Chapter 322: The Law Oath! Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding

Chapter 322: The Law Oath! Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding

The arena hall was vast.

Yet, within a short time, hundreds of Silver Armored Warriors sprinted at supersonic speeds, charging ferociously towards the vicinity.

From a distance of several hundred meters, Li Yuan's sharp eyes could even discern the fine pores on these warriors' faces, accompanied by the faint rumbling of the earth.

Not a single breath could be heard.

"Halt!"

Li Yuan's heart stirred, and in the next moment, within a radius of over a hundred meters, countless subtle air currents appeared out of thin air. The combination of two True Intention Mystics, infused with Flying Heaven Rank Primordial Energy, formed air currents as sharp as blades.

"Pfft~" "Pfft!" Countless air currents, imbued with astonishing power, madly sliced through the Silver Armored Warriors, causing them to lose arms, be torn apart, or have their heads severed.

They fell one after another!

Subsequently, the bodies of these warriors transformed into countless silver liquids, reintegrating into the arena floor.

However.

At the edge of the arena, more silver liquids rose, re-coalescing into Silver Armored Warriors, who once again charged towards Li Yuan with a battle cry.

Like relentless waves, they ceaselessly surged towards Li Yuan.

"These Silver Armored Warriors all possess advanced Origin Warrior strength," Li Yuan thought to himself, "but they can't even breach my True Intention Domain."

In the blink of an eye, over five hundred Silver Armored Warriors had been eradicated by Li Yuan's domain.

Suddenly.

"The second trial!" A cold voice echoed in Li Yuan's mind, belonging to Chou Bingzun.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

More Silver Armored Warriors appeared at the edge of the arena, and their running speed was evidently faster.

"Their strength has generally increased, approaching the pinnacle of Origin Warriors?" Li Yuan furrowed his brows.

However, this boost in strength didn't have much impact. Li Yuan, relying on his prowess, could sweep them, and not a single warrior could get within fifty meters of him.

"The third trial." The cold voice sounded again.

"Pfft!" "Swoosh~" The might of the True Intention Domain was astonishing, capable of slaying the newly formed Silver Armored Warriors, but it was noticeably more laborious than before.

"If an ordinary Skysoarer were to withstand the siege of so many top-tier Origin Warriors, they'd be severely wounded even if they survived," Li Yuan thought to himself.

However, facing the domain's obstruction, these warriors still couldn't get close to Li Yuan.

The last Silver Armored Warrior charged to within twenty meters of Li Yuan and was eradicated by the True Intention Domain.

By this time, Li Yuan hadn't even drawn his weapon, nor moved his body.

"The fourth trial!"

The Silver Armored Warriors in the fourth trial experienced a sudden surge in strength, and the countless blade-like True Intention air currents could only inflict minor wounds on them.

"Flying Heaven Rank body?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a chill, and a weapon appeared in his palm.

Boom!

Li Yuan finally moved, brandishing his spear and attacking the Silver Armored Warriors with malicious intent could fall into the wrong hands, leading to harm innocent lives, and cause destruction.

"Pfft!" "Boom!" "Boom!" These Silver Armored Warriors charged with murderous intent, surging towards Li Yuan like a tide, and in an instant, spear light flashed, swiftly tearing their bodies apart.

With a single spear sweep, countless Silver Armored Warriors fell.

"Too weak.

"Too weak," Li Yuan shook his head, not even using his two strongest Star Arts, as he needed to conserve Primordial Energy. Now, he purely relied on his spear and combat skills.

Without using Star Arts, Li Yuan's spear techniques alone were comparable to a 33rd-level practitioner.

In the deepest part of the inner layer of the Mother Ship.

Here, a massive light screen projection displayed Li Yuan undergoing the ten trials.

"Master, what do you think of him?" The massive black flying snake shadow respectfully asked, "His killing speed is astonishing, and he's already reached the sixth trial without even using Body Refinement Star Techniques... There's definitely hope for him to pass all ten trials."

"Not very likely," a gentle voice sounded, "If he had sufficient Primordial Energy, he would undoubtedly break through the trials."

