Chapter 279: The Teacher's Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai
Chapter 279: The Teacher's Gift! Farewell, Dean Hai
"You should know that, as a foreign entity to your civilization, it's only natural for you to have some reservations about me," Gale Demigod said calmly. "I shouldn't be fully trusted by you."
"I've never thought that way," Li Yuan quickly replied.
At first, Li Yuan had indeed been wary of Gale Demigod.
But after spending day and night together for nearly a year, Li Yuan had developed a genuine respect and admiration for Gale Demigod.
Perhaps compared to his other 'cheap' teacher, the Divine Torch, Gale Demigod was much weaker in strength and had less to offer, but their bond was undeniably deeper.
Emotions, after all, take time to cultivate.
"Let me finish," Gale Demigod smiled, gesturing for Li Yuan to be quiet, who then settled down.
"It's normal to be distrustful," Gale Demigod smiled. "Initially, I came to teach you at Dong Fang Ji's request... I owe him a great favor."
"I come from another side, and we met in the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain," Gale Demigod explained. "At that time, he had just become a Demigod not long ago, and after adventuring together for several years, we formed a deep friendship and then returned to our respective civilizations."
"Teacher, what is this Immortal Burial Ancient Domain?" Li Yuan asked curiously, unable to contain his curiosity.
"You haven't heard of it?"
"With your talent and strength, you'll naturally learn about it when you reach the Flying Heaven Rank. Dong Fang Ji knows more about it than I do," Gale Demigod said with a faint smile. "After parting ways with Dong Fang Ji several decades ago, around eighty years ago... my homeland civilization was invaded by the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization."
"The Ten Thousand Demon Civilization?" Li Yuan gasped.
This civilization was the greatest enemy of the Seven Stars Civilization, having attempted invasions multiple times but always being repelled.
"Your Seven Stars Civilization is strong enough to withstand the repeated invasions of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization," Gale Demigod said slowly, a hint of sorrow in his voice. "But our civilization wasn't strong enough... It was completely destroyed, dozens of Demigods were slaughtered, and the remaining clansmen were mostly killed, with the survivors reduced to servitude."
Li Yuan's heart trembled.
Although he had heard some things about Gale Demigod, hearing it from his own mouth gave him a different perspective.
The Flying Star had also faced a similar calamity, resulting in the deaths of billions.
"I would have undoubtedly perished... if not for Dong Fang Ji saving me," Gale Demigod explained. "Since then, I've stayed in the Flying Star, serving as a Guest Demigod, but in these decades, I haven't been asked to do much."
"Teaching you is the first thing Dong Fang Ji requested of me, so I'll do my best," Gale Demigod said, turning to Li Yuan. "Of course, you are exceptionally talented."
Li Yuan finally understood the reason.
"I still have many things to do, so I don't have many treasures to give you," Gale Demigod said softly, waving his hand.
A rustling sound filled the air as nine mysterious green crystals, each the size of a fist, floated before Li Yuan, emitting strange radiance.
"What are these?" Li Yuan asked, breathless.
"These are Heritage Stones, containing vast amounts of information. I've prepared a total of nine of them," Gale Demigod explained. "One of them holds my lifelong insights and experiences in cultivation, which you can reference and learn from, but remember, cultivation is a personal journey, and others' experiences can only serve as a guide."
"I understand," Li Yuan nodded.
"The other eight stones contain a Star Art each, either one that I cultivated or collected," Gale Demigod continued. "Among them, the three most crucial Star Arts are the Sevenfold Star Art: Nine Shadow Clone, the Fivefold Star Art: Shadow Transformation Clone, and the Fivefold Star Art: Wind Feather."
Li Yuan listened attentively.
"Since your core is the Earth lineage, you won't have many Star Arts to cultivate in the Wind lineage," Gale Demigod said. "Based on my observations of your combat style, I suggest that you focus on two types of Star Arts in the Wind lineage."
"One type is the Shadow Clone, which, when cultivated to a certain level, will enhance the combat power of the illusions you manifest in battle and make it easier to cast illusions..." Gale Demigod continued. "The other type is the Escape Art."
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher," Li Yuan said respectfully.
This aligned perfectly with his own thoughts.
Whether it was for adventuring or combat, learning the Escape Art was essential.
The Divine Torch had also left behind the powerful Sevenfold Star Art: Transformation Light, an excellent Escape Art.
"As for the other treasures..."
"I once traded with Dong Fang Ji... The remaining Seven Stars Points in the Sevenfold Star Treasury are now transferred to you," Gale Demigod smiled. "It's not much, just around twenty-seven thousand Seven Stars Points."
Li Yuan was taken aback.
Was this not much?
Twenty-seven thousand Seven Stars Points! It was enough to drive countless Sky Rank Martial Artists crazy.
But when Li Yuan thought about Gale Demigod's strength, he understood.
