Chapter 372: Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 372: Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth

It is said that the red aura nourishes one's body, and after all these years, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui's physical qualities and temperament have far surpassed what they were a decade ago. However, they are still amazed by Li Yuan's current achievements.

They, too, were quite excited and happy.

After the meal.

"Uncle, Auntie," Li Yuan smiled and said, "From now on, for the next few years, I'll be staying at Kunlun Martial University, serving as its president."

"President of Kunlun Martial University?" Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, on the other hand, found it quite normal.

If he could take on the role of the Azure Star Overlord, being a university president was a small matter.

"On this trip back, I've also brought some gifts for you, Uncle and Auntie." As Li Yuan spoke, he waved his hand, and two streams of light flew out, resembling liquid, eventually forming two figures with the exact same appearance as humans.

"Master," the two liquid robots respectfully said.

Li Changzhou and Chen Hui were left dumbfounded. This type of robot had yet to be seen on the current Blue Planet, let alone being sold.

"Uncle, these two liquid robots possess the strength of 30th-level Flying Heaven Warriors," Li Yuan said, "I've already imprinted your auras on them... From now on, they will only listen to your commands, and if you leave Kunlun Martial University, they will also provide close protection."

"Flying Heaven Warrior strength?" Li Changzhou was shocked. He himself was currently a 20th-level Origin Warrior, and he understood the significance of such power.

"Xiao Yuan, how much did this cost?" Chen Hui couldn't help but ask.

"Money?" Li Yuan smiled.

To him, money held no meaning. These two Flying Heaven-level robots were obtained from the Seven-Star Treasury, and only First Rank Star Lords and above were qualified to exchange for them, with a limited quantity available... Each robot required 20,000 Seven-Star Credits, even more expensive than Demi-Artifacts.

This type of robot was rarely seen in the entire civilization, and it had many flaws. For example, it only possessed pure strength, and its various supporting abilities were far inferior to those of a true Flying Heaven Warrior. It also required a Divine Crystal as its energy source... Usually, some Demigods would exchange for them to protect their close relatives or some young geniuses.

Some special and important places would also have this type of robot stationed.

"Auntie, money holds no significance for me now. Even if you offered 500 billion or 100 billion Blue Planet coins, you still couldn't buy this kind of robot." Li Yuan smiled and said, "Additionally, I've also arranged a cultivation plan for you and prepared some cultivation treasures... From now on, these two robots will regularly check your bodies, then provide you with treasures to consume, urging you to cultivate."

"Cultivate martial arts?" Chen Hui shook her head and said, "Xiao Yuan, becoming an Origin Warrior requires Fourth Stage skill... My current physical quality is only at the 20th level, so I'm afraid there's no hope. Don't waste resources on me."

"Auntie."

"Rest assured." Li Yuan smiled and said, "As long as you put in some effort, I dare not say you'll become a Flying Heaven Warrior, but becoming an Origin Warrior shouldn't be difficult."

The cultivation treasures Li Yuan obtained from the Seven-Star Treasury were mainly for enhancing the soul realm.

Once the soul realm was raised, cultivating martial arts skills would naturally become easier.

"Even becoming a Flying Heaven Warrior shouldn't be difficult," Li Yuan smiled.

"But..." Chen Hui wanted to say something else.

"No 'buts'," Li Changzhou interrupted her with a smile, "Just follow Xiao Yuan's arrangements, and we'll do as he says."

Chen Hui nodded and remained silent.

"Xiao Yuan, should we inform Mu Hua and Qianqian about your return?" Li Changzhou asked.

Li Changzhou's mindset shifted quickly.

After understanding Li Yuan's status, he realized that anything involving Li Yuan was no small matter.

In terms of power, Li Yuan's influence far surpassed that of some ancient emperors. Li Yuan himself was the source of power, and Li Changzhou's judgment was spot on.

"Sure," Li Yuan said after a moment's thought, "If Mu Hua and Qianqian have time, they can come back for a visit. It's been a long time since I last saw them."

"Right, let Mu Hua bring his siblings along. I wasn't able to attend his wedding, so this time, I'll prepare a gift for them." Li Yuan smiled.

"Okay," Li Changzhou replied.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "Uncle, I need to step out for a moment. Dean Hai has come, and he's probably looking for me."