"But he's an Origin Warrior, and his Primordial Energy storage is limited. The stronger the Star Art's might, the more Primordial Energy is consumed during combat... There are gains and losses."

"But passing the ninth trial shouldn't be difficult," the gentle voice continued, "In the inner layer, he can take some time, and he can also come to meet you."

"The Seven Star Civilization probably won't be extraordinary, and his cultivation wasn't the best, but he has combined the True Intention Mystics of Earth and Wind to such an extent... He's a monster."

"Congratulations, Master, we've finally found a suitable candidate." The black flying snake shadow respectfully agreed.

"Don't congratulate me yet."

"Even if he's a monster, it depends on his final choice." The gentle voice slowly said, "If he makes the wrong choice, the more monstrous he is, the more he poses a threat to me."

"I understand."

"If his choice is incorrect, then we should eliminate him."

"The black flying serpent's illusory shadow appeared one after another."

"Oh, the eighth trial is about to begin."

...

Alien God Zone, the place of trials.

"Boom!"

"Boom!" "Boom!" The silver warriors roared, their auras already incredibly powerful, even drawing upon the forces of heaven and earth.

Powerful!

Each silver warrior had reached the Flying Heaven Rank in combat strength. Li Yuan unleashed his True Intention Realm, but it wasn't enough to cause significant harm to them. It could only serve to restrain and hinder their ability to surround him.

"Having passed the sixth trial, you are already qualified to become the Alien God's personal disciple." Li Yuan's eyes turned cold. "But at the eighth trial, they are all at the Flying Heaven Rank? Is the difficulty this high?"

He was only 20 years old, and logically, the trials should have been much easier than Xue Yan's.

"Swoosh!"

Li Yuan's figure flickered, and he grew to a height of five meters. A wild aura spread, and he finally unleashed the Ultimate Body Refining Technique, 'Divine Body of All Things'.

"Pfft!" "Swoosh!" "Boom~" Li Yuan's strength surged, his figure resembling a ghost as his spear technique's power skyrocketed from the previous 33rd level to the 35th level.

Wherever his spear reached, the silver armored warriors fell, none able to withstand a single strike from Li Yuan.

However, the previously slow-consuming Primordial Power now depleted at a rate ten times faster.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! I must slaughter them as quickly as possible." Li Yuan was worried about the potential consequences if he didn't act swiftly.

Although using Star Arts made his strength formidable, compared to a true Skyso Warrior, what he lacked was the 'Origin Core'. His recovery speed and storage capacity were far inferior.

For this reason, in the past, when Li Yuan fought against numerous powerful Skyso Warriors, he always sought quick and decisive battles.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Li Yuan, having unleashed the Divine Body of All Things, was incredibly ferocious, sweeping through the silver armored warriors whose strength had reached the Flying Heaven Rank.

In the ninth trial, the silver warriors' strength didn't increase further, but their skills had become even more refined.

"Shadow Nine Clones!" Li Yuan unleashed his final trump card without hesitation, and nine shadows of himself flickered in the void, forming nine dazzling threads.

The killing speed surged once more.

The depletion of his Primordial Power was even more astonishing.

"Recover! Quick recovery!" Li Yuan's six Star Pulses within his body rotated, frantically absorbing external energy and converting it into his own Primordial Power.

The stronger the Star Pulses, the more Primordial Power they could store, and the faster they could recover.

... After a quarter of an hour.

With the last silver warrior falling, Li Yuan snapped out of his extreme killing frenzy.

"Did I kill them all?" Li Yuan wondered, as the arena fell into complete silence.

"My Primordial Power is down to less than a tenth of its original amount." Li Yuan felt a wave of fear.

The silver warriors in the ninth and tenth trials were incredibly powerful, each one estimated to be near the 32nd level, requiring Li Yuan's full-force could potentially fall into the wrong hands, leading to harm.

Otherwise, Li Yuan might have exhausted his Primordial Power before eliminating them.

Buzz!

A mass of light converged, forming a tall, majestic figure with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Spirit Lance, you actually passed through? Using so many Star Arts and fighting this long, your Primordial Power managed to hold out."

