Chapter 265: Endwood Clan Leader! The Divine Warrior's Heritage

Chapter 265: Endwood Clan Leader! The Divine Warrior's Heritage



Rumble~ Along with the slight tremors of the aircraft, the cabin door opened directly.

"We've arrived, come on out," Fang Hai's voice echoed in Li Yuan, Alicia, and the others' minds.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Twelve geniuses, led by Li Yuan, emerged one after another and leaped onto the ground.

"It's huge!"

"The legendary Seven Stars Mountain, a floating divine mountain."

"And the Divine Warrior Temple, one of the highest temples of our Seven Stars Civilization." Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in awe.

Before their arrival, most of them had searched for information about the Divine Warrior Temple and Seven Stars Mountain, but due to limited access, they could only find some basic descriptions.

Even images were inaccessible on the virtual network, indicating an extremely high level of secrecy.

It was all very mysterious.

Now, they finally laid eyes on the real Divine Warrior Temple.

"What is this?" Li Yuan was equally amazed by what he saw in the vision.

In the sky, a fiery red sun shone brightly, its rays illuminating the earth, but on their bodies, it felt warm and pleasant.

They were standing on a vast, spacious plain, with numerous large aircraft coming and going... allowing them to clearly see a continuous, undulating mountain range floating in the distance, several kilometers away.

A mountain range with seven peaks, suspended in the heavens, its surface shrouded in a hazy glow, exuding boundless might, making it the only one of its kind in the world.

Li Yuan and the others could see through their naked eyes that the mountain range seemed to be enveloped in clouds and mist, with numerous palaces and floating aircraft visible within.

"Seven Stars Mountain," Li Yuan breathed.

"Yes!"

"Li Yuan, my father mentioned to me that Seven Stars Mountain is the residence of the top geniuses of our Seven Stars Civilization, under the highest level of protection," Dantu Feng's eyes lit up. "Only those who can reside in Seven Stars Mountain can be considered the top geniuses of the civilization."

Tian Dazhuang, Jin Huguo, Hamon, and Yin Man listened attentively.

Among this group, except for Li Yuan, no one could match Dantu Feng in terms of background, vision, and experience.

After all, he came from a Demigod clan.

"Reside in Seven Stars Mountain?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes.

According to his knowledge, Wugama Nong and Yu Jinghe were both members of Seven Stars Mountain.

"Divine Warrior Temple." Dantu Feng pointed to the distance, where a majestic, ancient palace stood hundreds of meters tall on the vast earth beneath the Seven Stars Mountain, exuding an ancient aura.

Even from a distance of over ten meters, the ancient palace's powerful aura made Li Yuan and Dantu Feng feel a sense of reverence.

Only by seeing it with their own eyes could they truly appreciate the vast and mysterious nature of Seven Stars Mountain and the Divine Palace to scan the distant, enormous signboard and the gathering point below it.

There were already dozens of people gathered there, their appearances slightly different, indicating they were from various planets of the Seven Stars Civilization.

"Seems like an alien race." Li Yuan's Divine Palace scanned them.

Not a single one indicated 'kill to obtain spirituality'.

Wherever he went, he made it a habit to scan any unfamiliar person with his Divine Palace.

"Most of them are Origin Martial Artists, and there are even a few top-tier ones, but I wonder about their technique levels," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Nearly a hundred geniuses from various planets had gathered, and their ages and true strengths were clearly different.

In the eyes of the higher-ups of the Seven Stars Civilization, anyone under 30 years old was considered 'young'.

"More people have arrived."

"Twelve, that's a lot."

"Only fewer than those from Flying Star and Heaven Sea Star, they must be from Blue Star."

"Definitely from Blue Star, didn't you see the one leading them? It's Li Yuan, and he's even more handsome than in the videos."

"Li Yuan?"

"Is that Li Yuan?"

As they arrived, the geniuses from Yinghuo Star, Feixing Star, and Tianhai Star all turned their attention to Li Yuan's team, whispering amongst themselves.

Clearly, Li Yuan had the greatest reputation.

"Tsk tsk, Li Yuan, you're quite the celebrity," Dantu Feng muttered, his eyes filled with envy. "You've stolen all the limelight."

"Dantu, if you can pass the seventh gate of the Seven Stars Battle, you'll become famous too," Tian Dazhuang joked.

"Get lost! Don't make fun of me," Dantu Feng glared at him.

The two were close friends, often teasing each other.

"Li Yuan's fame is indeed greater than ours," Jin Huguo laughed.