"Sure, go ahead," Li Changzhou said.

As Li Yuan left, the two robots remained standing silently by the side, their heads lowered.

"Wife," Li Changzhou said softly, "How can we cultivate martial arts? Xiao Yuan must have made the arrangements. We'll just follow his plan and work hard in our cultivation."

"But I have no talent for martial arts," Chen Hui shook her head, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint Xiao Yuan's expectations and waste the treasures... I'm not stupid. For someone like me to become an Origin Warrior, or even a Flying Heaven Warrior, the value of the treasures he's providing is simply unimaginable."

Chen Hui, a graduate student, had strong analytical abilities.

With just a little analysis, she understood the immense cost of Li Yuan's offerings.

"Different strengths, different meanings for treasures," Li Changzhou shook his head, "Xiao Yuan, I heard that you can even kill Demigods... Do you know what a Demigod is? Bai Shan, he's a Demigod."

"It's said that Dongfang Ji is also a Demigod."

"Bai Shan? Dongfang Ji?" Chen Hui held her breath, as she was naturally familiar with these two individuals.

"In one sentence."

"Xiao Yuan, with a high probability, is already the strongest in the entire civilization, possibly the current number one on the Blue Planet."

"Li Changzhou said, 'He is our pride, but we must not become his weakness.'"

"Weakness?" Chen Hui was taken aback.

"Why did we move from Jiang City to here?" Li Changzhou sighed. "Isn't it because of Little Yuan's identity being exposed, and we're worried that the other races will use us to threaten him?"

"Now, Little Yuan is even stronger, and more other races are keeping an eye on him. It's said that many other races are much stronger than our Seven Stars Civilization."

"Little Yuan values relationships deeply."

"If we were captured by other races and used to threaten Little Yuan to do something, would he refuse?" Li Changzhou asked.

Chen Hui hadn't thought that far ahead.

"Little Yuan arranged for such powerful robots to protect us. Is he afraid that we'll fall and be chased by dogs when we go out?" Li Changzhou shook his head. "Little Yuan is guarding against other races."

"We must also strive."

"If we can become Flying Heaven Warriors, then won't Little Yuan be more at ease? It's better to be strong ourselves than to rely on others for protection." Li Changzhou smiled at his wife. "Our nephew is destined to become a leader of civilization, and we must not become a burden to him."

Chen Hui couldn't help but agree with her husband's words.

"Furthermore..."

"I heard that Flying Heaven Warriors can live for 500 years." Li Changzhou laughed. "Don't you want that?"

500 years? Chen Hui's heart stirred.

Who wouldn't want immortality?

"But it's so difficult to become a Flying Heaven Warrior." Chen Hui sighed. "I see that even the deans of those academies are only Flying Heaven Warriors."

"It is quite challenging." Li Changzhou smiled. "Anyway, we just need to strive."

...

In the void above Kunlun Martial University.

"Should I address you as Chancellor or Grand Pavilion Master?" Hai Yi felt a bit helpless.

"Haha, Chancellor, you're joking." Li Yuan laughed. "Even if I cultivate to become a deity, I'll still be the student you nurtured. Just call me Li Yuan."

"It's against the rules." Hai Yi shook his head.

"I say it's by the rules, so it's by the rules." Li Yuan smiled, remembering how Chancellor Hai had helped him a lot in the past.

This bond, Li Yuan always kept in mind.

"Alright." Hai Yi nodded, not insisting further. But in his heart, he made a silent resolution to address Li Yuan as Grand Pavilion Master or Overlord in public.

...

"The appointment I received today, was it issued by you?" Hai Yi asked.

"Yes, I need your help." Li Yuan smiled. "I became the Chancellor of Kunlun Martial University to guard the Kunlun Star Realm... To be honest, I'm not familiar with the school's specific affairs."

"My appointment of you wasn't entirely based on my personal preference."

"I've browsed through the school's reports from the past few years, and I feel you've done a great job. The development of the six institutes is also impressive." Li Yuan said, "Your strength is sufficient, and the position of Acting President is vacant... So, I appointed you."

"I understand that this appointment is an additional burden for you." Li Yuan smiled. "As the Acting President, there will be more responsibilities, as I don't want to deal with the school's affairs."

Hai Yi realized the situation.

