Chapter 436: Finally Becoming 9 Star Veins
Chapter 436: The Nine Star Veins
The Juexing Realm also has four seasons.
It's not too hot in early summer.
In the huge suspended city outside the ancient city, there are still about nine thousand flying-level trial-takers living.
call!
A silver-armored figure exuding a distinguished aura, after passing the inspection of the Star-Awakening Guards, quickly arrived outside a courtyard in the Hanging City, and soon a girl in purple flew out of the courtyard.
"Brother." The purple-clothed girl looked at the young man in silver armor who exuded nobility with great surprise.
"Xiao Xuan." Jiang Shan also smiled.
Today, he came out from the Divine Fire Temple specifically to see his sister.
"Brother, come over here." Jiang Xuan said with a smile, leading her brother to the pavilion nearby.
The brother and sister sat down.
"Brother, will it interfere with your practice if you visit me so often?" Jiang Xuan asked.
"Not often. I have only come to see you a few times in the past five years." Jiang Shan said with a smile, "Don't worry too much. I came here to tell you something good. My understanding of the laws has improved. I should be close to entering the eighth level. I have already become a True God's registered disciple. As long as I make progress in this ranking battle, I should be able to be ranked as an inner disciple."
"Really?" Jiang Xuan was immediately surprised.
She had been in the Juexing Realm for nearly five years, so she naturally knew how difficult it was to become a disciple of a true god.
Moreover, Jiang Xuan knew that his elder brother was very ambitious, and the teacher he worshipped was probably very extraordinary among the true gods.
"A powerful and supreme True God?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Jiang Shan nodded.
"Congratulations, big brother." Jiang Xuan's smile became even brighter.
A peak True God would have higher requirements for his disciples, so it is relatively easy to become his registered disciple.
But wanting an inner disciple or a personal disciple? Difficult! The requirements for a True God-level master to accept a disciple are extremely high.
Someone like Jiang Shan may seem inconspicuous among the nearly ten thousand demigod members of the Divine Fire Temple, but that was a very short period of time for his cultivation. If he were given another two or three hundred years, let alone becoming the Son of God... he would still have a certain hope of breaking into the top 100.
But even so, it may not be worthy of the attention of such beings.
"Brother, I heard that the qualifying battle is extremely difficult. Are you sure?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but ask, "How many places do we need to get to meet the requirements?"
"The top 3,000, maybe." Jiang Shan said carefully, "With my age and the level of my star veins, as long as I can get into the top 3,000... I'll have a great chance. I don't need to become a direct disciple of the teacher in this battle, I can just become an inner sect disciple."
"As long as you continue to make progress in the future, you can become a direct disciple again." Jiang Shan said.
He also longed to become a disciple of a famous teacher.
"Three thousand?" Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, not feeling relieved.
After all, those who were selected as reserve members of Juexing Ancient City were all talented elites, and most of them had practiced for decades or even hundreds of years more than their eldest brother.
"Let's not talk about me." Jiang Shan suddenly changed the subject: "Xiaoxuan, how is your training? We are holding a ranking competition, and you will have to re-evaluate after the five-year period. Are you confident?"
"I think I'm 30% sure." Jiang Xuan said hesitantly.
She had worked hard over the past four years, but the ancient city of Juexing had very strict requirements for the Feitian-level reserve members... Even if they were re-evaluated, it was estimated that no more than two hundred of their nine thousand trial participants would pass.
"That's enough. It's enough as long as you are certain." Jiang Shan smiled instead: "Even if it doesn't succeed, with these five years of accumulation, when the King of God becomes a demigod, and then practices for a few more decades, he can become a reserve member of the Ancient City again."
"Brother, you don't blame me?" Jiang Xuan also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why should I blame you? I know you are working hard. The flying level is just a stage, and it does not determine your own destiny." Jiang Shan smiled and said, "I myself failed the flying test back then... You have tried your best."
"Besides, there is still half a year left, and perhaps your strength can be further improved. If your understanding of the laws reaches the seventh intermediate level, you can definitely stay." Jiang Shan said.
Jiang Xuan couldn't help but nodded, and secretly made up her mind to work harder.
The brother and sister chatted for a while.
"Brother, have you seen Brother Xu?" Jiang Xuan suddenly asked, "How is he?"
