Chapter 294: Returning to the Inner Realm

Chapter 294: Returning to the Inner Realm



Despite acquiring multiple inheritances and cultivating various Star Arts, Li Yuan's innermost heart valued the Ninefold Star Art, 'Earth Star Vein True Interpretation', the most powerful Star Art.

This art enhances the harmony between a person and the Earth's rules, greatly improving the efficiency of comprehending the mysteries of the world.

Technique is the foundation.

Within a short time, Li Yuan was able to push his understanding of Earth's True Intent Mystique, eventually reaching the brink of True Intent Intermediate level... This ultimate Star Art is indispensable.

However, Li Yuan's cultivation was only at the First Rank limit.

In fact, over the past year, Li Yuan would use the Earth Divine Crystal at intervals to attempt imprinting the Second Rank Star Mark on his Perfect Star Pulse... But each time, he only managed to leave a faint mark.

"My understanding of the Earth Star Pulse is already quite high, and I've comprehended the Second Rank Star Mark deeply. With a thought, I can condense the Star Mark imprint in the void." Li Yuan thought to himself, "With auxiliary cultivation objects, the Earth Divine Crystal is also sufficient."

"Mental Energy? In the Flying Heaven Warriors, it's considered extremely strong."

Then, there's only one possibility—my body isn't strong enough!

The body is the foundation of all cultivation. The stronger the body, the better it can nurture the soul and the source of life.

"When I cultivated 'Earth Star Vein True Interpretation' to the First Rank, I was already an Origin Warrior, naturally able to easily withstand the First Rank Star Mark." Li Yuan thought, "Now that I've cultivated to 29.9 Rank... But for this powerful Star Art's Second Rank Star Mark, if I want my source of life to perfectly bear it, the requirements for the source of life's origin are probably extremely high."

The stronger the Star Art, the more demanding its cultivation.

...

Li Yuan took out a small piece of Earth Divine Crystal.

He encircled himself with it, focusing his mind on absorbing the essence within the crystal.

Hum~ A massive amount of strange energy.

Under Li Yuan's deliberate guidance, it gradually flowed into that perfect Star Pulse.

Instantly, his Life Stars' radiance surged, making Li Yuan's perception of his source of life much clearer, many times over.

"Begin."

"Imprint the Star Mark." Most of Li Yuan's consciousness completely enveloped the perfect Star Pulse.

Rumble~

The first Life Star trembled, and as that thread of Source Energy merged into the Life Star, attempting to construct the Second Rank Star Mark.

A new Star Mark was born, containing an invisible might that immediately increased the pressure on the entire Life Star, causing Li Yuan to feel a slight discomfort in his body...

"Although I cultivate Body Refinement Star Technique, my body is still a bit weak." Li Yuan immediately judged, "Since the source of life isn't strong enough, it can barely withstand it."

It's like a planet with limited resources, normally able to support a population of one billion... If a hundred million people lived there, resource scarcity would eventually cause various issues, even leading to the planet's collapse.

Cultivating Star Arts is the same.

With an insufficiently strong body and source of life, one can't withstand too powerful Star Marks...

"If I become a Flying Heaven Warrior, with my life tier leaping, cultivating my body to the Third Rank, it'll probably be quite easy." Li Yuan thought. "But to cultivate as an Origin Warrior, I need an extremely strong Body Refinement Star Technique as the foundation."

Body Refinement Star Technique promotes the leap in life tier from all aspects.

"I also need a large amount of Earth Divine Crystals to assist in my cultivation." Li Yuan's body strength was already near the Origin Warrior's limit, barely able to withstand it.

However, even with the addition of a large number of Earth Divine Crystals, imprinting the Second Rank Star Mark was still very slow.

After a long time, the second rank Star Mark of 'Earth Star Vein True Interpretation' finally succeeded in imprinting the first mark.

"With one success, I can do it. But just to successfully imprint one, it consumed so much Earth Divine Crystal essence... If I want to cultivate them all?" Li Yuan's thoughts stirred, and he quickly reached a conclusion.

If he wanted to cultivate them all using Earth Divine Crystals, he would need to exchange for Earth Divine Crystals worth at least 100,000 points in the Seven-Star Treasure.

Otherwise, it's not enough to cultivate this Star Art to the Second Rank limit.

"How many points do I have? How can I afford to spend so much?" Li Yuan shook his head to himself, waving his hand to put away the Earth Divine Crystal floating around him.

After cultivating 'Earth Divine Body' to its limit, the number of Five Element Divine Crystals Li Yuan possessed was also not many.