Of course, Hai Yi knew that being capable didn't necessarily mean he deserved the promotion... There were many suitable candidates for various positions.

Why choose me?

"Chancellor." Li Yuan said, "You helped me a lot back then, and now I'm troubling you again to be the Acting President... I returned to Blue Star in a hurry and didn't prepare any extra gifts."

Whoosh!

Li Yuan waved his hand, and numerous weapons and treasures appeared before Hai Yi.

A total of six items.

"These?" Chancellor Hai's pupils constricted. As a Flying Heaven Warrior, he could sense that these were Demi-Artifacts.

Six Demi-Artifacts.

Before Hai Yi could react, he received another notification... His Seven Stars Treasury account received a transfer of 30,000 Seven Stars Credits from Li Yuan.

"This? Li Yuan, this gift is too..." Chancellor Hai stammered, as the gift indeed exceeded his expectations.

A typical Flying Heaven Warrior might possess wealth and treasures worth a few hundred to a few thousand Seven Stars Credits.

Only a Flying Heaven Apex Warrior might have the hope of accumulating over ten thousand credits of wealth.

"Take it, Chancellor." Li Yuan said, "These gifts are nothing to me."

These Demi-Artifacts were collected by Li Yuan from the over a thousand Flying Heaven Warriors he and Liu Bing had slain.

They were suitable for the recipient.

...

Chancellor Hai accepted Li Yuan's gift, as it was indeed important to him.

The Demi-Artifacts would significantly enhance his strength.

And with 30,000 Seven Stars Credits, he could exchange them for other treasures, such as a Tier Four artifact, which might further his true intent comprehension... A strong cultivator's power depended not only on their abilities but also on their external environment.

...

Time passed.

The news of Li Yuan becoming the 'Overlord of Blue Star' gradually spread throughout the upper echelons of Blue Star.

At the same time, numerous Flying Heaven Warriors on Blue Star received a message that in half a month, the 'Overlord of Blue Star Inauguration Ceremony' would be held in the Virtual Network.

Such ceremonies were typically held in the Virtual Network.

After all, many Demigods and Flying Heaven Warriors had their duties, with some guarding the star world entrances, unable to move freely... Only by holding the ceremony in the Virtual Network could everyone gather.

Night gradually descended upon the Kunlun Martial University, where the winter chill still lingered. High above the school, at an altitude of a kilometer, a massive warship, invisible to the naked eye, hovered silently.

Outside the warship, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the metallic hull, quietly meditating and contemplating. He could sense the subtle fluctuations of energy flowing through the heavens and earth.

"Wind!"

"The melody of the wind," Li Yuan silently sensed. "Ever since I cultivated the 'True Explanation of Heavenly Wind Meridian' to the third-tier pinnacle, I've grasped the true intention of the wind, and it's indeed much faster."

Li Yuan's heart was filled with joy, and his entire being seemed to merge with the melody of the wind.

After receiving the 'Heavenly Wind Spirit' from Qiu Bingzun, which transformed his body, and cultivating the Nine-Level Auxiliary Body Refinement Technique, Li Yuan's talent in the Wind Aspect soared.

"Illusory Body!"

"Swift Speed!"

"Fluctuations!"

"These are the three primary directions of the Law of Wind. Understanding any one of them to the extreme contains infinite profundities and can lead to great achievements." Li Yuan had a realization: "The Thousand Transformation Array Diagram contains over a thousand strands of profound fluctuations, seemingly related to the Illusory Body Aspect. But when these thousand strands combine perfectly, they don't interfere with each other, forming a complete array."

"The Nebula Void Glider contains the 'Extreme Space' secret technique, which pursues extreme speed."

"The 'Domain Cloud Spear' actually incorporates the Illusory Body Aspect, seeking to make the spear techniques ethereal and unpredictable, with endless variations."

The more Li Yuan comprehended, the higher his realm became, and he increasingly understood the saying, 'Laws are originally one.' The various directions of the Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth, the source of laws, were actually interconnected, forming a whole.

"In the past, when I comprehended true intentions, I could focus on the mysteries of the Illusory Body."

"But to step into the threshold of laws, it's best if I absorb the mysteries of other aspects of the Wind Aspect and merge them. This will make it easier to refine the laws." Li Yuan thought, "It's not just beneficial for crossing the threshold of laws..."