"Could it be that you're not a Six-Star Pulse but a Seven-Star Pulse?" Chou Bingzun asked curiously. "Even if you are a Seven-Star Pulse, it's not guaranteed that you could pass the ten trials according to common sense."

Li Yuan smiled.

Seven-Star Pulse?

While he was indeed a Six-Star Pulse, each of his Star Pulses was incredibly strong, and three of them were 'Perfect Star Pulses'. Just in terms of Primordial Power recovery speed, many Seven-Star Pulses might not compare to him.

Gu Ju Divine Lord, for example, was a Seven-Star Pulse, but only had two Perfect Star Pulses.

"Senior, does this mean I passed the trial?" Li Yuan asked.

"Of course."

"The Celestial Serpent Deity's ten trials were never meant to be passed. Chou Bingzun said, "After all, your civilization is too weak, and even a Seven-Star Pulse is hard to come by, let alone an unparalleled genius?"

Li Yuan was speechless, realizing that Seven-Star Pulses didn't seem like much to Chou Bingzun.

But considering his identity, Li Yuan understood.

Seven-Star Pulses were legendary in this dimensional domain for many civilizations, and many Demigods might not encounter one in their entire lifetime... because Demigods could only live for a thousand years.

As for the Deities, they could live for five thousand years, and their strength and vision were far superior, allowing them to encounter far more... Awakening a Seven-Star Pulse was indeed an exceptional talent for the Deities, but it wasn't unattainable.

"Like that young man named Xue Yan, who almost passed the seventh trial, it's actually quite impressive," Chou Bingzun smiled. "Of course, it's still far inferior to you."

"His skill level isn't much weaker than yours, but his Star Arts are far behind."

"Plus, he's older than you, and the trials are more challenging." Chou Bingzun added, "The earlier one, Yu Jinghe, barely passed the sixth trial."

Li Yuan nodded, sensing Chou Bingzun's changing attitude towards him.

Previously, he hadn't revealed any of this information.

Before heading to the inner core, one must first receive the Alien God's heritage." Chou Bingzun turned to Li Yuan, "You've chosen the Wind Alien Deity."

Huff!

Chou Bingzun pointed towards the arena, and the surrounding space seemed to tremble slightly.

Whoosh~ Countless rays of light converged, forming a blue-robed shadow with an indifferent expression, emanating an enigmatic aura that made even Li Yuan feel a hint of pressure.

"Wind Alien Deity?" Li Yuan held his breath, instantly recognizing the figure.

This blue-robed shadow was identical to the majestic statue in the outside world.

"Hmm?" The blue-robed shadow glanced at Chou Bingzun, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes before quickly returning to normal.

"I am merely a spiritual imprint left by the Wind Deity." The blue-robed shadow looked at Li Yuan, "According to the Alien Messenger, you are qualified to become my innermost disciple and receive the many treasures I've left behind... But you should know, I have already perished."

"In reality, whether or not I take on an innermost disciple doesn't hold much significance for me." The blue-robed shadow said, "I left this heritage as both the Venerable's request and my last wish."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

The 'Venerable' mentioned by the Wind Alien Deity should be the Serpent Deity.

"Senior, what are your requirements?" Li Yuan asked.

"If you become a name-inscribed disciple, I have no demands. I will give you a treasure, and you can choose any seven-stage star technique from my legacy." The blue-robed shadow explained.

"If you become an inner discipline disciple, I will give you a more valuable treasure. You can choose any one star technique from my legacy and receive a 'Deity's Perspective'. But you must promise that after you become a deity, if the opportunity arises, you must go to my homeland, Frostwind Star, and find a suitable life to become an inner disciple. You must also do your best to teach them to become a demigod." The blue-robed shadow continued, "However, you must promise that after you become a deity, if the opportunity arises, you must go to my homeland, Frostwind Star, and find a suitable life to become an inner disciple. You must also do your best to teach them to become a demigod."

"Frostwind Star?" Li Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

Where is this place? I've never heard of it!

With Li Yuan's access, he had contact with numerous exotic civilizations surrounding the Seven Star Civilization, but Frostwind Star was not among them.

