Chapter 339: Multiverse Commerce Guild! Tearing the Soul

Flying Star, a mysterious place where the sky was dim, and beneath was an immense dark ocean.

The seawater was entirely black, unfathomably deep.

Two figures stood in the void.

"Master, what's wrong?" Fang Hai, dressed in black, looked towards the distant Eastern Extremity.

If Li Yuan were here, he would surely sense that Fang Hai's aura had undergone significant changes compared to the past.

If the past Fang Hai was reserved and profound, occasionally revealing a sharp edge.

Now, he was like a deep abyss, becoming unfathomable.

"Li Yuan just sent a message asking if he could exchange a large quantity of fourth-rank soul restoration artifacts," said Eastern Extremity, dressed in a blue robe, with a smile, "He wants to exchange 100 pieces."

"100 pieces? That's a lot. Even the entire Seventh Star Treasury doesn't have that many," Fang Hai frowned.

"Should I go and persuade him?" Fang Hai shook his head, "If he does this, other Demigods and Flying Heaven-ranked individuals probably won't have soul-class artifacts to cultivate with."

In Fang Hai's opinion, even if Li Yuan had enough Seventh Star credits, he shouldn't be so willful.

He should consider the overall situation.

"No need."

"He directly contacted me and didn't bother Three Leaves, probably because he wanted to ask if I could exchange them," Eastern Extremity smiled, "He previously risked his life and made significant contributions to our civilization... A fair exchange should not disappoint him."

"I've already sent a Yun Pu to prepare."

"A few hundred fourth-rank soul artifacts, I can still afford them," Eastern Extremity said calmly.

Fang Hai's pupils contracted slightly, feeling slightly surprised.

A fourth-rank soul restoration artifact usually costs around 1,000 to 2,000 credits... One hundred of them would be several hundred thousand Seventh Star credits.

However, artifacts aren't calculated this way. Logically, a certain number of fourth-rank soul restoration artifacts are always limited, and it's impossible for a powerful individual to exchange an unlimited quantity.

Unless there's a stable supply channel.

But in the entire Dimensional Realm, which party can provide a stable supply of fourth-rank soul artifacts? Even the Immortal Civilization can't do it.

In an instant, Fang Hai thought of many possibilities.

"Don't worry. Once you pass the Seventh Mountain, many things will become clear... By then, the Seventh Star Civilization will also understand," Eastern Extremity shook his head with a smile, "Wait until you've conquered the Ninth Leaf and reached the Demi-Deity rank, then return."

"Yes, Master," Fang Hai nodded, no longer pursuing the source of the artifacts, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why does Li Yuan need so many fourth-rank artifacts? What is he planning?"

"He says he wants to impact the Demi-Deity soul and awaken the Seventh Star Meridian," Eastern Extremity explained, "According to the Divine Temple's perception, his gun technique was already comparable to a Demigod half a year ago. It's much faster than you were back then."

Fang Hai's pupils contracted slightly.

"It's only been three years since the Ming Xu Star Realm War. Has his gun technique transformed again? Indeed, it's much faster than me," Fang Hai sighed, "When I was nearly forty, my True Essence comprehension only reached the Demi-Deity standard."

"It took over a decade, and with the Nine Leaf World's opportunity, I finally crossed the Law threshold."

"Li Yuan is indeed stronger than me," Fang Hai acknowledged.

"There's no need to compare. Everyone has different talents and opportunities," Eastern Extremity said calmly, "Before him, you were the rare genius of our Seventh Star Civilization."

"It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, Master," Fang Hai said solemnly.

He was very grateful to his master, and he also understood that without his master's guidance, he wouldn't be where he is today.

"Master, does Li Yuan have a chance to awaken the Seventh Star Meridian as an Origin Warrior?" Fang Hai asked in confusion, "Is relying on these fourth-rank artifacts enough?"

"It's not enough," Eastern Extremity shook his head, "Awakening the Seventh Star Meridian isn't that easy."

"His body is too weak. To achieve a Demi-Deity rank soul... Even with external support, fifth-rank artifacts aren't sufficient."

"Sixth-rank artifacts? I can't provide those, and even if I could, his soul and body wouldn't be able to handle it," Eastern Extremity explained.

Fang Hai nodded in agreement.

Artifacts also require the user to be strong enough to bring out their full potential.

Otherwise, they might even be harmful.

"With two True Deity Heritage guides, he won't go astray... But how far he can go depends on himself," Eastern Extremity looked at Fang Hai, "Don't worry about him. From now on, you need to focus on yourself."

"I look forward to the day you conquer the Ninth Leaf, achieve Demi-Deity rank, and finally return after passing the Seventh Mountain." Eastern Extremity's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Master."

"Disciple, I will do my best," Fang Hai said, bowing deeply. He no longer hesitated.

Whoosh!

He transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the pitch-black seawater... Deep within this ocean was the entrance to the Nine Leaf World.

In the void, Eastern Extremity gazed at the dark seawater, lost in thought for a moment.

"I hope he succeeds," Eastern Extremity sighed.

He had high expectations for Li Yuan, but in terms of cultivation, he took a hands-off approach, allowing Li Yuan to cultivate on his own.

However, Fang Hai had deep emotions for his master, as he was a direct disciple who had been cultivated for several decades.

Eastern Extremity had invested the most effort in Fang Hai.

"Master, I've contacted the Multiverse Commerce Guild's Fang Yao Shen Ming," a deep voice sounded beside Eastern Extremity, "In three days, the related artifacts will be delivered to 'Cobalt Star'."

