Chapter 274: The Oldest Demigod
Chapter 274: The Oldest Demigod
"Law Will? Is it difficult to achieve this?" A deep voice echoed amidst the raging wind and waves.
The middle-aged man in plain robes had nothing to say.
But then, thinking of the other's terrifying battle records, he understood.
It was indeed difficult for other Demigods to reach this step, and in a certain sense, it was almost impossible.
But this was Dong Fang Ji, and with him, anything was possible.
"With your personality, revealing one part and hiding three, now that you dare to openly gather the Law Will before me, I can no longer fathom your true strength." The middle-aged man in plain robes shook his head slightly, "If one day you suddenly appear before me, having already condensed the Divine Form, I wouldn't be surprised."
"Ascension holds no meaning for me," the deep voice said indifferently.
"That's true," the middle-aged man in plain robes nodded lightly, "With your exceptional talent, your ultimate goal is undoubtedly to conquer the Ninth Mountain World. Among the numerous Demigods I know from various civilizations, if anyone has a chance, it's probably only you."
"Speak, Dong Fang Ji, what is it that you've been looking for me these past few decades?" The middle-aged man in plain robes asked calmly.
"Help me mentor a junior," the deep voice replied, "an Origin Martial Artist."
"An Origin Martial Artist?" The middle-aged man in plain robes was taken aback for a moment before nodding, "No problem. How far has he progressed in understanding the Wind Lineage? Has he condensed the Essence Intent Core?"
"No!"
"He hasn't truly entered the path yet," the deep voice said lightly.
The middle-aged man in plain robes was taken aback.
Soon, the deep voice had already given a general overview of Li Yuan's situation to the middle-aged man in plain robes.
"19 years old, and he's already formed the Essence Intent Core?" The middle-aged man in plain robes' eyes revealed a hint of surprise, "This young man has extremely high talent in the Earth Lineage. With your help, perhaps in a few decades, your Seven Star Civilization will give birth to another powerful Demigod... Why do you want him to understand the Wind Lineage?"
"He has talent in this aspect," the deep voice said slowly, "And there's still enough time, so naturally, he should give it a try."
The middle-aged man in plain robes shook his head. He couldn't understand the other's intentions.
Suddenly, "Earth and Wind," a thought flashed through the middle-aged man in plain robes' mind, as if realizing something, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want him to take that path?"
"What path?" The deep voice remained calm.
"You're pretending not to know, but I've also stepped into that realm," the middle-aged man in plain robes shook his head, "Your ambition is too great. You yourself... Now you even want to guide this junior? If he takes the wrong step, his future might be ruined."
"With success comes failure, and with hope comes destruction," the deep voice said calmly.
The middle-aged man in plain robes also didn't say more.
"I owe you a debt of gratitude, and I've managed to survive this long. Mentoring him is fine," the middle-aged man in plain robes said softly, "But I only promise to mentor him for half a year. If his talent in the Wind Lineage is too poor... it's not worth my time."
"If his talent is indeed lacking, I'll do my best to mentor him," the man in plain robes said.
"Good."
"I still trust in Lie Feng's character," the deep voice said, "Should I go see him, or should I have him come see you?"
"I'll go see him," the middle-aged man in plain robes said.
"Okay."
~
The flying vehicle that had been hovering over this area of the sea disappeared, leaving only the middle-aged man in plain robes sitting alone.
"Law Will?"
"Becoming a Demigod in just over a hundred years, and already reaching this step," the middle-aged man in plain robes sighed, recalling their first meeting long ago.
Back then, their strengths were almost equal, or perhaps the middle-aged man in plain robes was even stronger.
But now, their realms were vastly different.
"I hope his talent isn't too weak, so I can mentor him and give Dong Fang Ji an answer."
"If his talent is too weak, I'll just go through the motions for half a year," the middle-aged man in plain robes didn't care about Li Yuan.
People's talents are often limited, and in his eyes, Li Yuan's talent in the Earth Lineage was already extremely high. His talent in the Wind Lineage? It was destined to not be high.