"You couldn't help asking about him after all." Jiang Shan said with a smile: "Don't worry, he must be fine. As for his condition... I rarely see him."
Jiang Xuan was stunned.
Aren’t both of them in the Divine Fire Temple?
"He has come to see you once in these years, right?" Jiang Shan asked.
"Yes, two years ago." Jiang Xuan nodded.
“As far as I know, Xu Yuan is now the most respected genius in Juexing Ancient City. He is at the same level as Jing Kui, the first half-god son of God.” Jiang Shan said with emotion.
"I only recently learned that the king and two powerful True Gods have been teaching him personally, giving him guidance once a month... Therefore, he basically never comes to class. I hardly see him once a year."
"I have no idea about his specific strength." Jiang Shan shook his head and said, "But with his talent, his progress is probably beyond our imagination."
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized that she knew very little about Li Yuan.
"You don't have to think too much about it. It's rare for him to come visit you once in these years." Jiang Shan advised: "There is a long way to go. We are all in a stage of rapid growth. Focusing on our own cultivation is the first priority."
"I understand." Jiang Xuan nodded: "Only when you are strong can you rely on others."
……
In the ancient city of Juexing, inside Li Yuan’s mansion, inside a mysterious space.
This space is a 'trial space' specially opened up as the 'Holy Son's Residence'. It is over 100 kilometers long and wide, and over 50 kilometers high... enough for the most powerful demigods to practice all kinds of mysterious moves.
Li Yuan was sitting cross-legged in the void, with invisible waves surrounding him.
Not far away, a black-robed figure stood there, his aura restrained like that of an ordinary person, observing Li Yuan.
"Wow!"
A woman in green appeared out of nowhere. She was Li Yuan's other teacher, 'Piaoxia Zhenshen'.
The True God Piaoxia saw Li Yuan and the black-robed figure not far away at a glance.
"Deputy City Lord." True God Piaoxia bowed slightly.
"No need to be so polite, don't disturb Xu Yuan." True God Jiang Yuan nodded and said in a voice transmission.
"Okay." True God Piaoxia flew to the side of True God Jiang Yuan and asked in a voice transmission, "Deputy City Lord, what happened to Xu Yuan? Why are you still here?"
According to the teaching plan of the three of them.
At the beginning of the month, the True God Jiang Yuan gives guidance; in the middle of the month, the True God Piao Xia gives guidance; and at the end of the month, the True God Xing Huan gives guidance.
Because Li Yuan has been making rapid progress, the three true gods don't have to worry too much about him, and naturally they rarely meet.
"While I was giving him instructions, Xu Yuan suddenly realized something and started practicing right away." True God Jiang Yuan said softly, "It has been nearly ten days, and I have been guarding here the whole time."
The True God Piaoxia suddenly realized that the sudden enlightenment during cultivation was indeed a rare opportunity, and it was best not to be disturbed.
"The deputy city lord treats Xu Yuan very well indeed." True God Piaoxia couldn't help but smile.
"It's not easy to have a genius under my command, so I naturally have to pay attention to him." The True God Jiang Yuan said lightly.
True God Jiang Yuan knew that over the years, many people in Juexing Ancient City had speculated about the relationship between him and Xu Yuan.
After all, even the direct disciples are often no more than this.
"In the past few years, Xu Yuan has made great progress. Even his wind law has entered the seventh high level." True God Piaoxia said: "His earth law and space law have improved even faster. If he has another sudden enlightenment this time, his spear skills will probably undergo a transformation."
Because of the Mirror of Laws and his own talents, Li Yuan made the fastest progress in the mysteries of space, followed by the Law of Earth, and the slowest progress in the Law of Wind.
But even so, the Law of Wind has advanced from the seventh level five years ago to the seventh level not long ago... This shows how much progress Li Yuan has made in the law over the past four years.
Far more than the past ten years of practice.
"Xu Yuan has indeed made great progress, and his spatial mysteries have reached the level of 'seventh-stage perfection'." True God Jiang Yuan nodded: "But his most powerful thing is the combination of the three major laws... This is something that countless True Gods desire but cannot achieve."
“As far as the speed of progress in the laws is concerned, even Jing Kui is far inferior to him.” True God Jiang Yuan sighed.
