Chapter 293: God Warrior Heritage! Sevenfold Star Vein

Chapter 293: God Warrior Heritage! Sevenfold Star Vein



A consciousness descended.

"This Thousand Illusion Array Chart is truly profound," Li Yuan's consciousness descended upon the token, carefully sensing and comprehending.

This time, he was perceiving and understanding.

Compared to his recent encounter with Dong Fang Ji, he was now more meticulous, allowing Li Yuan to gain a deeper understanding.

"Countless fluctuations of wind, seemingly formless, yet all connected and of the same origin," Li Yuan's heart resonated with this realization.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan's consciousness soared through the maze-like array, surrounded by endless raging winds that brushed against his consciousness, revealing the mysteries of wind.

Countless raging winds howled, brushing against Li Yuan's consciousness and presenting the mysteries of wind before him.

"The Law of Wind offers numerous paths to follow," Li Yuan thought to himself, "Those adept at swiftness, when cultivated to a profound level, can almost merge with space, finding the most harmonious wind fluctuations, becoming the fastest in the world... Almost no one can catch up."

"Those skilled in stealth..."

"Those skilled in illusions, when cultivated to a profound level, can reflect in all directions, almost omnipresent." Li Yuan thought, "The path I've comprehended and followed is that of illusions."

Each Great Law encompasses all phenomena and holds infinite possibilities.

Most powerful cultivators tend to explore one direction, delving deep into their understanding before gradually attempting to comprehend other aspects... until one day, they fully grasp an entire Great Law.

"Cultivation on the Great Path is incredibly challenging."

"Crossing the threshold of the Law brings the hope of becoming a deity." Li Yuan shook his head slightly, "I haven't even truly condensed the True Intent of Wind... Understanding an entire Great Law? It's too far-fetched."

Calmness settled in.

Li Yuan focused solely on comprehending and pondering, integrating the divine memories from the first God Warrior heritage with his own experiences for mutual verification.

...After two full days.

"Thousand Illusions!"

"This Thousand Illusion Array Chart contains a thousand wind fluctuations," Li Yuan had initially deciphered the mysteries of the token, "These thousand mysterious fluctuations intertwine and connect, forming a vast battle array akin to a thousand illusions."

Upon this realization, Li Yuan's heart trembled with awe.

He immediately understood.

If he could thoroughly comprehend the Thousand Illusion Array, he might be able to form a thousand illusions with a single thought.

The mere thought of it left Li Yuan astonished.

These illusions were not mere virtual projections but actual manifestations of wind fluctuations, reflecting in all directions, each with its own power.

The thought of an overwhelming attack was terrifying.

"According to Senior Dong Fang Ji, reaching this level in the Flying Heaven Realm would be considered a success?" Li Yuan thought, "That's right, I can only summon four illusions now, the gap is too vast."

Li Yuan remained undeterred.

A towering skyscraper rises from the ground, step by step.

"These mysteries of wind are so intricately intertwined."

"Oh! It can even be used this way..."

"I see." Li Yuan immersed himself, exerting all his effort in comprehension.

Constantly deducing and comprehending the mysteries of wind could be exhausting.

Hence, Li Yuan spent half his time comprehending the mysteries of earth fluctuations.

Simultaneously, he practiced his spear technique for two hours daily, striving to further integrate the True Intents of Earth and Wind.

His cultivation followed a strict routine.

As for Origin Power cultivation, Li Yuan's physical condition had already reached 29.9, the peak of his physical potential... Without attempting to condense Origin Pills within the Origin Sea, further improvement was nearly impossible.

Nevertheless, Li Yuan continued his daily cultivation of the 'Perception Technique', gradually elevating his spirit power towards level 37.

Every two to three days, he also persisted in awakening more Life Stars.

"The second star vein has awakened over 76,000 Life Stars." Li Yuan's heart was filled with anticipation, "I'm not far from awakening the sevenfold star vein."

Awakening 77,760 Life Stars in a single star vein qualifies one for cultivating the 'Earth Divine Body' technique.

This would significantly boost Li Yuan's strength.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was July 18th. Li Yuan leaped from the God Warrior Mountain, landing on the majestic Martial God Temple standing tall on the central plain.

