Chapter 330: Level 388! Surrender or Die
Chapter 330: Level 388! Surrender or Die
"Bloodline, is it a restriction?" A hint of bewilderment flashed in Qing She's eyes.
She had inherited memories and the information left by Chou Bingzun, along with vague recollections from the past twenty thousand years... but ultimately, as a newborn, much of her knowledge had yet to be fully integrated into her understanding.
"Look at your elder brother," Chou Bingzun smiled. "He is a rare genius among the billions of human lives, reaching the peak of the second rank at the age of twenty, which is quite effortless... but he has certainly gone through many trials."
"For example, to bring you into the world, he endured three months of excruciating mental agony. Could you have endured that?"
Qing She shook her head.
She knew about Li Yuan's sacrifices and the unbearable torment of mental agony... she doubted she could have persisted.
"Soul power can grow quickly with the help of certain artifacts," Chou Bingzun continued.
"But the growth of the mind can only come with time and experience." He looked at Qing She, "Your soul has already reached the peak of the Flight stage... but your willpower is only at the peak of the second rank."
"Your elder brother? His willpower is likely close to the Demigod level," Chou Bingzun sighed, "which is truly remarkable."
Qing She listened attentively.
"Think about it, he is only twenty years old, growing from weakness to strength."
"If a human without the blessing of a bloodline endures ten thousand years of hardship and adversity to become a Peak True Deity, how formidable must his character and will be?" Chou Bingzun asked, "If you relied solely on your bloodline, living a carefree life for hundreds of years to reach the Peak True Deity, could you compare to such a strong individual?"
"No, I couldn't," Qing She shook her head.
"Those who rise from humble beginnings are one in a billion," Chou Bingzun sighed, "but if they do rise, they are often the most terrifying."
"Many of the most powerful beings in the Divine Realm started as the weakest, non-ranked lives and grew step by step."
"Someone like you, if you drift along without effort, will find your cultivation increasingly difficult as time goes on," Chou Bingzun looked at Qing She, "because your strength comes too easily, too effortlessly."
"Once the power of your bloodline is fully tapped and you need to rely solely on yourself... it will be difficult," Chou Bingzun said solemnly.
Qing She nodded, "Senior, what should I do?"
"Strive!"
"Your bloodline has given you a starting point that surpasses countless lives, so you should strive even more," Chou Bingzun said earnestly, "you were born with Seven Star Veins, so you should strive to reach Eight Star Veins in the Flight stage."
"Inside the Sky Serpent Palace."
"I have prepared many training grounds for you, some of which are even life-threatening... if you can endure, I believe you will surpass most Holy Blood Sky Serpents in history," Chou Bingzun said, "but I wonder if you can do it."
"I can!"
"I want to rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan with my elder brother," Qing She said softly, her spiritual eyes gleaming, "I also want to take revenge... for the fallen members of my clan."
The vague memories from the past twenty thousand years gave Qing She a general understanding of what had happened.
And she understood the responsibilities she had to shoulder.
"Very well," Chou Bingzun nodded in satisfaction, "then let's start with cultivating Star Arts. Once you master three Star Arts to the peak of the second rank, I will begin your special training."
"Training in movement techniques."
"Comprehending the Essence of Wind."
"Honing your will."
"Practical combat."
"None of these can be overlooked," Chou Bingzun knew very well that during the upcoming rigorous training, Liu Bing would likely face scenes of utter torment and breakdown, after all, she was still a newborn...
But as long as she persisted, persisted!
Looking back after a few hundred years, Liu Bing would naturally have undergone a remarkable transformation.
...
Even with the aid of the Phantom Soul Elixir, Li Yuan's understanding of the soul was still too shallow.
Thus, it took him another month and a half before he finally completed the initial cultivation of the "Half-God Chapter" of the "Nine Refinements of Soul Mind."
Before he knew it, it was already early March of 2046.
In the quiet room on the Mother Ship.
"Cultivating this secret art is far more troublesome than cultivating Star Arts," Li Yuan shook his head, "I’ve only managed to achieve a minor success."
Li Yuan estimated that if a Peak Void Deity were to cultivate it, with their near-deity level soul and the aid of the Phantom Soul Elixir, they could likely complete the "Half-God Chapter" in one go.
"However, just to enslave some Flight-ranked lives, the initial level of the 'Nine Refinements of Soul Mind' is sufficient," Li Yuan sensed his own spiritual consciousness.
Compared to the past, it had become much more agile, and its power was much more condensed... cultivating the "Nine Refinements of Soul Mind" also significantly enhanced Li Yuan's soul attacks and defenses.
"The growth of my psychic power is a pleasant surprise," Li Yuan sensed the unprecedented strength of his psychic power, his peripheral vision also sweeping over the Divine Palace Panel... Psychic Power Level 38.8.
It should be noted that before using the Phantom Soul Elixir, Li Yuan's divine sense had already become very weak after three months of depletion... but in the past half month, not only had he fully recovered from his past damage, he had even made further progress.
"Previously, I thought that even with the 'Great Sun Starry Sky Sutra,' the Origin Warrior stage would likely only grow to around Level 39, making it extremely difficult to transform into the Demigod level," Li Yuan mused, "but now, it seems that in another one or two years, I should be able to reach Level 39.9."
"Perhaps."