In the estimation of True God Jiang Yuan, the reason why Li Yuan was so strong before was because he was cultivated in the Chaos Divine Court... The cultivation conditions in the Ancient City of Juexing were definitely not comparable to those in the Chaos Divine Court.
But it turns out.
Over the past four years, Li Yuan's progress has been astonishing. The three major laws have progressed in parallel. Even later on... the efficiency of combining the laws was far behind the efficiency of comprehending the laws.
The True God Jiang Yuan asked himself, looking at the hundreds of millions of years of history of the ancient city of Juexing, there are probably not many people whose efficiency in flying cultivation can be comparable to that of Li Yuan.
He didn't know.
Before entering the ancient city of Juexing, Li Yuan had only spent ten years comprehending the true meaning of the law, and at that time, Li Yuan's soul realm was far inferior to what it is now... and the cultivation environment was even worse.
The two true gods waited patiently.
Another half day passed.
suddenly.
"Hmm? There are changes." The True God Piaoxia's eyes suddenly lit up.
hum~
Li Yuan's aura changed slightly, and he seemed to have turned into a spear. Strands of spear light suddenly appeared around him, and the terrifying sharp aura spread.
The body is like a gun, the will is revealed!
"The will of laws? Finally reached this level." True God Jiang Yuan smiled.
At this moment, Li Yuan was like a divine weapon, as if his soul, will and body were all condensed into one, and his aura had soared to a terrifying level.
"The fifth move of the Boundary Cloud Spear - Divine Weapon Intention! Shake the sky!"
Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and leaped forward. His body became ten meters tall. A strong and domineering aura spread out. Then he put his five fingers together and his arm was like a gun.
"call!"
He thrust his arm forward, and his five fingers were like spear tips, piercing the sky directly.
"Hua La~" With the blessing of powerful source power, the void was slightly vibrating wherever his fingertips reached. People like True God Jiang Yuan and True God Piao Xia could sense it more clearly. A fine thread of space passed through the sky along Li Yuan's fingertips... Although Li Yuan's stab was still far from tearing the space crack, it had already left a trace on the space layer.
It represents power that has been concentrated to a terrifying level.
"Boom!" After performing this move, Li Yuan's breath was restrained and his body quickly returned to normal.
"Is this the feeling of the eighth level of law will? Absolute control, condensed power, almost unshakable." Li Yuan silently sensed: "In terms of law perception, my perception of the three avenues of earth, wind, and space is extremely high... Logically, I should have mastered the fifth style of the "Boundary Cloud Spear" long ago."
Normally.
When the three major laws are combined, the mystery of space reaches the seventh perfect level, and the two major laws of earth and wind reach the seventh intermediate level... then there is hope of realizing the fifth style of 'Divine Weapon Intention'.
But what about Li Yuan? Now, he has almost reached the seventh level of perfection in understanding the law of earth, and the law of wind has also entered the seventh level of high level. The reason why he has not been able to comprehend it is because of this.
First, Li Yuan has been focusing on comprehending the laws, and his efficiency in combining the three major laws is indeed slow.
The second is the condensation of will in the "will of law", which requires the perfect combination of soul, will and body, and then arouses the fluctuations of the origin of the law in the dark. Li Yuan has not been able to fully control it... Under normal circumstances, the source power must at least reach the peak of demigod, because the physical source power of a demigod at the peak can barely reach the bottom line.
Even though Li Yuan's astrology was amazing, when he used all his strength, his body's energy was still not as strong as that of a peak demigod.
Until recently.
Through practicing "Six Realms of Mind Illusion", Li Yuan's will reached the limit of virtual god, and only then did he gain some enlightenment and quickly break through.
"Understand the mystery of the will of the law."
"Next, as long as I integrate more insights into the laws of spearmanship, my spearmanship will continue to improve." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I can definitely continue to deduce the sixth move of the Jieyun Spear."
The fifth move of "Jieyun Spear" is 'Divine Weapon Intention', which is mysterious and equivalent to the middle stage of Virtual God.
The sixth move, 'Quick Sand Shadow', is comparable to the mysterious moves of many powerful virtual gods.