"Senior, what if I can't find Frostwind Star?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"It's been less than ten thousand years since the past, and the chances of my homeland's destruction are also low..." The blue-robed shadow pondered for a moment, "If you truly can't find it by then, it won't count as breaking your promise."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, considering this promise.

This commitment was something he could consider.

It was a task for the future, as he was only at the second tier, far from becoming a deity.

Moreover, it wasn't a compulsory requirement.

"Senior, what about becoming an innermost disciple?" Li Yuan asked.

"To become my innermost disciple, you must agree to go to Frostwind Star after becoming a deity and protect it for a thousand years, teaching ten demigod disciples or even a deity." The blue-robed shadow looked at Li Yuan with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes, "Then, you will receive all my star techniques, a grand gift, a Deity's Perspective, and a Spiritual Imprint."

Hearing this, Li Yuan finally understood why Chou Bingzun had reminded him to be cautious about becoming an innermost disciple.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

These conditions were too harsh.

Protecting for a thousand years? How long has he even lived? Even a fifth-tier deity only lives for five thousand years.

As for teaching a deity? It's a fantasy. Even if he becomes powerful in the future, it would require a life from Frostwind Star with incredibly high talent... Deities are not easily created.

"Senior, may I see the star techniques you've left behind?" Li Yuan asked directly.

"Of course." The blue-robed shadow nodded, waving his hand to form a light screen beside him.

On it were numerous star technique names and descriptions.

"Nine-Stage Star Technique, 'Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding': The first six stages can enhance the cultivator's affinity with the Wind Law, making it the strongest in the Endless Dimensional River..."

"Seven-Stage Star Technique, 'Phantom Thousand Lights'..."

"Seven-Stage Star Technique..."

...

There were dozens of star techniques, including one nine-stage, four seven-stage, and the rest were five and six-stage techniques.

"Nine-Stage Star Technique, 'Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding'!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up, immediately noticing this star technique. From its name to its description, Li Yuan instantly judged that this was likely the ultimate supporting technique of the Wind Lineage, on par with 'Fire Star Path True Understanding'.

"Young one, do you wish to become my innermost disciple?" The Wind Alien Deity's eyes held expectation.

He knew that Li Yuan had passed ten trials, and such a genius was a rare find.

"Senior, a thousand years is too long." Li Yuan shook his head, "I will become your inner disciple."

The offer to become an innermost disciple was indeed tempting, but the conditions were too harsh.

All the star techniques left behind? Only that ultimate technique attracted him.

A deity's spiritual imprint? Could it compare to the Wushen heritage?

A grand gift? Could it surpass what Gu Ju Divine Being left for him?

If Li Yuan had lesser talent or was from a weaker civilization, he might have agreed.

But Li Yuan's external cultivation conditions were already excellent, and the Wind Alien Deity's entire legacy was just an added luxury.

The cost-effectiveness was too low.

"Alright." A glimmer of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the green-robed shadow.

But he also understood that for an unparalleled genius like Li Yuan, it was almost impossible to agree to such harsh demands.

However, he was merely a mental imprint left by the Wind Alien God, and he had to obey the orders of the Wind Alien God.

"Alien Messenger." The green-robed shadow turned to the nearby Chou Bingzun.

"Spirit Lance, words are not enough. You must swear by the Great Law and make a Law Oath." Chou Bingzun smiled, "Only then will the Alien God will believe you."

"A Law Oath?" Li Yuan felt puzzled.

"Strong cultivators all comprehend the Great Law. The Great Law has its own will, and every cultivator who comprehends it is like a child of the Great Law..." Chou Bingzun smiled, "By swearing to the Great Law, you will be bound by its constraints."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that the swearer must cross the threshold of the Great Law and ignite the Divine Fire... Only then will the oath take effect."

"Ordinary mortals swearing is useless." Chou Bingzun said, "Like you now, you haven't crossed the threshold of the Great Law, and there's no constraint yet... But if one day you become a deity, you will naturally feel the binding power of the oath."

"If you go against your heart and don't fulfill it, you will suffer the backlash of the oath." Chou Bingzun explained.