"Okay, go and arrange to receive them," Eastern Extremity said softly, "From now on, whatever Li Yuan wants, as long as he has enough Seventh Star credits to exchange... Get it for him."

"I can't cultivate him like a Heaven God, but the basic cultivation conditions should be provided."

"Yes, Master," the deep voice replied.

...

Three days later.

"Li Yuan, the items have arrived. Confirm them in the Virtual Network," Duan Mu Hong, dressed in white, smiled, "What did you buy this time? This batch was sent by Three Leaves Demigod, and it's probably very precious."

"Yes, it's 100 portions of fourth-rank soul restoration artifacts in total, including the batch from the day before," Li Yuan said with a smile as he received the artifacts from Duan Mu Hong.

He could sense various treasures stored within the artifacts, some were elixirs, some were jade-like, and some even resembled withered wood.

Mysterious and bizarre.

"Alliance Leader, this is truly impressive." Li Yuan was amazed, "To have gathered so many different types of Tier 4 artifacts..." Many of these treasures had never appeared in the Seventh Star Treasury.

Li Yuan hadn't expected the Alliance Leader to truly acquire them... In the end, he had underestimated the leader.

"There must be a secret within the civilization!" Li Yuan recalled his previous cultivation of the 'All-Being Divine Body' technique.

Dong Fang Ji had also acquired a large number of treasures within a few days.

"It was a coincidence once."

"Twice?"

"So many rare and precious treasures, all gathered in one place, it's impossible for them to be produced within the civilization." Li Yuan thought to himself, "Most likely, the Alliance Leader has a channel to obtain a vast amount of treasures."

This channel, for the entire Seventh Star Civilization, was undoubtedly of great significance.

"That's good."

"To obtain these 100 Tier 4 artifacts, it will cost 300,000 Seventh Star Credits." Li Yuan thought, "I hope it can help me."

"As long as I succeed."

"Spending millions of Seventh Star Credits is worth it."

Huff!

Li Yuan's mind stirred, and a fruit that was entirely red and emitted a strange glow flew out.

In an instant, Li Yuan took it into his mouth.

He closed his eyes.

Boom! Most of Li Yuan's psychic consciousness surged into the first level of the Mind Palace, the Great Sun Jade Platform.

He found himself in a vast starry sky.

At the edge of the starry sky, there was a dazzling and infinite Great Sun, its radiance enveloping the void and falling upon Li Yuan's body.

In the past, when his psychic power was only at the low teens, facing this radiance, Li Yuan would have felt pain.

But now?

"Every time I come here, I feel comfortable." Li Yuan's psychic consciousness felt warm and soothing.

Huff!

Li Yuan's consciousness rapidly approached the Great Sun, and the originally comfortable sunlight quickly became scorching, followed by a burning pain.

The closer he got, the more terrifying the Great Sun's radiance became, and the oppressive power it emitted grew stronger.

Time passed.

In Li Yuan's vision, the Great Sun had already obscured half of the heavens... They were now very close to each other.

"Even my soul feels like it's being scorched." A trace of pain appeared on Li Yuan's face.

Over the past few years, Li Yuan had spent most of his cultivation time in this area while practicing the Meditation Method.

With Li Yuan's Demi-Deity level willpower, he still felt pain... But it wasn't enough to truly threaten him.

"Not enough!"

"If I cultivate normally, staying here and meditating on the Great Sun is sufficient. But if I want to break through my limits..."

"Then I must get closer." A glint of determination flashed in Li Yuan's eyes.

Boom!

Li Yuan continued to approach, and the pain of his soul being scorched intensified.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and persevered, moving forward relentlessly.

"Sizzle~" The terrifying radiance of the Great Sun, even through the surface, began to directly harm Li Yuan's soul, causing him excruciating pain as if his soul was being torn apart.

Pain! Intense agony!

"I've reached my limit." Li Yuan's soul trembled, and even his body was subtly affected, shaking.

With a thought, Li Yuan began to circulate the 'Great Sun Sky Scripture'.

Whoosh~ In the starry sky on the other side of the void, there was a faint trace of strange power, weaving through the void and permeating into Li Yuan's consciousness, continuously alleviating the pain and healing the damage to his soul.

But this relief was far from enough.

"Crack~" Li Yuan immediately consumed the Tier 4 fruit.

Quickly, the fruit's effect took hold, and strands of strange power permeated Li Yuan's mental world, beginning to heal his soul's injuries.

"Continue!"

"Temper the mind, temper the will!" Li Yuan endured the pain, "My physical body is too weak, so I can't rely on it to nurture a Demi-Deity rank soul or use external aids. It's just not feasible."

"Then, I can only find a way to transform my soul from within."

"Meditation Method!"

"The oppression of the Great Sun."

"After cultivating the Meditation Method for seven years, although I've been diligent, each time I reach my psychic power's limit, I feel pain."

"So I must get closer." Li Yuan's eyes flashed with determination.

Boom!

Li Yuan continued to approach, and the pain of his soul being scorched intensified.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and persisted, moving forward relentlessly.

"Sizzle~" The terrifying radiance of the Great Sun, even through the surface, began to directly harm Li Yuan's soul, causing him excruciating pain as if his soul was being torn apart.

With a thought, Li Yuan began to circulate the 'Great Sun Sky Scripture'.

Gradually, Li Yuan started to adapt, and his willpower, under such intense tempering, rose. His soul, under the daily pressure, finally began its metamorphosis.

One month, two months... After consuming 100 Tier 4 soul artifacts, Li Yuan obtained another batch.

He continued his cultivation.

Gradually, Li Yuan began to adapt, and his willpower, under such intense tempering, rose. His soul, under the daily pressure, finally began its metamorphosis.