“If I can comprehend the sixth form and cultivate my source power to the limit of demigod, I will have a real hope of seizing the Ancestral Realm Order.” Li Yuan thought to himself.
……
It sounds slow, but in fact, in an instant after comprehending the fifth style of "Jieyun Spear", Li Yuan figured everything out and flew in front of the two true gods.
"Lord, Teacher Piaoxia." Li Yuan saluted respectfully.
"very nice."
"At the eighth stage, you must communicate with the will of the law to achieve a perfect combination of body, soul, and will." True God Jiang Yuan said with emotion: "I thought you would have to enter the semi-god realm to fully control this, but I didn't expect you to break through at the flying level."
"Give you some more time, and your spear skills will improve rapidly. By then, your strength will be close to the level of Virtual God."
"Flying level, can burst out combat power close to that of a virtual god, incredible." True God Jiang Yuan laughed.
Li Yuan listened.
Wouldn’t it be difficult to comprehend the laws and will at the flying level?
The key reason why I was able to break through so quickly is that my soul will is so strong now.
Especially his will, which is close to the level of a true god. "Xu Yuan, at your current level, haven't you broken through to become a demigod?" True God Piaoxia asked in confusion, "Your soul has been transformed into a virtual god for a while, your will is also very strong, and your comprehension of the law combination has also entered the eighth level... why haven't you broken through yet?"
"Once you break through and your body transforms, your soul and will will also improve, and your strength will only grow faster." said Piaoxia Zhenshen.
She was indeed confused.
"I would like to stay in Feitian level for a while longer." Li Yuan said with a smile, unwilling to explain further.
That's right.
In the eyes of the outside world, he should have entered the realm of demigod long ago, and there was no need to delay any further.
No matter what!
Li Yuan never achieved his goal.
"Piaoxia." True God Jiang Yuan said, "Let Xu Yuan choose his own cultivation. It's fine if he can just work on his foundation. He's not even forty years old yet, so there's no rush."
"Yes." True God Piaoxia nodded and said no more.
……
An hour later, True God Piaoxia finished his instructions and left.
Li Yuan was the only one left in the trial space.
"It has been four years and seven months since we entered Juexing Ancient City."
"It has been almost five years since I came to Juexing Continent." Li Yuan calmed down and thought silently: "I have indeed made great progress, and I am constantly making breakthroughs in all aspects."
"The will has reached level 59, almost the level of a true god."
"My soul, under the constant nourishment of the Lingyuan Jade Fruit and the continuous refinement of the visualization method, had already reached the virtual god level a year ago. However, due to the limitations of my body, it has completely stopped at level 50." Li Yuan said secretly.
After becoming a virtual god-level soul, the upper limit of spiritual awakening is improved.
At the same time, his comprehension of the laws increased greatly, which is why he was able to make such rapid progress... At the same time, he used a large amount of 'Juexing Shendan'.
To date, Li Yuan has used a staggering 862 Juexing Shendan pills.
Of the eight star veins, except for the five perfect star veins, the other three star veins have reached the ninth level of star veins after Li Yuan's own awakening...
Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but glance at the Divine Palace panel:
-
[Life level: Level 38.9 (Level )]
Mental strength: level 50
Willpower: Level 59
Spiritual awakening degree: 83.4% (current upper limit 85%)
星脉：星脉：8星脉（10重+10重+10重+10重+10重+9重+9重+9重）
[Skill level: Law of Earth (seventh stage high level), Law of Wind (seventh stage high level), Mystery of Space (seventh stage 97%), True Meaning of Fire (sixth stage high level), True Meaning of Water (sixth stage middle level), True Meaning of Wood (sixth stage elementary level), Mystery of Gold (fifth stage 99%), Mystery of Thunder (fifth stage 99%)]
……
"In the life star space, the number of ownerless life stars has exceeded 900,000... but the ninth star vein has not yet awakened." Li Yuan sighed.
Once upon a time, Li Yuan saw various legendary descriptions about the "Nine Star Veins" in various classics.
Listening to Gu You and Qiu Bingzun talking about how extremely difficult the 'Nine Star Veins' were, they were only talking about the 'Demi-God Nine Star Veins'... Li Yuan didn't quite understand it at the time.
By now, Li Yuan has completely understood.
