High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 1335

Chapter 1335: Chapter 608: Enlightenment Arrives

“Heart Origin, impressive!”

“Actually ranked directly fifth.”

“Fifth, within my Chaos Divine Court, only second to Ming Fang Divine Monarch, haha.” Many Divine Monarchs reviewed the Heavenly God List rankings, and upon seeing Li Yuan’s rank, they couldn’t help but commend him.

In the past, the Divine Realm was vast, and top Divine Monarchs were scattered across the realm, making it difficult to have opportunities to battle each other, so the Heavenly God List often changed little over hundreds or even thousands of years.

But in just a few months.

Heavenly gods from major powers across the Divine Realm descended upon Beichen Star, clashing and battling endlessly in treasure spaces, like Li Yuan fighting with Yun Guang Divine Monarch and Huo Yu Divine Monarch, while other powerhouses from great powers also engaged in constant battles.

Naturally, a large number of dazzling figures emerged.

But without a doubt, the fastest rising and most dazzling among them is Li Yuan.

He already carried the reputation of the ‘number one genius of the contemporary Divine Realm.’

“An Dao, you were ranked fifth before, but now Heart Origin surpassed you.” Bai Yuan Divine Monarch chuckled.

Although the heavenly gods have long lifespans, it doesn’t mean they are uninterested in fame… On the contrary, many heavenly gods, after all their friends and family have passed away and they themselves have arduously stepped into the God King Realm, have few pursuits left to chase.

Heavenly God List ranking is one such pursuit.

“Brother Heart Origin is strong, able to overpower Huo Yu in direct confrontation, perhaps not much difference between him and me.” An Dao Divine Monarch shook his head: “Coupled with his reverse material defense, surpassing my rank is quite normal.”

“Actually, in my view, Heart Origin fully deserves the third rank.” An Dao Divine Monarch smiled: “Why does the Starry Sky Divine Court rank Fu Hai and Huo Wu above Brother Heart Origin?”

“Right!”

“Brother Heart Origin should be ranked third.”

“Fifth? Too low!” Many Divine Monarchs agreed with a smile.

Strength determines status, Li Yuan’s strength was already strong before, and with a short cultivation time, his status was already not inferior to Ming Fang Divine Monarch… Now, Li Yuan has repeatedly proven himself with battle achievements to everyone.

It can be said that in the subconscious of all Divine Monarchs in the Chaos Divine Court, Li Yuan’s strength might still be inferior to Ming Fang Divine Monarch… but his potential is undoubtedly far greater, with a 99% probability of ascending to God King in the future.

“But Bai Yuan.” An Dao Divine Monarch’s tone suddenly shifted, teasing: “Others laughing at me is one thing, but you, how dare you laugh at me? My rank only dropped one place, but you have dropped two.”

Bai Yuan Divine Monarch glared: “You cheeky An Dao!”

All the Divine Monarchs couldn’t help but laugh.

“Tai Yan?” Li Yuan also couldn’t help but look towards the Heavenly God List.

If Li Yuan is the fastest rising and most renowned Divine Monarch of the Heart Dream Universe on Beichen Star… then Tai Yan Divine Monarch is second only to Li Yuan.

Before entering Beichen Star, he was ranked 62nd on the Heavenly God List, but after several battles, he showed astonishing combat power, especially in his fight with Fu Hai Divine Monarch… The two battled fiercely in a treasure space for a long time before he voluntarily retreated.

That battle also catapulted Tai Yan Divine Monarch to seventh on the Heavenly God List.

“My friends.” Li Yuan suddenly spoke loudly: “I have just found the Transmission Array, numbered 612.”

“Oh? Heart Origin has managed to find the Transmission Array?”

“A double blessing indeed.”

“Good news! As far as I know, Brother Heart Origin should be the 16th in my Chaos Divine Court to find a Transmission Array.”

“Finding the Transmission Array means having a lifeline of escape.”

“Haha, there are probably very few who could force Heart Origin to use the Transmission Array to escape… Conversely, if we encounter danger, we have a chance to seek assistance from Heart Origin.” Many Divine Monarchs conversed.

Li Yuan also listened.

Each Divine Monarch, when exploring new areas, continuously reports the map information they discover.

After all, although Beichen Star’s topography is ever-changing, at least within this millennium of exploration, there won’t be major changes.

Also, the Divine Monarchs who find the Transmission Arrays report their positions… Having the specific Transmission Array number makes it easier to rescue each other.