This was a Demigod at the peak of his power.
However, a thought crossed Li Yuan's mind. Was he giving away all of it? Wasn't he keeping anything for himself? What was he planning?
"I can only help you this much, Li Yuan. It's time to return to the Seven Stars Mountain," Gale Demigod said slowly. "Strength is forged through countless battles."
"According to my observations, you are very close to awakening the Six Stars Pulse, and with your talent, you have a chance to reach the Seven Stars Pulse. In any case, strive to reach the Origin Martial Artist's limit before breaking through... Be extremely cautious in your future adventures," Gale Demigod added.
"I understand," Li Yuan said, bowing respectfully. "In the future, if I wish to see you again, where should I look for you?"
"We'll meet again when the time is right."
...
Li Yuan watched as Gale Demigod disappeared into the raging winds above the sea.
Gale Demigod sighed inwardly.
He knew that this might be their last meeting.
Soon after.
A powerful, invisible wave enveloped the heavens and earth, carrying with it a formidable will.
Gale Demigod's eyebrows furrowed.
He had arrived.
Gale Demigod was well aware that this wasn't the entity's true form but a projection of its consciousness, appearing from tens of thousands of miles away.
"You're determined to return to the Immortal Burial Ancient Domain?" Gale Demigod asked. "It's not yet time, and even I can't guarantee survival if we venture too deep."
"I'm nearing the end of my lifespan, and waiting any longer will surely lead to my demise," Gale Demigod said frankly. "By venturing there, I have a glimmer of hope for survival.
"Very well, if your mind is set, I won't try to dissuade you." A majestic voice spoke.
"The remaining Seven Stars points I have, you can transfer them to Li Yuan." Gale Demigod laughed, "I took him as my disciple out of joy... but I couldn't give him too much, nor could I fulfill the duties of a master, so I'll make up for it."
"What you've done is more than enough." The majestic voice replied, "The debt of gratitude for guiding one into the path is greater than the heavens... The path of the strong is one's own battle, giving too much might hinder their motivation and do more harm than good."
Clearly, the two had differing views on how to nurture their disciples.
"Let's not argue about this." Gale Demigod shook his head, "I'll come find you in three days."
"Alright."
"As friends, I'll see you off, but I can only wish you good luck." The majestic voice responded.
...
Huff!
Li Yuan was enveloped in a layer of earthy yellow light.
He transformed into a streak of light, traveling through the heavens and earth.
While on the island, the sky was overcast with dark clouds, but as he ascended into the sky, it was filled with radiant rays.
Huff!
Li Yuan descended rapidly, passing through the open-air checkpoints... His identity had already been automatically verified, allowing him smooth passage.
He arrived at the very bottom of the war base.
He gently landed outside the star realm passage, where vehicles were docked, but there weren't many people coming and going.
However, Li Yuan noticed many eyes on him.
"Flying, he's a Flying Heaven Warrior."
"But it doesn't feel like it, the life force pressure doesn't seem as overwhelming."
"Could he be a top genius from Seven Stars Mountain?" Many officers and warriors whispered from a distance.
Although their strength was ordinary, they were stationed at the entrance of the God Warrior Realm, and were used to seeing powerful warriors coming and going.
It was Li Yuan's unusual presence that sparked the discussion.
Suddenly.
"Li Yuan?" A slightly surprised voice came from the entrance of a distant room.
Li Yuan immediately turned to look, his eyes filled with surprise, "Dean He?"
"I remember him, I saw him at last year's virtual battle."
"Just now, did Li Yuan fly here? Is he already a Flying Heaven Warrior?" These young people whispered, their faces filled with awe.
With Li Yuan's powerful insight, he could easily hear their conversations.
Huff!
Dean He's figure moved, approaching Li Yuan, examining him up and down, and couldn't help but say, "Did you just fly here from outside?"
"Dean, you should be able to sense that I'm not yet a Flying Heaven Warrior." Li Yuan smiled, "I was just lucky to condense the True Intention of Earth."
By condensing his True Intention, he wouldn't reveal it, but since Dean He had seen it, there was no need to hide it, as it would be exposed soon anyway.
"Condense the True Intention?" Dean He's eyes flashed with surprise, "You're not even 20 yet?"
Li Yuan nodded, he was two months shy of 20.
"A True Intention Origin Warrior before 20?" Dean He was even more shocked.
He naturally understood what this meant.
Li Yuan smiled, knowing what Dean He was thinking.
If he knew that Li Yuan had condensed his True Intention before 19, he would probably be dumbfounded.
"Dean, you should be able to sense that I'm not yet a True Intention Origin Warrior." Li Yuan smiled, knowing what Dean He was thinking.
"This is the only thing."
"And to do reception." Dean He continued, "After the defense mission is released, try to bring back a few more Seven Stars members."