If it were any other Wind-attributed Demigod, out of friendship and investment in the future, perhaps someone would come to mentor him.
But the middle-aged man in plain robes didn't care about these things, because he was already close to death.
A dying man, with no attachments, why would he care about such things?
God Warrior Realm
The Seven Star Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist.
In the middle of the mountain, on the slope of one of the seven peaks, an empty square in front of a villa mansion had a flying vehicle hovering.
Li Yuan, dressed in black, sat quietly at the front of the square, with the vast void not far away.
Li Yuan gazed down at the vast earth below, his powerful mental strength allowing him to sense the presence of owners in the various palaces on the mountain peaks.
The Seven Star Mountain was divided into seven peaks.
This division wasn't based on the seven major planets... but rather on the seven attributes.
Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Wind, Lightning... This was the most common and primary division of the seven major Origin Powers in the world.
This arrangement was mainly for the convenience of communication between members of the same lineage in the Seven Star Mountain, and also facilitated the understanding of the same attribute.
During his time in the Seven Star Mountain, Li Yuan quickly discovered that very few members on the seven peaks were understanding the Wind and Lightning lineages.
They were in the single digits.
"The rumors were true, most of the strong members of the Seven Star Civilization were understanding the Five Elements.
"The Seven Star Civilization has created seven high-level cultivation methods so far, two for Earth Origin Power, two for Water Origin Power, and one each for Fire, Metal, and Wood Origin Power," Li Yuan thought to himself, "There are no cultivation methods for the Wind and Lightning Origin Powers."
In other words.
Within the Seven Star Civilization, those belonging to the Wind and Lightning Lineages were almost all those who became Skysoarers and Demigods through their own created cultivation methods.
Li Yuan believed that many people's talents were buried because of this.
Of course, there were also a very small number of powerful warriors who, although initially cultivated the Five Elements Origin Powers, gradually felt that they were more suited to understanding the mysteries of Wind and Lightning, and so changed their cultivation direction.
Chapter: The Power of the Strong
Only a few possess such strength, as most martial artists still attempt to comprehend the mysteries of True Intent according to their Origin Power attributes.
After all, the Origin Power they cultivate is of a specific lineage, and their affinity with that lineage is often higher.
"Following the wishes of Endu Mountain Lord," Li Yuan thought.
"In our entire civilization, there are only two or three Wind lineage Demigods." Li Yuan's mind raced, "They may not be willing to guide me... I'll leave it to fate."
"I once resonated with the divine consciousness, and following the guidance of the Stellar Gun Technique, I can cultivate the Wind lineage as well."
"I'll give it a try for a while."
"If I still don't have much of a clue, then I'll put it aside for now." Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry.
Since ancient times, the inheritance hall of the Torch God has been a place where one's cultivation pursues the freedom of following one's heart's desires.
The vast and profound nature of the earth, its ability to embrace all things, brought Li Yuan joy.
The unpredictable and lively nature of the wind also delighted him.
"What brings me joy, what makes my Gun Technique more powerful, is the path I should follow." Li Yuan's heart followed this principle.
Just like these days, he wasn't willing to stay in the martial arts room for long, instead preferring to venture into the outside world.
Sitting at the edge of the plaza, he welcomed the howling wind.
Often, he would sit there for half a day.
"No wonder Dean Hai likes fishing." Li Yuan smiled, recalling a conversation he once had with Dean Hai.
Dean Hai had once said that fishing was a form of cultivation, and when Li Yuan reached that level, he would naturally understand and comprehend.
At that time, Li Yuan didn't understand.
But now? Li Yuan finally understood.
"All the mysteries of the heavens and earth are hidden in life, hidden in the world." Li Yuan thought, "Grasping the mysteries of the heavens and earth from the natural flow... far surpasses pondering in a confined room."
Ordinary martial artists bury themselves in hard work because their realm is still at the level of 'skill'.
But once they step into the Fifth Stage, their mind and body, from the inside out, become almost as one with the way of skill.
The Essence Intent Core is the threshold of entering the way.