"It's normal, he's not on the same level as us," Nevsky explained. This tall and sturdy youth from the country of Ross was very nonchalant.

Among this group, the one who was truly unhappy was Bolais, who originally thought he would be the strongest in the team. If not celebrated, he should at least be valued... But in the end, no one paid him any attention.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Li Yuan.

Alicia's eyes met Li Yuan's, and she didn't hide her admiration.

"Wait."

"In the end, strength will speak for itself." Bolais thought to himself, "With my abilities, I have a good chance of passing the sixth mountain... My advantage lies in my long cultivation time."

"Next, I'll cultivate in the Divine Warrior Temple for another twenty years to solidify my foundation."

"In the future, I have a good chance of reaching the Skysoar pinnacle."

At the age of 28, Bolais was specially selected with his exceptional talent and strength.

The mist-shrouded Seven Stars Mountain.

After Fang Hai brought Li Yuan's team here, he moved with a thought, and the surrounding lights dimmed as he silently arrived at the mountain. His gaze was calm, and he was familiar with everything around him.

Decades ago, he had also cultivated here for many years.

On the mountain, numerous palace-like structures stood, each with a flying saucer-shaped spacecraft docked in front. These were the residences of the Seven Stars Mountain members.

Only the highest palace at the peak was off-limits to the members... It was the residence of the mountain's master.

Whoosh!

Fang Hai arrived at this grand palace, and six figures had already gathered in the small square before it.

"Fang Hai Star Master."

"The one from Blue Star, this time it's Fang Star Master escorting them." Each of the six figures exuded a powerful aura, all of them were Skysoar pinnacle warriors who dominated their respective regions.

Standing casually, they seamlessly blended into the environment, indicating their profound understanding of martial arts.

Yet, facing Fang Hai, they showed great reverence.

"Where's Endwood?" Fang Hai asked directly.

"Endwood Star Master hasn't come out yet," a white-robed Skysoar warrior replied respectfully, "We're still waiting for him."

"Stop putting on airs," Fang Hai shook his head, his deep voice resonating, "Endwood!"

"Endwood! Endwood! Endwood!" The voice carried an incredible penetrating power, reverberating within a few hundred meters.

But it didn't extend further.

This terrifying control shocked the six Skysoar pinnacle warriors nearby.

Indeed, among the numerous Star Masters, he was one of the top three superpowers.

After only a few seconds.

"Boom~" The sealed palace door burst open, and a white-robed figure flashed by, his face appearing to be around thirty years old, and his white robe exuded a carefree air.

He stood before Fang Hai, the white-robed youth's expression carried a hint of helplessness, "Old Fang, can you keep it down? You're disturbing my sleep."

"You're the one who's supposed to be busy as the Star Master, yet you're so relaxed. Now you're making us all sleep," Fang Hai said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

Their conversation was lighthearted, but the six Skysoar warriors' expressions became increasingly respectful.

Evidently, the white-robed youth and Fang Hai were of the same status and level.

"Alright."

"You all worked hard. I've confirmed the reception in the virtual network, so please return," the white-robed youth spoke solemnly, his gaze sweeping over the six warriors.

"Thank you, Star Sovereign Duan Mu." The six Skysoar Warriors transformed into streams of light and quickly retreated.

In a short time, only Fang Hai and the white-clad youth remained.

"Old Fang, why did you personally come for this escort mission? Are you that free?" The white-clad youth smiled.

"I'm here under the orders of my master," Fang Hai replied with a smile.

"The Alliance Leader?" The white-clad youth was surprised and vaguely realized, "Li Yuan?"

He, Endwood Hong.

As one of the few Star Sovereigns of the Flying Level in the Alliance, and also the Mountain Lord of Seven Stars Mountain, responsible for leading the cultivation of talented individuals in the God Warrior Temple... he naturally understood the intelligence of all the newly arrived geniuses.

And among the hundreds of geniuses who arrived this year, the most dazzling and special one was Li Yuan.

"Yes." Fang Hai nodded slightly, "Some matters are classified, and I can't discuss them with you... Just know that he's extremely important, and you must protect him at all costs."

"Classified?" Endwood Hong was shocked.

With his high status in the Alliance, almost reaching the Demigod rank and being one of the most trusted... there were still classified matters, indicating their immense importance.

He realized that Li Yuan was probably very special and held a great secret.

"A Divine Son-ranked genius?" Endwood Hong couldn't help but ask.

In many civilizations, Divine Son-ranked geniuses were destined to become Demigods.