"It will also greatly benefit my future comprehension of higher-level law mysteries." Li Yuan's path forward became clear.

The true intention of Earth transformed into the mysteries of the Law of Earth, which he grasped by observing techniques used by other Demigods. This led to his breakthrough.

But enlightenment is a matter of chance, not something that can be sought.

Even with Li Yuan's high level of comprehension, true enlightenment was still a rare occurrence.

Li Yuan couldn't expect enlightenment in the Law of Wind; he could only strive for a breakthrough.

"It won't be long now."

"I should be able to cross the threshold of the Law of Wind soon." Li Yuan had a vague feeling that he was very close to this level.

Huff! Li Yuan's heart moved, and he immediately sensed a vast fluctuation within the heavens and earth.

This fluctuation was far more vast, profound, and majestic than the true intentions of the wind in the heavens and earth.

It was as if it were the beginning of everything.

The origin of all things.

Even with Li Yuan's powerful spirit, when he first sensed this vast fluctuation, his heart trembled.

"The origin of Earth."

"The Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth." Li Yuan knew exactly what he was sensing.

This was one of the origins of this vast heaven and earth.

According to Li Yuan's understanding of the God Realm, 'heaven and earth' didn't refer to this specific world, the mortal realm, or even the God Realm itself... Instead, it referred to all known and unknown worlds.

"The source of all matter."

"The source of all space."

"Everything has its origin, and the origin of all things and spirits is the Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth." Li Yuan delved into the descriptions contained within the heritage crystal.

The Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth represented the ultimate principles and iron laws governing the universe.

False Deities lived for 5,000 years.

Even the mighty Heaven Deities faced death when their time was up... This was the unbreakable law of the heavens and earth's iron law, which no one could defy.

"Even in the God Realm."

"Countless powerful beings seek to comprehend the mysteries of the Primordial Dao, striving to control the heavens and earth." Li Yuan realized, "Only by crossing the threshold of laws can one truly be called a 'cultivator' in the vast God Realm."

Whether it was Demigods, False Deities, or True Gods, they were all on the path of comprehending the Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth... Some delved deeper than others.

"Before crossing the threshold of laws, one comprehends the fluctuations of the operation of all things in the heavens and earth."

"After crossing the threshold of laws, one can faintly sense the origin of heaven and earth." Li Yuan's comprehension grew, and the many confusions he had about the 'Domain Cloud Spear' were gradually being resolved.

All law mysteries could find their answers in the Primordial Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"No wonder those Demigods."

"Once they cross the threshold of laws, their source energy becomes stronger, and they can nurture their souls with the laws." Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Crossing the threshold of laws represented a profound understanding of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

According to Li Yuan's knowledge, many weak civilizations lacked heritage and guidance from elders... Yet, generation after generation, some descendants eventually gave birth to deities.

The most crucial factor was Demigods crossing the threshold of laws while comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth.

"I, today..."

"Must continuously comprehend true intentions and laws."

"Constantly refine and improve."

”

“Then, every so often, continue to awaken life stars.” Li Yuan was clear about what he needed to do.

Serving as the Azure Star Overlord was secondary.

The key was still his own strength.

“I must work hard and not slack off.”

“With the Star Meridians, I have become extremely powerful, even among the top ranks in the God Realm,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “But the growth of skills and the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, the Mind Palace of Gods can’t help me in the slightest… I can only rely on myself.”

“Compared to Bing, I’m a bit slower. Bing’s comprehension of the Law of Wind seems to have reached the high seventh stage. If I were to compare with the world-shaking geniuses in the God Realm, I would have even less of an advantage in terms of law comprehension.” Li Yuan did not feel content with his current achievements.

Bing was a top-tier wind-type divine beast with astonishing talent in the Law of Wind.

However, the God Realm was vast and boundless, with countless lives, and each generation would give birth to some inconceivable prodigies.

Many geniuses’ speed in comprehending laws would even make the Sacred Blood Sky Serpent marvel.

…

Serious cultivation always made time pass quickly.

Before he knew it, it was already 9:50 PM.

Li Yuan had just returned to the battle ship. With a thought, he had already divided a thread of his consciousness to enter the Blue Star Virtual Network.

A Tier Four Battle Ship didn’t need a virtual network pod to directly connect to the virtual network.

In the Blue Star Virtual Network.