In fact, Li Yuan had applied for the 'God Warrior Heritage' a few days prior, but with limited daily quotas and July being the peak season for temple members to receive heritages, he had no choice but to queue, finally getting his turn today.

The majestic and ancient temple.

As the temple doors opened, Li Yuan immediately spotted the divine pillar within, swiftly making his way to the temple's end.

"First-rank God Warrior inheritor, Li Yuan." A gentle voice resonated in Li Yuan's mind, "Don't resist, follow your senses, and try to execute your spear technique..."

Whoosh!

An invisible fluctuation swept by, reminiscent of the previous year. Li Yuan began demonstrating his spear technique, the spear's glow dazzling.

Simultaneously.

As the spear technique unleashed its might, a silent hum filled the air, and countless invisible earth currents emerged, accompanied by multiple Li Yuan's wielding spears in the palace.

It was an eerie sight.

Time passed.

"Skilled in spear techniques, combining the True Intents of Earth and Wind... High aptitude in domains and illusions." An icy voice resonated in Li Yuan's mind, "Expanding the scope of divine heritage."

"Heritage locked."

"Sensing the mark, unknown Fifth-Rank Deity, skilled in sword techniques, adept in Earth domains and Wind illusions, cultivating two Laws..."

"Heritage begins.

"Huh!"

A speck of light suddenly appeared in the air above the temple, descending directly onto Li Yuan's forehead.

"Boom!"

Li Yuan's consciousness was guided, and he immediately sank into a trance, becoming completely fascinated.

...

Two hours later, Li Yuan returned to his villa mansion.

The underground martial arts room.

"This is incredible."

"The mysteries of Earth and Wind, when combined, can create such a domain illusion. It's truly profound." Li Yuan's heart was filled with excitement.

Even though the heritage had ended, his heart was still overwhelmed with awe.

The second God Warrior Heritage was far more effective than the first...

Although the deity he resonated with this time did not specialize in gun techniques, for Li Yuan at this level, the weapon was not the primary focus. He mainly sensed the profound mysteries within.

Aside from the weapon mismatch, other aspects were much better compared to the first time.

"During the first God Warrior Heritage, I hadn't even comprehended the Earth Essence, let alone the mysteries of Wind. No matter how clear my perception was, it was still difficult to fathom." Li Yuan thought to himself, "But this time?"

The mind resonance and divine heritage did not directly improve the inheritor's skills.

One must have deep insights and many questions to maximize the effect.

Over the past year of cultivation, Li Yuan had made significant progress in both the Earth and Wind lineages.

Great progress often meant more questions.

Especially in the Wind lineage, ever since forming the essence embryo, Li Yuan had been striving to truly condense his essence and break through the six-stage threshold... but he couldn't succeed.

"My talent in the Wind lineage is not bad, but it's far from comparable to my Earth lineage." Li Yuan acknowledged this fact, "In the Earth lineage, it only took a few months to progress from the initial five-stage to condensing the essence, and that was without the aid of divine elixirs or powerful spirit power at the beginning."

"In normal circumstances, it's already considered very fast for Bateman to condense the essence after more than a year of forming the essence embryo." Li Yuan thought, "If it were a normal situation, I would need at least that long to have a chance at condensing the essence."

Skill cultivation often involves moments of enlightenment.

But these moments of insight require daily accumulation; only then can breakthroughs occur.

"And now..."

"I have the Thousand Illusion Array Chart."

"And with this God Warrior Heritage as guidance, both together..." Li Yuan was overjoyed, "My understanding of the mysteries of Wind will accelerate significantly."

Regarding his upcoming skill cultivation, Li Yuan became increasingly clear about his next steps.

"Seclusion!"

"For the next period, unless there's a major battle in the Ming Xu World or the Mountain Lord summons me, I won't see anyone." Li Yuan declared.

"Yes, master." The AI assistant replied respectfully.

Li Yuan began a new round of seclusion cultivation, attempting to condense the Wind essence in one go.

At the very least, he must maximize his cultivation efficiency while the God Warrior Heritage's effects were still fresh.

...

In the God Warrior Realm, a large group of Divine Warrior Temple geniuses had gathered in the only tavern.

"Damn! Li Yuan can't even spare a day?" Dantai Feng glanced at the reminder on his smart ring, "This year's new arrivals from Blue Star can't even take a day off?"