In the Seven Stars Civilization, the birth of Divine Son-ranked geniuses was extremely rare.

"No need to ask further, and don't try to uncover his secrets. This is my master's order, and you'll naturally learn about it in the future." Fang Hai smiled, "I'm just reminding you to protect him."

"Some matters will naturally be handled by someone else." Fang Hai said, "But don't be too attentive to Li Yuan, it won't be good for his growth."

"Understood." Endwood Hong became solemn, having grasped Fang Hai's intention.

"Okay, I'll take my leave now. We can chat again when I visit Blue Star next time." Fang Hai said and left gracefully.

Fang Hai now felt relieved.

Because this hot potato had finally been passed on, and he no longer had to bear the responsibility.

...

"What a big trouble, even the Alliance Leader takes it so seriously." Endwood Hong muttered to himself, "However, the God Warrior Realm is just an ultra-small Third Rank Star Realm... Demigods can't enter, and the probability of assassination by foreign races is extremely low."

The entire God Warrior Temple and Seven Stars Mountain were established within a completely sealed small Third Rank Star Realm.

Ensuring that Demigod assassins from foreign races couldn't penetrate.

The main entrance was guarded by Demigods, and the Star Realm had numerous defense measures. Even if Demigods entered, there were 36th-level Skysoar Warriors guarding the realm, making it as solid as gold.

All of this was to ensure the safe growth of the young generation of the entire civilization.

"As long as he can be safely protected and allowed to grow, it will be a great achievement." Endwood Hong smiled, "If he truly becomes a Demigod in the future, when he meets me, he'll also be considered half my disciple."

As the Mountain Lord of Seven Stars Mountain, the potential connections he could establish in the future would be terrifying if he served for decades.

...

Li Yuan, Si Feng, Alicia, and over a hundred geniuses from various planets waited patiently.

Occasionally, they could see the flying vehicles rising from the large villas on the ground, shrouded in clouds and mist... and those vehicles carried members of the God Warrior Temple.

Suddenly, a terrifying aura buzzed through, enveloping them from the mist. Even Li Yuan's heart trembled, let alone the others.

The weakest among them, Tian Dazhuang and Dantu Feng, turned pale for a moment.

At this moment, everyone clearly saw a white-clad youth appearing in mid-air in front of them, not knowing when he had arrived.

He stood on the void, his gaze sharp, and his intangible aura suppressed everyone.

A Skysoar Warrior! And definitely one with terrifying strength.

"Mountain Lord." Over ten Origin Martial Artists, staff members, all respectfully saluted.

Mountain Lord?

Li Yuan and Alicia instantly understood the other party's identity - the ruler of the God Warrior Realm.

He was also their direct superior for the upcoming cultivation period.

"First, I'm the current Mountain Lord of Seven Stars Mountain, Endwood Hong. You may address me as Mountain Lord or Endwood Mountain Lord." Endwood Hong's voice was ethereal yet clearly heard by everyone, "From now on, for the next ten years or even longer, you will all be part of the God Warrior Temple."

"So, listen carefully to what I'm about to say." Endwood Hong looked down at everyone.

Silence filled the air.

"First, the cultivation in the God Warrior Temple is divided into two parts: the God Warrior Heritage and Points Rewards." Endwood Hong said, "The God Warrior Heritage is determined by your heritage rank. Among you, for now, only Li Yuan, Chu Chen, and Batman are Second Rank Heritage holders."

"The rest of you are Third Rank Heritage holders."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Everyone couldn't help but look at the three of them, and most of their gazes were on Li Yuan.

Many didn't know who Chu Chen and Batman were, but everyone knew Li Yuan.

"Members of Seven Stars Mountain may also be Third Rank Heritage holders."

"But even the weakest among you may be Second Rank Heritage holders."

"The specific differences will be understood once you enter the 'Seven Stars Mountain Space' in the virtual network and browse through it yourselves." Endwood Hong said indifferently, "As for Points Rewards, or the Seven Stars Points, they are determined by your actual strength.

"All members of the God Warrior Temple are categorized into three ranks based on their strength: Seven Stars Mountain members, elite members, and ordinary members."

"Those who pass through the seven major gates will become Seven Stars Mountain members and receive an annual reward of 400 Seven Stars Points."

"Passing through five major gates grants elite membership, with an annual reward of 200 Seven Stars Points."

"The rest are considered ordinary members, receiving 100 Seven Stars Points each year."