“No wonder those ‘Second Order Eight Star Veins’ in the history of the Sky Serpents only awakened Nine Star Veins when they were Demigods, and failed to achieve the ultimate ‘Ten Star Veins’.” Li Yuan thought to himself: “It is so difficult to achieve Nine Star Veins in Flying Heaven… I am afraid it will be even more difficult to achieve Ten Star Veins in Demigods.”
You know, in Li Yuan's opinion, the effect of using more than 800 "Awakening Star Pills" and one "Spiritual Guidance" is probably almost the same, and it still cannot help him move from the Eight Star Veins to the Nine Star Veins.
In the past five years, Li Yuan has been trying hard to awaken the life star, but has failed to break the shackles.
Thought for a long time.
"After all, I haven't reached my limit yet. Even if I can't use the Awakening Pill anymore, I can still awaken some Life Stars every day." Li Yuan remained calm in his heart: "As long as I haven't reached the carrying limit of the Life Star Space, there is still hope."
I came here for the Nine Star Vein.
How can we give up easily if we don’t reach our goal?
Li Yuan's joy and anger were transformed in his heart, and he had already cultivated the "Six Realms of Heart Illusion" to the second level "Experience Five Aspirations".
He constantly experienced five kinds of emotional illusions, including joy, anger, thought, worry and fear. Although he was unable to control them perfectly, it enabled him to look at countless things more calmly.
Is it difficult to awaken the Nine Star Veins?
It is enough to do your best towards your goal. There is no need to get angry or worried when you don't achieve the results.
"perhaps."
"Once I can condense the true meaning of space and awaken more life stars, I will succeed." Li Yuan thought.
……
Day after day, Li Yuan continued to immerse himself in cultivation, and occasionally he would take on some trial tasks.
However, the 'Flying Level Trial Mission', even the most difficult 'First Class Mission', was not a challenge to him. It was just a diversion from the boring training life.
In the blink of an eye, more than two months passed.
this day.
"The practice of the Six Realms of Heart Illusion is over." Li Yuan opened his eyes. His consciousness had just awakened from the infinite illusion, and it was as if he had gone through thousands of years of success and failure: "It's time to try to awaken more life stars."
call!
After adjusting his mood, Li Yuan closed his eyes lightly, and his soul consciousness had once again descended into the Fate Star Space.
Compared to when he first arrived in Juexing Continent five years ago, Li Yuan's destiny star space has become brighter.
In the dark night sky in the past, there were already a large number of stars twinkling... Nearly a million ownerless life stars, plus the life stars of eight star veins, added a lot of bright colors to this darkness.
"Huh!" Li Yuan's consciousness was divided.
Just like thousands of times in the past, he once again tried to travel through the starry sky to find the 'unawakened life stars' hidden among the dead lives.
Shortly after.
"Buzz~" Another life star combined with a wisp of Li Yuan's consciousness, bursting with brilliant light.
At this moment, this life star seemed to be the last bit of force that caused the snow mountain to collapse.
"Boom!!" In the life star space, among the nearly one million chaotic life stars in the past, a very small part of them were like ripe melons falling off the vine. They seemed to be pulled by a strange force and began to connect with each other, and then they started to move completely.
Like the orbit of a celestial body.
Came alive instantly.
This small number of life stars, plus the one life star that Li Yuan recently awakened, is exactly 12960 life stars, no more and no less.
"Huh?" Li Yuan was stunned at first, and then endless joy surged in his heart.
Become!
The ninth star vein finally awakened completely in silence.
"Boom~" Along with the ninth star vein, Li Yuan's life star space was shaking faintly.
In the sea of source power, suddenly, another star vein appeared across the void, connecting to the "source pill" in the center, making the originally round and flawless source pill even more powerful and complete.
"Wow~"
The source pill began to transform, the source power became more and more pure, and quickly broke through to level 39.0.
The awakening of the ninth star vein allowed Li Yuan’s energy limit to reach level 39.9.
……
Huala La~ Layers of brilliant light suddenly bloomed from the surface of Li Yuan's body.
The nine star veins interweave like rays of light.
Eight of the star veins are extremely dazzling and almost identical, except for the last one which is relatively dim, but still clearly visible.
"Nine Star Veins!"