Internally, they compete with each other.

Externally, they assist each other, which has always been the Chaos Divine Court’s principle… Li Yuan was not worried that the Divine Monarchs present would leak his whereabouts to other great powers.

The Divine Monarchs present could be considered the core of the Divine Court, worthy of trust.

“Now that I’ve found the Transmission Array, it’s time to use the Qing Yun Dao True Fruit.” Li Yuan thought to himself.

…

The Heavenly God List is always circulated from the Starry Sky Divine Court to the various major powers in the Divine Realm, and all forces receive it.

“Fifth place?”

“Heart Origin Divine Monarch is actually ranked fifth?”

“Fifth is not surprising, it’s just that his rise has been too rapid, in a mere few decades, from his initial 866th rank on the Heavenly God List, then to 20th, now directly leaping to 5th.”

“It seems, within some more years, Heart Origin Divine Monarch might have the chance to ascend to first.”

“In the entire twenty billion year history of the Divine Realm, there are very few heavenly gods who have risen in power so swiftly.” The powerful figures from various major forces in the Divine Realm marveled at the latest Heavenly God List ranking.

Nobody thought Li Yuan’s rank was overestimated.

This was verified through numerous battles, a prestige forged with the lives of many heavenly gods.

…

On a vast wilderness of Beichen Star.

“Transmission Array? No wonder it was so hard to find.” Li Yuan gazed down at the colossal Transmission Array spanning over a million kilometers: “A little further apart, and it was space distortion, making it hard to sense.”

“Luckily, I cultivated the ‘Eye of Heavenly Mysterious,’ making my spatial sense very sharp.” Li Yuan mused to himself.

“Number 612, I finally understand my position.” Li Yuan pondered.

In the months since descending on Beichen Star, except encountering other powerhouses in treasure spaces, Li Yuan hadn’t met any other heavenly gods, and couldn’t use causality sensing… thus he remained unclear about his specific location.

Now, through the Transmission Array number, he finally roughly understood.

Whosh~

Li Yuan flew down into the Transmission Array.

The area was extremely vast, the ground completely silver-colored, seemingly paved with special metal, while on the towering Divine Pillars around the Transmission Array were inscribed countless intricate spatial Dao Patterns.

“Seals everything, unmovable.” With a slight sense, Li Yuan understood that the might of this Transmission Array far exceeded his own.

Buzz~

“Holding the Heavenly God Order is equivalent to an ordinary member of Beichen Star; one can use the Transmission Array once a day.” A deep voice suddenly echoed in Li Yuan’s mind: “You can specify a Transmission Array number, opt for random teleportation… or even teleport outside Beichen Star.”

“But please note, once teleported outside the Beichen Star, the Heavenly God Order becomes invalid, and one can no longer enter Beichen Star…”

This deep voice was quite familiar to Li Yuan, exactly the same as the voice he heard during his previous two entries into the treasure space.

“So it seems.”

“After countless years, does this Beichen Star still operate according to some fixed rules?” Li Yuan pondered silently, “Could the owner of this voice be the hidden ruler behind Beichen Star?”

“We, these divine monarchs, are merely exploring the surface of Beichen Star, belonging to the outer realm of Beichen Residence… According to legend, the inner domain explored by the divine kings is the core, and perhaps the divine kings know more secrets.”

Li Yuan could only speculate.

The longer he stayed on Beichen Star, the more he sensed its uniqueness and extraordinariness.

…

After investigating the teleportation array for a while, Li Yuan left it and found a secluded valley millions of kilometers away.

The environment was tranquil, with flowing water murmuring.

“This is indeed a good place for secluded cultivation.” Li Yuan smiled slightly, flying down to land on a huge rock beside the stream.

With a wave of his hand.

A dozen or so array flags flew out, landing on the earth over a tens of thousands of kilometers radius. As the formation operated, the aura converged, quickly enveloping the entire area, making it even harder for the outside to detect this place.

“It’s a pity.”

“The earth veins of Beichen Star are introverted, and the space is solid. Even if the formation is set up, it’s hard to mobilize much power of heaven and earth.” Li Yuan mused, “It can only serve as an auxiliary for inquiry.”

If it were in the outside world, some powerful formations combined with the starry sky veins could have unlimited might, allowing the main formation master to exert strength far beyond their own.

However, having an extra layer of formation is always better than none.