"Of course, these are just the basic rewards. The League also assigns numerous war missions. If you participate and establish merits, you can earn additional points." Endu Muhong spoke softly, "For example, Li Yuan, Alicia, Si Feng, and others among you recently made significant contributions in the Fiery Plume Star Realm and received a substantial amount of Seven Stars Points."

Everyone's gaze once again shifted towards Li Yuan, Alicia, and their group.

"Detailed guidance for cultivation at Seven Stars Mountain can be found on the virtual network."

"In half a month, you will face your first Seven Stars Battle, which will determine the number of points you receive for the following year." Endu Muhong said calmly, "Prepare diligently."

"Finally..."

"I hope you understand that for the warriors in the realm, even a single Seven Stars Point is earned through risking their lives. But for you, it is given in abundance because the entire civilization has high hopes for you." Endu Muhong's voice lowered, "With your talent, becoming Skysoar Warriors is not the ultimate goal. The civilization expects you to reach the peak of Skysoar Warriors, and even aspire to become Demigods."

"Or even... Deities."

"With the watchful eyes of foreign civilizations, our civilization has never known peace. Only by giving birth to a Deity can our Seven Stars Civilization truly find stability."

After a brief explanation, Endu Muhong departed.

Immediately, more than ten Origin Martial Artist supervisors led numerous First Stage Martial Artists, guiding Li Yuan and his group towards the luxurious villas that had been prepared for them.

There were over a thousand members of the God Warrior Temple, but only a select few could reside on Seven Stars Mountain.

The elite and ordinary members lived in the villas on the ground.

All the villas were constructed surrounding the majestic God Warrior Temple, and from above, the dense buildings and streets resembled a massive Eight Trigrams diagram.

"Since we've just arrived at the God Warrior Temple, let's get acquainted first." Li Yuan smiled, "Once we settle in, we can gather again."

"Good."

"In half a month, we'll face the Seven Stars Battle. Even if we can't pass through five gates, we should at least get through one, right? Let's not embarrass ourselves." Jin Huguo, Si Feng, and the others laughed.

The group dispersed.

...

"Look, the entire villa complex. The ground level is the villa, not too big, mainly for daily rest." The accompanying Origin Martial Artist personally guided Li Yuan, "But outside the villa, there's a 500-meter-wide training ground."

"Beneath the villa is an ultra-large Martial Hall, 600 meters long and wide, and over 50 meters high." The Origin Martial Artist explained.

"Such a massive underground Martial Hall?" Li Yuan was a bit surprised.

It was indeed huge.

"It's not that big." The Origin Martial Artist supervisor smiled, "This was specially built by Skysoar Warriors. After all, for talented Origin Martial Artists like you, when researching true essence strikes and sparring with strong opponents, the power can be immense."

"If the Martial Hall isn't large enough or sturdy enough, it could be quickly destroyed."

Li Yuan nodded in agreement.

Indeed, back at Kunlun Martial Academy, when he and Li Yang sparred in the Martial Hall, they had to be cautious about unleashing their Star Arts and Origin Power... If they did, the Martial Hall might collapse.

"Additionally, your daily needs will be taken care of by high-level intelligent robots." The Origin Martial Artist smiled, "Usually, we auxiliary Martial Artists won't enter your villa."

"Oh?" Li Yuan was taken aback, "To prevent assassinations?"

"You never know who might be secretly influenced." The Origin Martial Artist laughed, "So, many tasks are handled by robots. Be cautious when inviting companions to your villa for gatherings... Your entire villa complex has an advanced defense system. If it detects an external threat, the intelligent system will instantly activate the defense mechanism, making it impenetrable to ordinary Skysoar Warriors."

Li Yuan nodded again.

The entire Seven Stars Civilization went to great lengths to protect these elite geniuses.

After learning about the various aspects of the God Warrior Temple, Li Yuan entered his own villa complex.

He glanced at the villa number—2044001.

"2044, number 1?" Li Yuan smiled and quickly bound his biological indicators, spiritual imprint, and the villa's intelligent defense system.

"Xiao Yu."

"Activate Seclusion Mode." Li Yuan spoke loudly and entered the villa.

"Yes, master."

The spacious living room.

"Divine Warrior Heritage." Li Yuan's eyes held a hint of anticipation, "Whether or not I become a Seven Stars Mountain member doesn't matter much to me right now. But this Divine Warrior Heritage, what is it?"

"Could it be, the Divine Heritage?" Li Yuan logged into the virtual network and began browsing the 'God Warrior Temple Member Handbook'.