"I might be able to attempt to reach Demi-Deity Rank Psychic Power during the Origin Warrior stage." A glimmer of light shone in Li Yuan's eyes.
Demi-Deity Rank Psychic Power would further increase Li Yuan's comprehension of the mysteries of the world and greatly enhance his awakening speed.
Additionally, it would also raise the upper limit of his Spirituality Awakening, perhaps even allowing him to increase it to 70% or even 75%.
"The advancement of my Psychic Body and Essence Understanding will enable me to awaken my Star Pulse faster."
"At the same time, there's a chance I can initiate the third Spirituality Guidance." Li Yuan thought to himself, "If I can activate the third Spirituality Guidance, there's a high possibility that I can awaken the eighth Star Pulse during the Origin Warrior stage."
Relying solely on himself, Li Yuan was confident that he could break through to the seventh Star Pulse, but achieving the eighth would be difficult. He feared that he might have to wait until the Skysoar Rank or even the Demi-Deity Rank to have a chance.
In the past, Li Yuan had merely set his goal on awakening the eighth Star Pulse.
However, after meeting Chou Bingzun and witnessing the vastness of the world, he fully understood the significance of the eighth Star Pulse, and his desire for it intensified.
"Perhaps I can first awaken the seventh Star Pulse, and then during the Skysoar Rank or Demi-Deity Rank, I can further awaken the eighth." Li Yuan thought, "But the sooner I can break through, the better."
If he could awaken the eighth Star Pulse early on, then during the Skysoar Rank and Demi-Deity Rank, he could strive to make each Star Pulse even more powerful.
Having eight Star Pulses was already considered an ultimate genius in a vast Divine Realm filled with countless powerful beings.
What level of genius would one be if they had eight Star Pulses, along with four or even five perfect Star Pulses?
"Let's go!"
"It's time to take action." With a thought, Li Yuan used his access to directly open the meditation room.
Whoosh!
He transformed into a streak of light, traveling along the metal corridor towards the trial grounds where Xue Yan was located.
"It's not far, I can get there in six minutes." Li Yuan was well aware of Xue Yan's exact location.
...
In the inner layer of the Mother Ship, within an enormous secret chamber.
"This trial is so difficult!" Xue Yan, clad in black, stared at the distant massive stone wall, which was adorned with numerous mystic rune markings that converged to form various patterns.
In front of Xue Yan, similar seal patterns were being condensed using Primordial Energy.
"With my high-level Essence Understanding skills, even condensing this Divine Seal is so challenging. I wonder what's hidden in the core area of the inner layer, making the trials so difficult?" Xue Yan furrowed his brows.
It had been over five months since he entered the Mother Ship, and he was growing increasingly anxious.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
He could either give up or continue to persevere.
"Calm down and keep trying."
"This core area of the inner layer might contain a treasure left behind by a True Deity. In the history of the Thousand Demon Civilization, only one True Deity was born, but the legacy he left behind allowed the entire civilization to produce Ethereal Deities generation after generation, becoming one of the most powerful civilizations in the Dimensional Realm..." Xue Yan thought to himself, "The treasure left by a True Deity is unimaginable."
As an inner disciple of a deity, even if he was just a second-generation disciple, his vision was extraordinary.
"Boom!" The door to the secret room suddenly opened.
"Hmm?"
Xue Yan was puzzled and turned around to see who was there. Behind the door stood a figure clad in black battle armor, their face obscured.
Only a pair of eyes stared coldly at him.
"Tier Three? How can there be such a powerful aura?" Xue Yan was startled and immediately stood up, looking at Li Yuan with caution.
Although Li Yuan's body was at level 30, there was no Primordial Energy Dan in his sea of Primordial Energy... Condensing a Primordial Energy Dan would create a special force field and aura, which was the mark of a Tier Four cultivator.
"Who are you?" Xue Yan asked, staring at Li Yuan with vigilance.
The situation was too sudden. He was still in the middle of receiving the heritage, and according to what the Alien God had said earlier, he shouldn't have been disturbed before the time was up... Xue Yan was completely bewildered.
Boom!
Li Yuan took action, and in an instant, his body had transformed to a height of five meters.
He had directly unleashed the Star Art of Body Refinement with full force!
"Oh no." Xue Yan's expression changed, and he also burst into action. Li Yuan didn't even bother to use the Black Heaven Spear, rushing towards Xue Yan and slapping him with one palm. It was too fast, and before Xue Yan, a 'Divine Child-level genius', could react, he was hit and sent flying into the distant metal wall.
"Bang!!" Xue Yan slammed into the metal wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
With just one palm strike, Xue Yan had suffered a severe injury.
His eyes widened in fear as he stared at the cold, war god-like figure standing not far away.
"Who... who are you?" Xue Yan asked in a low voice, his eyes filled with fear.
He felt that the other party wasn't there to kill him; otherwise, he would have been dead after that palm strike.
Suddenly, Xue Yan seemed to realize something and exclaimed, "Are you the Spirit Lance of the Seven Star Civilization? Have you obtained the treasure of the Serpent God?"
In that moment, Xue Yan could only think of this one possibility.
"No need for more questions."
"I'll only ask you one thing." Li Yuan's voice was icy. "Will you submit to me?"
"If you don't submit, you will die!"