Many Divine Warrior Temple geniuses had accepted Dantai Feng's invitation, including Tian Dazhuang, Jin Heguo, Hameng, Yin Man, Nevsky, Yin He, and others... Perhaps when they first entered the God Warrior Realm, they were all strangers.

But as time passed...

These geniuses would form cliques, all from Blue Star and with the bond of being classmates, their relationships naturally grew closer.

"With Li Yuan, Lin Lan Yue, and Alicia not here, it's like everyone's a cultivation maniac." Dantai Feng felt a headache coming on, "Sigh, they're all so dedicated."

"Sounds like you're not putting in the effort?" Tian Dazhuang shot him a glance, "You were hard to reach these past few months too, right?"

"Don't always interrupt me." Dantai Feng glared at him.

Suddenly...

"Senior Yan Jing has arrived."

The group of geniuses stood up one after another, greeting Yan Jing who had just arrived.

Many of them had talents no less than Yan Jing's, such as Dantai Feng and Tian Dazhuang, who were both top-tier talents. Although young, their skills were already approaching the high-level five-stage.

But!

Talent alone, without the right cultivation, is still just talent...

A seven-star mountain peak-level genius, an Essence Origin Warrior, was enough to make anyone take notice.

"Please, take a seat." Yan Jing smiled, knowing that Dantai Feng's invitation meant he would come.

According to Yan Jing's cultivation plan, he would return to serve in Xia Guo in the future, so naturally, he needed to get along with these 'temple friends'.

As time passed, the banquet gradually came to an end.

"Senior Yan." Someone spoke nonchalantly, "I heard that in the recent Rob Sea battle, the one where the Spirit Spear defeated the Mother Nest Lair, you were there, right?"

Yan Jing, who had been relaxed, now felt a sense of urgency, but he maintained his composure and smiled, "Trick, did you just join the Divine Warrior Temple this year? Where did you get this information?"

The original intention of this banquet was to welcome this year's new arrivals from Blue Star.

"I heard so." Trick, with his golden hair, smiled.

"I was there." Yan Jing smiled.

"Oh?" Trick's eyes lit up with curiosity, "Senior Yan, do you know the Spirit Spear?"

Who is he?"

"Spirit Spear?"

"Did you also participate in the battle of Rob Sea, Yan?"

"That's amazing!"

"Yeah, who exactly is Spirit Spear?" A group of people who were initially chatting casually now turned to look at Yan Jing with curiosity.

"I don't know."

"I was responsible for another area during the entire operation, and I never saw Spirit Spear." Yan Jing shook his head, "But I heard from other Flying Heaven Warriors that Spirit Spear seems to be very old, and he's been pursuing the awakening of more Star Veins, so he hasn't broken through."

One part truth, nine parts lie.

This was the excuse Yan Jing had prepared when he received the confidential orders.

...

After the banquet, the crowd dispersed, but Yan Jing deliberately lingered at the back.

He watched Trick leave.

"Is this guy really just asking by accident, or is he intentionally testing me?" Yan Jing frowned slightly, feeling a hint of unease in his heart.

The orders from above had been issued long ago.

The list of their operation in Rob Sea was confidential, and most people were unaware of it.

Even someone with a powerful background like Dantai Feng didn't know.

Trick, a newcomer to the God Warrior Realm, how could he know?

"I shall report this."

"If he found out by accident, it won't affect him." Yan Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, "But if he's a spy?"

Yan Jing was very concerned about Li Yuan's safety.

Firstly, during the battle in Rob Sea, Li Yuan had turned to face the enemy alone, which deeply moved Yan Jing. In a sense, it was a life-saving favor.

Secondly, ever since he realized Li Yuan's innate talent and strength, he had made up his mind about one thing: if he wanted to establish himself in the upper echelons of Starfire Martial Hall and Xia Guo, then Li Yuan might very well become his greatest supporter.

Other Demigods? They didn't have such a close relationship.

...

Soon after.

"Reinvestigate Trick." An order came down from the upper echelons of Starfire Martial Hall: "Investigate all his connections, family information, and trace his every move in the virtual network over the past ten years."

"Around the clock, in the God Warrior Realm, keep him under surveillance."