“Separated by millions of kilometers, if other strong beings emerge from the teleportation array, they wouldn’t be able to detect me. If I encounter danger, I can also quickly escape into the teleportation array.” Li Yuan sat cross-legged, calming his mind.

Soon, he achieved complete inner tranquility.

“Qingyun Dao True Fruit.” Li Yuan flipped his palm, revealing the ten-meter-high blue fruit in front of him, the surface of which flowed with a strange light.

Twice he ventured into the treasure space.

The first time he seized the Qingyun Dao True Fruit.

The second time he suppressed the Heavenly Fire Divine Monarch and finally obtained a God King Inheritance, which was of little use to Li Yuan, so he temporarily stored it away.

“The teleportation array has been found, the retreat has been secured.”

“Moreover, I previously slew over a hundred native life overlords and kings; the ordinary treasures collected are already plentiful. Even if I continue to hunt down native life, the efficiency is very low.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Next, what truly has a major impact on me is the Five Realms Void Stone.”

But Li Yuan understood in his heart that although his ranking on the Heavenly God List seemed to have improved significantly, it still wasn’t quite enough to seize the Five Realms Void Stone.

After all, he not only had to compete with the strongest in the Heart Dream Universe but also other strong beings from the three great universes, among whom there were plenty with prowess not inferior to that of White Ape Divine Monarch.

“I must become stronger.”

“This Qingyun Dao True Fruit has an effect that lasts for a hundred years; if I practice in seclusion for another hundred years, my strength should improve significantly.” Li Yuan thought it through very clearly: “From now on, unless I sense the treasure space fluctuations or receive news of the Five Realms Void Stone, there’s no need to pay attention.”

A hundred years is very long for Li Yuan.

But for heavenly gods, it’s just a snap of the fingers… and only about one-tenth of the time spent on Beichen Star.

In Li Yuan’s calculations, a hundred years might not be enough for the Five Realms Void Stone to emerge.

Li Yuan, very decisively, with a thought, completely refined the Qingyun Dao True Fruit.

“Space.”

“The clarity of my perception of the space law has improved by about fifty percent?” Li Yuan revealed a slight smile.

Improving by fifty percent, the actual efficiency of cultivation increased even more… because it made breaking through key bottlenecks easier.

“The space of ‘illusion and reality’.” Li Yuan began yet another period of secluded cultivation, focusing on understanding the direction of illusion and reality.

Out of the five major directions of space, apart from the world direction, Li Yuan had achieved the most in the ‘illusion and reality direction’.

This is the cornerstone of the soul path.

Like many heavenly gods, being able to bestow life on inner heavenly locations or nurture souls means they have comprehended the ‘space of illusion and reality’.

“Illusion and reality represent the profound integration of matter and the void realm.” Li Yuan had an epiphany: “Once comprehended, my understanding of the spiritual void realm will reach a new level.”

“Then there’s hope to evolve into the spiritual true realm.”

Evolving the spiritual true realm and reaching the ‘Purple Mountain’ of the ancient universe was Li Yuan’s primary goal.

…When the origin body was wholeheartedly understanding the space law, at the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters…

In an independent space within the space divine ruins.

“Seven Shadows Harmonization Flower.” Li Yuan’s true self was also using another kind of treasure previously purchased.

A single Seven Shadows Harmonization Flower, valued at 10 trillion Heart Dream Coins.

It can aid in comprehending the seven fundamental laws.

“Once I master the ancient universe, there will be no major obstacles to entering the Heavenly God Realm.” Li Yuan silently contemplated: “But the premise is, I must first understand the Law of Earth.”

Li Yuan’s true self, fused with the source seed, had a higher efficiency in comprehending the seven fundamental laws compared to the origin body.

…

The origin body of Li Yuan was understanding the space law, while the true self was comprehending the Law of Earth… striving for maximum efficiency.

Day by day, the great battles on Beichen Star grew more intense, and occasionally, astounding news would spread.

But all of this had little impact on Li Yuan.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.

On Beichen Star, in the void about a billion kilometers from Li Yuan, a gray-robed figure appeared.

“Finally caught up.”

“Over the past year, through causality sensing, the position of Heart Origin Divine Monarch hasn’t changed much.” The gray-robed figure murmured to themselves: “Could it be a secluded cultivation?”

“However.”

“It doesn’t affect much anymore.” The gray-robed figure took a step forward at an extremely fast speed, “Wasting so much of my time, one should perish.”

“White Ape.”

With some emotion and sighing.