"Let's see."

"I need to return to the Inner Realm and use that stone chamber for cultivation, then I might be able to cultivate the Star Art to the Second Rank limit." Li Yuan thought.

After a brief contemplation, he sent a message to End Wood Mountain Lord, presenting his request.

"If this news gets back, it'll probably shock the higher-ups." Li Yuan thought, "They'll probably guess that I have secrets in the Inner Realm."

But Li Yuan didn't mind too much.

The situation now is different from the past. When he first obtained the Gu Ju Divine Lord inheritance, his vision and strength were far inferior to what they are now, so he was cautious and didn't dare expose himself... At that time, he had no idea about the resources controlled by Eastern Peak, the leader of the Seven-Star Civilization.

But now it seems that Eastern Peak has an astonishing amount of resources in his hands, at least not lacking in divine inheritances.

Moreover, although Li Yuan performed well initially, he didn't join the Warrior Temple and wasn't truly valued by Eastern Peak.

Faced with the possible coveting of a Demigod, he was naturally cautious.

But now? With his increased strength and status, unless a Demigod directly takes action, Li Yuan isn't afraid.

...

Inside the palace at the peak of Seven-Star Mountain.

End Wood Great, awakening from his quiet cultivation, looked at Li Yuan's request, momentarily stunned, "The Inner Realm of Feathered Star Realm, isn't it only accessible to First Rank Life forms?"

"Does that mean Li Yuan has additional access permissions?"

End Wood Great didn't dare be careless, and after a brief contemplation, he made another communication.

Soon, the connection was established.

"End Wood Mountain Lord, what's the matter?" A low and cool voice sounded.

"Three Leaf Demigod." End Wood Great said, "It's Li Yuan. He just requested to go to the Inner Realm of Feathered Star Realm and use the stone chamber for cultivation."

"What?" Three Leaf Demigod was also slightly surprised, "Isn't the Inner Realm only accessible to First Rank Life forms?"

End Wood Great remained silent.

After a while, he replied, "Tell him it's okay. I'll arrange for the guarding warriors to leave that area... He can use it as he wishes, and leave after he's done cultivating... Try to avoid exposing his whereabouts."

"Mm." End Wood Mountain Lord nodded, then couldn't help but ask, "What about the previously arranged personnel?"

After winning the war in the Inner Realm, the Seven-Star Civilization planned to have warriors enter the Inner Realm, break through to the Second Rank Origin Warrior, and then use the stone chamber to assist in cultivating secret techniques and Star Arts.

In the vast civilization, a large quantity of Five Elements Divine Crystals were saved for the entire province.

There was a list of priorities, and Trilobite Demigod's command allowed Li Yuan to cut in line directly.

"Postpone everything."

"If anyone asks, tell them this is the Alliance Leader's order," Trilobite Demigod said.

Trilobite Demigod then softened his voice, "Li Yuan, as the cultivation genius of the civilization, any requirements he has should be met to the fullest... Moreover, he has control over the Inner Realm, which he conquered himself, and his ability to freely enter and exit implies he possesses special privileges. There might even be secrets hidden deep within the Inner Realm."

"Understood," Principal Fang Hai nodded.

Trilobite Demigod's implication was simple—other cultivation resources being delayed might not be an issue... But the cultivation resources of the Inner Realm were related to Li Yuan.

If Li Yuan's requirements weren't met, no one might be able to use the Stone Chamber.

...

"Approved so quickly? I can have unlimited access after just one day?" Li Yuan was surprised.

He thought there would be some haggling.

After all, Li Yuan knew that many First Rank geniuses in the Seven Stars Civilization were preparing to queue up... Li Yuan had already made up his mind to wait in line.

"Perhaps my ability to freely enter and exit the Inner Realm has intimidated the other Demigods," Li Yuan thought to himself.

This privilege was special; any Demigod could guess that something was amiss.

"Let's go!"

Not wanting to waste time, Li Yuan quietly left Seven Stars Mountain, except for Principal Fang Hai... No one knew his whereabouts.

After leaving the God Warrior Realm.

Li Yuan didn't choose to fly directly but instead boarded a flying vehicle, disguising himself as someone else.

This was Principal Fang Hai's arrangement.

Although the various alien civilizations were focusing their investigations on the 'Spirit Lance', they remained vigilant towards the super genius 'Li Yuan'.

Staying in the God Warrior Realm was fine.