This level of scrutiny required mobilizing a vast amount of resources and the collaborative effort of numerous departments.

Normally, when targeting members of the Martial God Temple, they would undergo extensive background checks before entering the God Warrior Realm.

But it was rare for them to be placed under 24-hour surveillance after entering the God Warrior Realm.

After all, if such a secret were leaked, it would cause great dissatisfaction and resentment among all the Martial God Temple geniuses.

Humans have secrets.

Humans have privacy needs.

No one wants their life to be under 24-hour surveillance.

That's how criminals are treated.

But this matter involved 'Spirit Spear', and even the Seven Star Civilization's first genius in history, so everyone from top to bottom dared not take it lightly.

Just three days later.

"Trick is clean."

"It's his university teacher, a top-tier Origin Warrior, who turned out to be a spy! He's been conducting transactions with Celestial Virtue Civilization... Capture him immediately."

"He used Trick's identity as a Martial God Temple member to try and uncover Spirit Spear's true identity and whereabouts." With extensive resources and comprehensive surveillance, they finally found some clues.

And this!

Was just the tip of the iceberg of alien forces probing for Spirit Spear's true identity and whereabouts. Many more spying operations were still hidden, never exposed.

...

Seven Star Mountain.

Time passed day by day.

Unaware of the outside world's disturbances, Li Yuan was in seclusion, wholeheartedly perceiving the mysteries of Wind and Earth.

Whether it was the Earth lineage or the Wind lineage, Li Yuan's strength steadily improved, and he was getting closer and closer to breaking through the bottleneck.

Perception techniques, awakening the Life Star... all proceeded in an orderly manner.

This was the magic of time.

Li Yuan didn't have any more sudden realizations.

But by relying on time to polish his skills, his overall strength was constantly improving, albeit slowly but very steadily.

In the blink of an eye, it was already August 2nd.

On this day.

After practicing gun techniques for two hours, Li Yuan once again began to awaken his Life Star.

Inside Li Yuan's body.

The vast and somewhat dim Life Star.

"~Hmm~" Li Yuan's spiritual power divided, forming thoughts that followed the invisible fluctuations between the Star Veins, sensing and constantly trying to awaken the stars.

It was very slow, and sometimes it failed! Unawakened Life Stars were in the minority, most were dormant dead stars, and every failure caused damage to his body and spirit, so Li Yuan was very cautious.

Suddenly—

Another Life Star awakened, and the moment it did, it instantly connected with another Life Star not far away.

~Buzz~ ~Buzz~ The Life Stars linked to each other, and in the blink of an eye, these invisible fluctuations had crossed half of the Life Star space.

This caused a sudden tremor in a particularly brilliant Star Vein, and immediately, this Star Vein underwent a transformation, becoming even more dazzling.

"Hmm?"

Li Yuan was first startled, then a wave of joy washed over him: "Sevenfold Star Vein!!"

"I've achieved it." Li Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment.

The first Star Vein was a Perfect Star Vein, and it was mostly due to the Heart Spirit Shrine's first awakening, with Li Yuan's own contribution being minimal.

And the four subsequent Star Veins were all awakened by Li Yuan himself.

The second Star Vein reaching the 'Sevenfold Star Vein' level was truly a cause for great joy.

The Fivefold Star Vein and Sevenfold Star Vein were both crucial.

Initially, awakening to the Fivefold Star Vein and cultivating the Star Art greatly increased Li Yuan's strength, easily dealing with the so-called Demi-God-level geniuses from the Ming Xu Civilization in the Inner Realm.

"Once I reach the Sevenfold Star Vein, I can begin cultivating the 'Earth Divine Body.'" A hint of anticipation arose in Li Yuan's heart.

The 'Mystic Body of Stars' was just a Fifth Rank Star Art, yet it allowed Li Yuan to dominate among Origin Warriors and even rival ordinary Skysoar Warriors.

The 'Earth Divine Body' was a Seven Star Art.

"Senior Dongfang Ji is invincible among Demi-Gods, and the Star Art with the greatest reputation that he cultivates is the 'Ten Thousand Gold Divine Body.'" Li Yuan thought to himself, "The 'Ten Thousand Gold Divine Body' is on par with the 'Earth Divine Body.'"