"Is this the limit of flying life?" Li Yuan sensed a fluctuation in the dark.
This seems like a congratulation from the vast universe, or a message, or just a feeling in one's heart.
In any case, this is a limit.
“Six-star veins, seven-star veins, eight-star veins, nine-star veins… The later you go, the harder it is to awaken. For a third-order life form, eight-star veins to nine-star veins is a natural barrier.” Li Yuan said silently: “No matter what, I, Li Yuan, have accomplished it.”
Be able to take this step.
Along the way, I have had the help of the Mind Palace. Without the Mind Palace, it would have been impossible to reach the Eight Star Veins at the second level.
There are also many opportunities.
With the help and guidance of predecessors such as Fang Hai, Dongfang Ji, Jiang Yuan, etc., without them... Li Yuan's soul will and understanding of the laws would not have been able to grow so fast.
And Li Yuan’s own efforts and persistence, he never thought of giving up, even when he was on the verge of death, he still firmly followed his own path.
Many factors.
"Talent, opportunity, and luck." Li Yuan knew this: "That's what made me who I am today."
Level 3 Nine Star Veins!!
Even in the vast divine realm, it can definitely be called a legend. Only some of the most peerless monsters in the endless years can compare with Li Yuan in terms of star veins.
The birth of every third-level nine-star vein is the result of many factors, both external and internal.
Like the Mind Palace, it is indeed amazing.
However, just like on the Juexing Continent, top geniuses from generation to generation can obtain a large number of Juexing Divine Pills. After the quantity accumulates, the effect can be close to "spiritual guidance"... In the vast and endless divine realm, there are some opportunities that are more incredible than Juexing Divine Pills, which are close to or even comparable to the Mind Palace.
suddenly.
Wow! An invisible wave was born from nothingness, ignoring the formation obstacles of the trial space and Li Yuan's own soul defense.
It was directly transmitted to the depths of Li Yuan's heart.
Relevant information has emerged in Li Yuan's mind: "Trialist, you have completed the second task 'Becoming the Flying Nine Star Veins', become a member of the Golden Clothes, and obtained the 'Return Order'."
"Once the return order is activated, you can go to the Eternal Palace."
"After going to the Eternal Palace, you can choose to give up other tasks and return to your home world, or you can choose to return to the Awakening Star Continent and continue to perform the first task, the third task... Only after completing all three tasks can you become a member of the Purple Clothes."
wow~
In Li Yuan’s spiritual world, next to the spiritual palace, an almost illusory golden token suddenly appeared.
This golden token does not contain any source of power. It is composed of spiritual power, but it contains a strange power inside.
"Return Order?" Li Yuan sensed the golden token and already knew the function of this token.
Once activated, one can reach the so-called 'Eternal Palace'.
"Golden Clothes member?"
"After using the return order, I can choose to return to my hometown civilization, or continue to carry out the other two tasks?" Many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind in an instant.
This mysterious Eternal Palace is indeed incredibly powerful.
It had awakened the Nine Star Veins, and even the top leaders of the Juexing Ancient City were probably unaware of it, but it knew it directly.
"Whether we should return to the Seven Star Civilization directly or not, we can decide after we reach the Eternal Palace. There is no need to rush."
"Besides, even if I want to use this Return Order, I can't use it in the Juexing Realm." Li Yuan said secretly.
This message did not specify how long it would take to reach the Palace of Eternity, but the ancient city of Juexing was a powerful city that possessed the power of the gods after all.
If I disappear suddenly, when I come back later, even with the protection of the True God Jiang Yuan, many things will be difficult to explain.
Deep down, Li Yuan hopes to take part in the battle for the ancestral realm.
"If the reserve members want to leave the Awakening Star Realm, they must become demigods." Li Yuan made a quick decision: "The message that the Eastern Alliance Leader left for me can only be opened after I become a demigod."
"Besides, the Nine Star Veins are complete."
"It is no longer possible to awaken more life stars in the life star space." Li Yuan had just tried it.
Since the formation of the Nine Star Veins, the carrying capacity of the Life Star Space seems to have reached its limit, and it is no longer possible to awaken another Life Star.
"That's it."
"There is no need to delay any longer. Break through to become a demigod as soon as possible."