A mysterious place, here there was a vast temple, and below it was a blue planet.

Whoosh!

Following his authority, Li Yuan instantly arrived here—the ‘Blue Star Temple.’

“A temple, and below it is the Blue Star.” Li Yuan stood at the temple’s entrance, immediately seeing the blue planet below.

The implication was that the strong ones who could come to this planet were the pillars of strength protecting the entire Blue Star.

“Li Yuan.” A deep voice sounded, and a figure appeared at the end of the corridor.

“White Mountain Senior.” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up, and standing in the distance was an elderly man in white casual clothes.

It was Bai Shan.

“Today, you, the main character, are a bit late.” Bai Shan, the Demigod, smiled.

“Focused on cultivation, I came a bit late.” Li Yuan smiled.

“Oh? Are you about to break through again? When will you reach the peak of Demigod strength?” Bai Shan, the Demigod, teased: “When that happens, you could crush this old man with a wave of your hand.”

“Senior, you jest.” Li Yuan shook his head.

Peak Demigod strength? How easy is that to achieve?

“I’ve heard about your battle achievements on Lantie Star, you fought three at once, and even when trapped by a Source Energy Array.” Bai Shan, the Demigod, smiled: “If it were me, I wouldn’t be confident in escaping unharmed.”

“Your strength is likely already greater than mine.”

Li Yuan smiled. According to what he knew, Bai Shan, the Demigod, was level 44. Although he had cultivated for several hundred years, his law comprehension was still at the initial seventh stage… his strength had been at a bottleneck for a long time.

However, Bai Shan, the Demigod, had several sacred artifacts, making his overall strength quite terrifying.

“Today is the Demigod Meeting.”

“However, before the meeting, I called the heads of the Starfire Martial Hall here.” Bai Shan, the Demigod, said: “From now on, it will be handed over to you.”

Soon.

At Bai Shan, the Demigod’s invitation, several figures appeared, then all respectfully bowed: “Greetings, Demigod.”

“Li Yuan, let me introduce them to you.”

“This is Yue Hui, Third Rank Star Sovereign.” Bai Shan, the Demigod, said: “This is Ceska, Third Rank Star Sovereign.”

“This is Yu Ni, Third Rank Star Sovereign.”

“Greetings, Grand Pavilion Master.” Yue Hui, Ceska, and Yu Ni, the three Star Sovereigns, all respectfully greeted.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

To become a Third Rank Star sovereign, one had to be either level 36 or have extremely strong strength at level 35.

In short, they were all extraordinary and wouldn’t be worse than Duanmu Hong.

However, for the current Li Yuan, this level of strength wasn’t much to speak of.

“Li Yuan, the Starfire Martial Hall on Blue Star has nearly two thousand registered Flying Heaven Warriors,” Bai Shan, the Demigod, said: “They are scattered across various star realms and countries… basically, all are arranged by the three Star Sovereigns.”

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

According to what he knew, the Starfire Martial Hall on Blue star had nearly ten Flying Heaven Warriors with ‘Third Rank Star Sovereign’ status.

And the three before him were, in fact, the ‘Deputy Grand Pavilion Masters,’ responsible for assisting him in managing the entire Blue Star’s Starfire Martial Hall.

“After Fang Hai resigned, I have been in charge for these few years,” Bai Shan, the Demigod, smiled: “Now that you’re back, these matters will be handed over to you. I’ll go to the Demigod meeting room to wait for you. You can chat with them yourself.”

“Alright.” Li Yuan nodded.

Bai Shan, the demigod, directly entered the distant conference hall.

“Everyone,” Li Yuan looked at the three Star Sovereigns: “You should be clear that in addition to serving as the Starfire Bluesky Grand Pavilion Master, I am also the Azure Star Overlord… therefore, most of the Starfire martial hall’s affairs will be handed over to you.”

“As long as it’s not a major issue, I won’t interfere,” Li Yuan said.

The three Star Sovereigns all felt relieved.

“Only one point.” Li Yuan said in a deep voice: “Regarding planetary defense and monitoring various star realms, it must be treated with the utmost caution, and not be taken lightly. I do not wish for incidents like those on Lantie Star to happen again.”

“Yes.” Yue Hui and the others all felt their hearts tighten, understanding what aspect of work the new Grand Pavilion Master valued.
