Chapter 769: The Magic World, Foundation of the Gods

Thinking of that Shan Xuan Huang Elder for only an instant, Li Yuan had already severed the thought in his heart; regarding this old tree, he felt deep apprehension.

"I fear these so-called Shan Xuan Huang Nine Sons are all cultivators from the outside world..."

Through the Sword Lotus Body, Li Yuan concentrated his spirit to perceive the magic net.

"Voom~"

Through the Sword Lotus Body, Li Yuan saw a dazzling galaxy, where various colors intertwined, divine thoughts and characters flew together, all coming from other cultivators within the magic net.

He only glanced once and saw countless willful rumors, some in awe, others envious or hateful, numbering in the tens of thousands.

In less than a day, those favored by Shan Xuan Huang had already spread explosively throughout the three thousand worlds of Shan Xuan Huang.

"Qian, Ding Yun, Feng Yun... all are pseudonyms."

Li Yuan gazed for a moment, gathered his thoughts, and instead looked toward the Weapon Storage Space.

Since arriving in the Shan Xuan Huang World, he had never stopped listening, even at the cost of seventh-tier or higher incense, yet he still had not seen any intelligence regarding the Three Sages of Shan Xuan Huang, the Five Emperors, or that Shan Xuan Huang World Tree.

But below the Five Emperors, even intelligence on giants like the Twelve Jin Xian would occasionally appear, one or two pieces at a time.

Naturally, those below the Twelve Jin Xian were far more numerous.

"... Somewhere in Shan Xuan Wei Fa Jie, after brief contemplation, Qin Qian, feeling protected by the Great Luo Record, feared no hidden dangers in the bestowal, thus chose the bestowal; within half a day he returned to the Fifth Realm, with sufficient magic power and divine power, possessing cultivation capable of attracting the Tribulation of Dao Formation..."

"... In the ancient era, when Shan Xuan Huang invaded the Present World, they plucked vast star domains, sweeping in trillions of living beings into Shan Xuan Huang, some of whom reside in Yu Fa Jie... In a broken temple somewhere in Yu Fa Jie, colors intertwined; after brief hesitation, Ding Yun Fa Jie chose magic power bestowal, intending to forge Qi Fa Fa Jie with his mighty magic power..."

"... Shan Xuan Yang Jian Fa Jie was formed when the Shan Xuan Huang World Tree spat out a broken sword from the Chaos Sea; all beings born there carry sword intent. On this day, Shan Xuan Huang colors appeared in this realm; amidst the roaring of a hundred million swords, Xu Xu Xunyi sought to forge the magic world 'Great Sumeru Mountain'..."

On the gray Dingxin Dingxin Shitai, various listening threads intertwined into a tapestry.

Li Yuan listened quietly and summarized, seeing many familiar figures within them.

"Ding Yun Fa Jie, Xu Xu Xunyi, Lu Yue and Han Han Qiwei of the Bei Dou Fa Jie domain, You Xuanjing Daozi of the Tianli Sect in the Dashan Xuan Fa Jie domain..."

"And that junior brother..."

"The Shan Xuan Huang Nine Sons, counting me, currently known to include seven from the outside world; the remaining two may not be native cultivators of the Shan Xuan Huang Fa Jie either..."

Li Yuan's heart sank slightly as he pondered the intentions of that Shan Xuan Huang Elder.

Truly no one available, or does he wish to borrow the power of the Dao Sect?

He pondered for a long time but gained little, only increasing his vigilance and amplifying the number of listening threads.

"At worst, I can halt the martial exhibition."

After a long while, Li Yuan finally suppressed his distracting thoughts and reorganized the listening threads concerning Qin Qian and others.

"They all chose the bestowal!"

Li Yuan tallied the listening threads.

Ding Yun Fa Jie, Qin Qian, and the other seven, whether early or late, all chose the bestowal within a single day, though their choices differed.

For instance, Han Han Qiwei and You Xuanjing Daozi chose spell bestowal, while Ding Yun Fa Jie, Xu Xu Xunyi, and others chose magic power bestowal, showing they were not entirely without caution regarding the magic net.

Only Qin Qian was reckless, accepting all kinds of bestowals at once.

Of course, he clearly understood that these few were so bold because they were within the 'Wei Tian Martial Exhibition'; whatever misfortune arose, the Great Luo Record could erase it all.

In fact, Li Yuan himself trusted the Great Luo Record immensely; otherwise, he would not have so boldly sought favor from Shan Xuan Huang.

"Cultivation via bestowal is indeed fast; in less than a day, they all condensed Qi Fa Fa Jie..."

Li Yuan sighed a few times, then immediately steadied his spirit, continuing to listen and monitoring intelligence and movements within the magic net.

In a flash, a year had passed.

In that year, the Ying Mo Shen continued to cautiously explore Tan Suo Zui Fa Jie, while the Sword Lotus Body, under the protection of cultivators from the Three Sages Sect, descended the mountain to wander Ling Miao Fa Jie, measuring Shanhe, comprehending heaven and earth, and digesting the Shan Xuan Huang Elder's gift at a leisurely pace.

As for Li Yuan's true body, he practiced medicine in Heishan City.

That evening, Li Yuan closed the shop as usual, returned to the courtyard, did not enter the house, but lay on a rocking chair, squinting as he gazed at the setting sun.

"Throughout the ages, those favored by Shan Xuan Huang received audiences with the giants of Shan Xuan Huang in as little as the time to drink a cup of tea, or at most three to five days; at the very least, an imperial decree or reward would descend..."

"It has already been a year; it seems the Great World of Shan Xuan Huang is far more empty than I imagined."

Li Yuan felt somewhat alarmed.
