immortal Order."
"Back then."
"When Brother Beihe first arrived at the Immortal Heaven and Earth, it was only a four-star Immortal Order... This Immortal Order is harder to promote the further you go, I didn't expect you to directly obtain a five-star Immortal Order."
"It seems."
"The Immortal Heaven Mirror has figured out your background and also recognizes your potential incomparably." Xiao Mu said excitedly: "This will be of great benefit to your venturing in the Immortal Heaven and Earth."
"Benefit?" Li Yuan was doubtful.
He hadn't heard that the Immortal Order had any special privileges.
Life-and-death combat still relies on strength.
"The Immortal Order represents the 'exchange permission' in the Immortal Divine Palace... but according to Brother Beihe's deduction, the Immortal Order also represents the 'luck' blessing of a powerhouse in the Immortal Heaven and Earth." Xiao Mu said hurriedly: "Your luck in cosmic space-time is strong, but that doesn't mean your luck in the Eternal Ruins is strong; the space-time here is completely independent... But there is also luck in the Immortal Heaven and Earth."
"Therefore, the luck of all powerhouses in the Immortal Heaven and Earth needs to be acquired again."
"The Immortal Order is the foundation."
"You directly obtained a five-star Immortal Order, which means the Immortal Divine Palace values you... In the dark, you will also receive more luck blessing in this space-time of the Immortal Heaven and Earth; when you venture and adventure, your luck will be better, and when you fight with powerhouses, the probability of your soul transformation will be higher."
"In short, this is a great benefit." Xiao Mu sighed.
Li Yuan was secretly shocked; it turned out that the Immortal Order had such a special effect.
"Hehe."
"Five-star Immortal Order... then you have to accumulate a lot of Immortal Merits." Xiao Mu said: "Accumulate enough, and you can exchange for a large number of rare treasures."
"Mm." Li Yuan nodded.
Why do powerhouses from major dark domains come to the Immortal Heaven and Earth to venture and adventure?
Besides the fact that the Immortal Heaven and Earth itself gives birth to many rare treasures... another reason is that through 'Immortal Merits', one can exchange for many heavy treasures that are difficult to see in normal cosmic space-time.
The Immortal Order level represents exchange permission.
This is also the reason why Xiao Mu asked Li Yuan to come and venture only when he was a 'two-step God King'... theoretically, even Heavenly Gods can enter the Immortal Heaven and Earth.
But what can they do if they come in? If they haven't opened the Dao, they can't even get an Immortal Order.
They have no qualification to accumulate Immortal Merits.
"Take it slow."
"Five-star Immortal Order, tsk tsk... Li Yuan, your starting point in the Immortal Heaven and Earth is already a big step higher than Brother Beihe's back then." Xiao Mu laughed.
While Li Yuan was communicating with Xiao Mu via voice transmission, he had already exited the range covered by the Immortal Heaven Mirror, and the entire palace returned to normal.
"Five-star Immortal Order."
"Quasi-Saint Xinyuan... Congratulations! I don't know if you are the first eighth-rank practitioner to obtain a five-star Immortal Order." The red-armored God Guard's attitude changed again, even with a trace of respect: "But at least, you are the first one I know of."
"First one? Eighth-rank?" Li Yuan thought to himself.
His obtaining a five-star Immortal Order is probably inseparable from the fact that he is still in the Heavenly God realm.
"Regarding your Immortal Order level, the Immortal Divine Palace will not leak it... you have to be careful yourself." The red-armored God Guard couldn't help but entrust him with one more sentence.
"Mm." Li Yuan nodded.
He understood that once the news that he obtained a 'five-star Immortal Order' spread... the shock it caused, even if it was not as good as exposing his Heavenly God realm identity, would probably be about the same.
"Junior brother, I just told Master about this news." God King Dongmang revealed a trace of an awkward smile: "This matter is too major, so I..."
"No matter."
"It is right for Master to know about this matter." Li Yuan laughed.
He trusted Senior Brother Dongmang very much.
Moreover, even if God King Dongmang didn't say it, Li Yuan intended to report it himself.
"Mm." God King Dongmang also breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "Junior brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
In the Eighth Dark Domain, the Universe Realm Boat was flying at high speed, and the flow of time inside was almost completely static.
"Five-star Immortal Order?"
"This disciple of mine." God Emperor Juexing opened his eyes, a trace of shock in his eyes: "Could it be because of opening multiple top-tier Eternal Daos in the Heavenly God realm?"
With God Emperor Juexing's vision, he felt it was very unimaginable.
"Didn't expect."
"Unknowingly, in some aspects, this disciple of mine has actually surpassed me." God Emperor Juexing sighed secretly.
His true body had also ventured in the Immortal Heaven and Earth for long years.
But until now, he had only obtained a 'four-star Immortal Order'... even the Chaos God Emperor only had a five-star Immortal Order.
"Further on."
"Perhaps in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, for some things, I will have to ask this disciple of mine for help instead." God Emperor Juexing revealed a smile.
He was very happy in his heart.
In hundreds of millions of years, he had taught a large number of disciples... but Li Yuan was the first disciple who could truly give him some help.
Inside the Immortal Heaven and Earth.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan and God King Dongmang flew out of the clouds and landed on the square again, drawing the side-eyes of many powerhouses.
Most powerhouses were very sensible, and their attitudes changed a lot.
"Two Quasi-Saints, you can wait here for some years." The red-armored God Guard said: "The 'Qing Tian Luoxingcheng' you want to go to generally has an Emperor Boat coming to the Second Divine Palace to pick people up every hundred years, and it is estimated to be another twenty years until the next time."
"And the 'Divine Boat' of the Divine Palace escorts once every ten thousand years, and it will be three thousand years until the next escort starts."
Li Yuan and God King Dongmang looked at each other.
Twenty years?
Three thousand years?
The Immortal Heaven and Earth is incomparably vast; except for the three major Immortal Divine Palaces which are absolutely safe, one may encounter danger at any time in other places... Therefore, all major star cities will arrange fixed warships responsible for personnel transport between the star city and the three major Immortal Divine Palaces.
Otherwise, for some eighth-rank practitioners who have not opened the Dao, the probability of falling while crossing the Immortal Heaven and Earth alone is too high.
And the Immortal Divine Palace will also arrange 'Divine Boats' to land in major star cities in turn; the Divine Boat is almost absolutely safe... but the disadvantage is that the waiting time is extremely long.
"Thank you for the reminder, God Guard." God King Dongmang smiled: "But our two brothers will go to Qing Tian Luoxingcheng alone."
"Fine." The red-armored God Guard nodded and said no more.
In his view, with the strength of Li Yuan and God King Dongmang, it is not difficult to protect themselves while venturing in the Immortal Heaven and Earth.
After all, Quasi-Saints originally need to adventure in life and death in the many dangerous places of the Immortal Heaven and Earth.
If they are even afraid of traveling, why come at all?
"Junior brother, let's go."
God King Dongmang waved his hand, and a dark black warship appeared; he drilled directly into it, and Li Yuan followed.
Swish!
The warship soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the dark star river.
This scene also made those eighth-rank practitioners still waiting on the square envious... with their strength, they would not dare to travel alone in the Immortal Heaven and Earth.
Not long after, the dark black warship had left the range of the Immortal Divine Palace.
Moving forward in the endless dark star sky.
"In the Immortal Heaven and Earth, one generally needs Emperor-realm strength to traverse the void." God King Dongmang said: "Therefore, we can only fly slowly."
"It will take about forty-six days to reach Qing Tian Luoxingcheng."
"We may be assassinated by Abyss life at any time... Junior brother, be sure to be careful." God King Dongmang said solemnly.