From this, one can imagine the strength of this Star Art; even among Demi-Gods, it belongs to the most powerful category.

At the Origin Warrior and Skysoar Warrior stages, it is absolutely a trans-dimensional strike, the very top tier.

"The Ming Xu Star Realm is imminent." Li Yuan had already seen the information about the Ming Xu Star Realm and was well aware of what it entailed.

Even if the top geniuses of the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization didn't come, he would still have to go there himself.

If it were just a breakthrough in technique, even if he condensed the True Intent of Wind and Earth to the Sixth Rank Intermediate level... Li Yuan wasn't very confident in fighting against the Skysoar Peak warriors native to the Ming Xu Star Realm.

The foundational gap was too large.

"By cultivating the 'Earth Divine Body,' once I unleash it, my foundational strength will surge, allowing me to truly rival the power of a 30th or even 31st-level Skysoar Realm in the Star Art state." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Then, I'll have a chance to contend with the Skysoar Peak experts."

Technique was very important.

But Li Yuan didn't need it; his realm was high enough.

Soon after.

A large number of rare treasures surrounded Li Yuan, and strands of essence gradually began to merge into his body, causing numerous wondrous changes to his physique.

Hum~ Hum~

The sevenfold Star Vein within Li Yuan's body instantly became dazzling, and sensing it became even more profound. It even became more active due to absorbing various strange energies and countless life stars.

"No time to waste!"

Li Yuan calmed his mind and began to engrave the first-rank Star Mark of the 'Earth Divine Body' on this Star Vein.

It was relatively easy, as the Star Marks on each life star began to be re-branded.

Rather than calling it re-branding, it was more like 'adding' to the existing marks.

For a normal Star Vein, if one wanted to cultivate a new Star Art, they must first wash away all traces of the previous Star Art on the Star Vein and restore it to its origin... It was an extremely difficult process.

"Huala~"

Li Yuan's true intent combined with his mental energy, and he quickly followed the cultivation secrets of the 'Earth Divine Body', beginning to absorb the essence of the surrounding rare treasures.

If one's technique wasn't proficient enough, they might even need the help of a Skysoar Warrior to cultivate such a powerful Star Art at the Origin Warrior stage.

But Li Yuan didn't need it; his realm was high enough.

Soon after.

Huala~ Countless rare treasures surrounded Li Yuan, and strands of essence gradually began to merge into his body, causing numerous wondrous changes to his physique.

Hum~ Hum~

The sevenfold Star Vein within Li Yuan's body instantly became dazzling, and sensing it became even more profound. It even became more active due to absorbing countless rare treasures, and countless life stars became more vibrant.

"No time to waste!"

Li Yuan calmed his mind and began to engrave the first-rank Star Mark of the 'Earth Divine Body' on this Star Vein.

It was relatively easy, as the Star Marks on each life star began to be re-branded.

Rather than calling it re-branding, it was more like 'adding' to the existing marks.

For a normal Star Vein, if one wanted to cultivate a new Star Art, they must first wash away all traces of the previous Star Art on the Star Vein and restore it to its origin... It was an extremely difficult process.

"Huala~"

Time passed, and with each changing Star Mark, Li Yuan's body underwent numerous subtle changes, an elevation of his life essence... Continuously absorbing the essence of countless rare treasures.

"Normally, cultivating to the 29.9th level, but through Star Art cultivation, one can further advance the body's foundation, getting closer and closer to the Skysoar Warrior Realm." Li Yuan thought to himself.

29.9th level and 30th level were worlds apart in terms of physical condition.

...

Even with the foundation of the 'Mystic Body of Stars', and even with the preparation of countless rare treasures.

Even with proficient technique and sufficient mental energy, Li Yuan still spent a full nine days to finally cultivate the 'Earth Divine Body' to the Second Rank Limit.

"The 'Earth Divine Body', at the Second Rank Limit, is a 14th-level Star Art." Li Yuan glanced at the surging power within his body.

Boom! Boom!

Without even unleashing the Star Art, his casual movements carried millions of pounds of force, causing the air to explode.

"My physical condition has improved further."

"But now, can I cultivate the 'Earth Star Vein True Understanding'?" A thought suddenly emerged in Li Yuan's mind.