Once outside, if his whereabouts were leaked, he might encounter assassination attempts... The vast Flying Heaven, far beyond the Blue Planet, left uncertainty about whether alien civilizations could mobilize Flying Heaven peak experts.

...

The God Warrior Realm was located in a dense cluster of mansions and villas above the earth.

Inside an unassuming mansion.

A young woman in tight-fitting clothes was holding a long sword, quietly cultivating sword techniques in the martial arts room.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The sword lights danced, and with each flicker, a faint fire mystery wave rippled through the heavens and earth, causing a faint flame to appear in midair.

If the Flying Heaven experts saw this scene, they would be shocked and amazed.

It was normal for the sword to draw upon the power of the heavens and earth.

But to make the power of the heavens and earth manifest? To truly form a tangible manifestation of the mystery... Even a Fifth Rank Life Form would find it challenging.

"Fire Lineage."

"I have an extremely high affinity with the Fire Lineage." Lin Lan Yue thought, "In combat, with the same skill level, I can display even greater strength when it comes to the Fire Lineage."

Leaving the Inner Realm, she arrived at the God Warrior Realm.

Lin Lan Yue still didn't dare to relax her cultivation.

The various experiences she had since her youth had also caused changes in her heart.

Like the last time, when she learned that Li Yuan wasn't coming, Lin Lan Yue directly refused.

"Master, Trilobite Demigod is calling and requests to connect," the assistant AI's voice suddenly sounded in the martial arts room.

"Trilobite Demigod?" Lin Lan Yue was slightly surprised.

When she was cultivating intently, it was usually impossible for anyone to disturb her.

"Answer," Lin Lan Yue said directly, and then she put away her sword.

The call was connected.

"Lan Yue, I hope I didn't disturb your cultivation," a clear and gentle voice echoed from the empty projection.

"Demigod, is there something?" Lin Lan Yue asked.

"There's something I'd like to consult with you about Li Yuan," Trilobite Demigod said.

Quickly, Trilobite Demigod explained the detailed situation to Lin Lan Yue.

"You are a named disciple of the Fire Deity, and we understand your freedom to enter and exit the Inner Realm," Trilobite Demigod said, "But Li Yuan, according to his own words, he only obtained the Demigod Heritage... Why does he possess this privilege?"

Lin Lan Yue was stunned, her mind racing.

In just a moment.

"Demigod, I'm not a direct disciple, and only the Realm Spirit knows the many secrets of the Inner Realm," Lin Lan Yue said, "In fact, if Li Yuan isn't comprehending the Earth Lineage, with his peerless talent, he might have already become a direct disciple of the Realm Spirit... Plus, he discovered the traces of the Fiery Deity."

"Perhaps it's a special privilege the Realm Spirit granted him," Lin Lan Yue said, "After all, he's also part of the Fire Deity's lineage."

Lin Lan Yue's response was tight-lipped.

She naturally knew the real reason, but compared to the Seven Stars Civilization's upper echelons... She trusted Li Yuan more.

Since Li Yuan didn't mention it, Lin Lan Yue naturally wouldn't reveal it.

"Okay."

"I understand. You can continue your cultivation," Trilobite Demigod's voice was gentle, "With your talent, there's hope for you to achieve the Demigod rank. I look forward to the day when we stand side by side."

Both parties hung up the call.

"Li Yuan went to the Inner Realm again?" Lin Lan Yue thought, "Is he just borrowing the Stone Chamber for cultivation?"

...

After just a dozen hours, Li Yuan had already crossed half of Flying Heaven, half of the Feathered Star Realm, and arrived outside the war palace established by the Flaming Family.

Other First Rank Life Forms had to pass through the 'passage' to enter the Inner Realm.

But Li Yuan, holding the token, didn't need to.

Just as Gu You and the Realm Spirit had said, with the token in hand, he could directly enter the Inner Realm when he was nearby.

"Let's go," Li Yuan's heart moved, and the token was activated.

The next moment.

Hum~ With Li Yuan's current strength, he faintly felt a formless ripple appear in midair.

"Li Yuan, welcome back. Don't resist," the Realm Spirit's gentle voice sounded.

Swish~

An invisible force enveloped Li Yuan, and he instantly disappeared from his original spot, already entering the Inner Realm.

...

Swish~

Li Yuan only felt flickering lights around him, followed by countless streams of light, making it impossible to see in all directions. He found himself in an ancient palace.

This was the inheritance hall of the Earth Deity.

"Young Master, you're back so soon. Are you prepared to take on the challenge of the inheritance hall?"