Li Yuan was surprised that there was such a method.

But listening to Senior Chou's words, it seemed that only a deity's oath would be binding.

"Here is your oath." Chou Bingzun waved his hand, and a light screen formed around Li Yuan's body, with many strange characters on it.

Li Yuan was surprised that even though he didn't recognize these characters, he could still understand their meaning.

"This is the 'Heavenly Earth Script', derived from the mysteries of heaven and earth. As long as one's comprehension of heaven and earth reaches the True Intention level, they can understand it." Chou Bingzun explained, "In the vast Endless Dimensional River, the Heavenly Earth Script is the universal language."

Li Yuan understood.

After reading the oath twice to confirm its accuracy, Li Yuan immediately spoke, "I swear by the Great Law. If I become an Inner Discipline Disciple of the Xiguade Deity, and if I receive the promised treasure as a gift, then after I become a deity..."

The oath was made.

Li Yuan didn't feel any changes in himself, but the green-robed shadow revealed a smile.

"The oath is complete. Once you cross the threshold of the Great Law, you will sense its effect." Chou Bingzun smiled, "Wait until you become a deity, and you will naturally be bound."

"Mhm." Li Yuan nodded and then slightly bowed to the green-robed figure, "Teacher."

"No need for formalities." The green-robed shadow shook his head, "Firstly, I'm not a true Xiguade Disciple, and secondly, this is essentially a transaction, just a nominal master-disciple relationship."

"I can only wish you success in becoming a deity." The green-robed shadow looked at Li Yuan with a complex gaze.

Then, his figure suddenly dissipated.

"Hmm?"

"He's gone?" Li Yuan was stunned, he hadn't given me my treasure yet!!!

"Don't worry, I'll deliver the treasure." Chou Bingzun, who was nearby, smiled, "As an Inner Discipline Disciple, the gift given to you is a Ten-Direction Five-Element Crystal."

"Ten-Direction?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, that would be worth 1 million Seven-Star Points.

"Also, you just witnessed the Star Art of the Wind Alien God. Which one do you want?" Chou Bingzun asked.

"Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding." Li Yuan replied without hesitation.

"This is a Ninefold Star Art, and it's only an auxiliary technique." Chou Bingzun's eyes flashed with surprise, "You've already cultivated the Ultimate Body Refining Star Art, and your talent in the Earth Vein is even higher. You could cultivate the Earth Vein True Understanding."

"This Celestial Wind Star Path True Understanding. If you can't cultivate it, its effect will be inferior to other Sixth-Fold Star Arts. Are you sure?" Chou Bingzun couldn't help but advise.

"I'm sure." Li Yuan affirmed.

Other cultivators might worry about the strength of their Star Veins, but Li Yuan wasn't afraid. Compared to the combat power provided by the Killing Star Art, these auxiliary Star Arts were even more important. The comprehension of skills and techniques was crucial and profound.

Without the Earth Vein True Understanding, Li Yuan wouldn't have made such rapid progress in the Earth Vein.

"Very well." Chou Bingzun stopped persuading and waved his hand, causing a thin, chip-like Storage Artifact to appear.

It flew towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan reached out and accepted it, sensing it with his spiritual consciousness. The Storage Artifact hadn't recognized its owner yet, and the internal space wasn't very large.

Apart from the neatly arranged Ten-Direction Five-Element Crystals, there were two crystal balls emitting mysterious fluctuations.

"Deity's Perspective? Star Art?" Li Yuan sensed carefully and confirmed, then joy surged within him.

He didn't need this Deity's Perspective, and he could always find a way to exchange it for other cultivation resources later.

It could be said that his gains from this trip were already significant.

"Spirit Lance, do you want to go to the inner core region now or later?" Chou Bingzun asked.

"Is there a difference?" Li Yuan asked.

"No difference." Chou Bingzun shook his head, "The inner core region is the legacy of the Serpent Deity, and your talent and strength are already sufficient. There won't be any tests... I'll just remind you, it's also a choice."

"To gain, you must give." Chou Bingzun looked at Li Yuan.