Suddenly—
"Hmm? Group message?" Li Yuan felt the vibrations of his smart ring and couldn't help but look down at it.
It was a message from the Seven Stars Mountain's 'V Group'.
"Skyborne Mission: Mingxu Star Realm Campaign, the details are..."
Li Yuan quickly scanned the message. It was a war mission in the Mingxu Star Realm, where the Seven Stars Civilization was in a full-scale war with the Tianliang Civilization. They needed Skyborne-level combat power for support, divided into defense and attack missions.
Requirements: Seven Stars Mountain members can accept the defense mission, but only the top 30 members of Seven Stars Mountain can accept the attack mission.
"Top 30? Does this mean that only those who have comprehended True Intent are qualified to accept it?" Li Yuan wondered.
There were only around 30 top geniuses in the entire Seven Stars Mountain who had condensed True Intent.
Subconsciously, Li Yuan scanned his own ranking on Seven Stars Mountain: 118th.
Second to last.
Only one rank higher than Bei Te Man.
The Seven Stars Mountain rankings were based on a comprehensive sorting of true strength and mission completion points.
"Hmm?"
Li Yuan's eyes flickered as he noticed a private message from Yu Jing He. He thought, "Big Brother Yu is accepting this attack mission? Is he returning to Xia Guo?"
"Be careful." Li Yuan replied.
Li Yuan had a guess in his mind.
The war in the Mingxu Star Realm was mainly driven by the Bluesphere side, specifically Xia Guo.
Currently, the Seven Stars Civilization was releasing war missions, asking for the top geniuses of the civilization to help.
Most likely, they had encountered a major challenge.
For many war missions, unless they involved the inheritance of divine beings like in the Liuyi Star Realm... the Alliance's top leaders wouldn't force their top geniuses to participate.
For such life-and-death missions, the geniuses were usually allowed to make their own choices.
But Yu Jing He's quick decision to go might be due to a request from Xia Guo... just like how Yu Jing He's presence was seen in the numerous wars of Luobu Sea.
"Xia Guo has many talented individuals in the God Warrior Realm." Li Yuan thought, "But those who have comprehended True Intent are even fewer."
One of them was Yu Jing He!
Another was named 'Luo Chan', whom Li Yuan had never met.
"Once I comprehend True Intent, and if I have the opportunity, I can also go after reaching the limit of the Xia Guo lineage." Li Yuan thought.
Then, Li Yuan didn't think further.
At this moment, he wasn't yet qualified to participate in such a large-scale war.
Getting involved too hastily could easily lead to death.
...
Time passed.
As night gradually fell, Li Yuan was still in the plaza, feeling the wind and silently sensing the wind's fluctuations in the world.
Suddenly, a figure in white silently approached, and when they were about to reach a hundred meters, Li Yuan instantly sensed something and opened his eyes.
An invisible pressure enveloped the world.
"Mountain Lord." Li Yuan greeted with a bow, and the visitor was indeed Endu Mountain Lord.
Huff! Endu Mountain Lord had already approached, a smile on his face, "Your perception is sharp, and your mental strength is likely close to the peak of the Skyborne level."
"Still a long way to go, far from reaching your level, Mountain Lord." Li Yuan was very respectful.
These days, Li Yuan had also learned about Endu Mountain Lord's strength, which might not surpass Dean Fang Hai but was among the top in the entire Seven Stars Civilization, second only to Demigods.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been assigned to guard the God Warrior Realm.
"No need for modesty." Endu Mountain Lord smiled, "I'm here to inform you that your Wind lineage Demigod teacher has arrived and is waiting for you outside the God Warrior Realm."
"Oh?" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Which Demigod? Snow Dragon Demigod? Or Wind Fox Demigod?"
These were the two Wind lineage Demigods Li Yuan knew of.
"Neither."
"It's an alien Demigod, to be precise, a 'Guest Demigod' of our Seven Stars Civilization." Endu Mountain Lord shook his head, "And one of the oldest Demigods living within our civilization, nearing the end of his lifespan."
