Chapter 408: Breakthrough! The Senior Brother Arrives?
Chapter 408: Breakthrough! The Senior Brother Arrives?
The passage was quite spacious, at least ten times wider than the void corridors Li Yuan had experienced before.
"Without my guidance, you would have faced numerous obstacles to traverse this corridor," the black-robed elder said. "Of course, with your strength, passing through the corridor wouldn't be a problem... so there's no need to waste time."
After flying for a while, a bright light suddenly appeared ahead, revealing an even more vast expanse of land. There were undulating mountain ranges and a huge crystal lake. The sky above the mountains was filled with clouds and mist.
At first glance, it looked like a fairyland.
On the edge of the lake, there was a seemingly ordinary wooden house, and under a big tree beside it, a tall figure clad in crimson battle armor sat cross-legged.
He had short red hair, a resolute face, and his eyes were tightly shut. Even while sitting cross-legged, his height exceeded two meters, and his sturdy body exuded a powerful and fierce aura.
Hoo!
The black-robed elder landed on the grass beside the lake with Li Yuan.
Even before getting close, Li Yuan felt an incredibly terrifying aura from the crimson-armored figure, as if an ant was facing a dragon.
An impossible match!
This represented a life level gap of countless millions.
"The true body?" Li Yuan was shocked.
"Yes," the black-robed elder nodded, his face rarely solemn. "When the Master reached the end of his lifespan, he arranged everything before his death and then sat here."
"These lakes and mountains are the Master's childhood memories of his hometown, but it was destroyed... Later, when the Master became a Celestial Deity and gained the ability to create a small world. He recreated this scene from his memories." The black-robed elder sighed, "Before his death, he just wanted to sit here. Among the ten heritage sites, our site is the most core one."
Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
This Celestial Deity was also a man of sentiment.
"The Master's name is An Chi Celestial God, and he was once renowned and ranked among the top three most powerful beings in this starry sky," the black-robed elder said proudly, looking at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's face was calm (dazed).
An Chi Celestial God?
Never heard of him!
"Forget it, you're only at the Flying Heaven Rank, so it's normal not to have heard of the Master's name. When you become a True Deity in the future, you'll understand," the black-robed elder shook his head helplessly. "Come on, even though you're just an apprenticed disciple, you should still pay your respects."
"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded slightly.
Resisting the terrifying pressure emanating from An Chi Celestial God's body, Li Yuan managed to take a few more steps forward and then respectfully performed a grand salute.
"Master," the black-robed elder stood respectfully beside him and said solemnly, "Another apprenticed disciple has been chosen. This disciple is probably the most outstanding one chosen in tens of thousands of years."
"I hope the Master will open the treasure vault," the black-robed elder said respectfully.
Whoosh~
A wave of invisible energy surged out from An Chi Celestial God's body, and not far away, the wooden house slowly opened.
"Thank you, Master," the black-robed elder bowed respectfully and turned to Li Yuan, "Xu Yuan, stand up. As an apprenticed disciple, you don't need to make a Law Oath... follow me."
Li Yuan stood up respectfully and followed the black-robed elder towards the already open wooden house.
"Senior, what about An Chi Master's physical body?" Li Yuan asked, holding back his curiosity.
An Chi Celestial God gave the impression that he was merely asleep, not like his physical body should have decayed and withered at the end of his lifespan.
"The Master is a Celestial Deity who has comprehended the Laws and has an extremely high understanding of the Law of Space," the black-robed elder said softly. "His physical body is as powerful as a True Divine Artifact, and time can't leave too many marks on it... even after tens of thousands of years, it won't completely decay."
"Only a few tens of thousands of years have passed, so there's no change."
"The body is almost immortal." The black-robed elder seemed to think of something and sighed, "The death of a Celestial Deity doesn't mean the decay of the physical body and soul... it's just that the heavens want you to die, and you must die."
Li Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.
The black-robed elder's words were full of meaning, and the 'heavens want you to die' probably referred to the rules of the heavens.
"This is what the Master said. If you become a Celestial Deity one day, you should understand," the black-robed elder smiled and entered the wooden house.
Li Yuan followed closely behind.
Whoosh~
As he stepped into the wooden house, the space seemed to transform, and Li Yuan found himself in a vast space filled with divine artifacts floating in the starry sky, each emitting a powerful aura.
"So many treasures," Li Yuan held his breath. This was much better than the 'Divine Artifact Chamber' of the Seven-Star Civilization.
In Li Yuan's eyes, the densely packed treasures, aside from the rare ones, were all divine artifacts, and the weakest among them was probably on the same level as his own Celestial Wind Star Vein True Interpretation.
No wonder it was the heritage site of a Celestial Deity.
"This is the apprenticed disciple's treasure vault," the black-robed elder said. "I'll give you twenty thousand Divine Crystals first."
Whoosh! The black-robed elder waved his hand, and a storage artifact landed in front of Li Yuan.
Li Yuan's divine sense saw that the storage artifact contained a massive space filled with Divine Crystals piled up like mountains.
Twenty thousand Divine Crystals!
"If I break through to the Demi-God Realm and cultivate those Ninefold Stellar Techniques, I won't have to worry about lacking Divine Crystals," Li Yuan thought to himself.
After Li Yuan put away the storage artifact, the black-robed elder said, "For the second treasure, you'll have to choose it yourself, three options."
"The first is the Sealing Tower, which has multiple effects, including a war vessel, material defense, sealing, and more. It's an extremely high-quality True Divine Artifact. Even a True Deity at their limit would find it difficult to break free once imprisoned inside."
"Many True Deities can't afford this treasure."
The black-robed elder pointed to a distant light in the starry sky, and a towering tower's shadow appeared, its aura overwhelming and heart-shaking.
"Extremely high-quality," Li Yuan was secretly amazed.
According to Li Yuan's knowledge, even among Ethereal Artifacts, the cheapest ones cost ten to twenty Divine Crystals, and the most special ones could cost tens of thousands.
Some extremely high-quality True Divine Artifacts were so valuable that many True Deities would hesitate to buy them.
"The second treasure is a Soul Treasure. If a True Deity holds it, it's enough to defend against the soul attacks of ordinary Celestial Deities," the black-robed elder said. "It's also extremely rare."
Li Yuan nodded slightly. The more powerful the Soul Treasure, the rarer it was.
All these treasures were so tempting!
It made one's heart burn with desire.
Unfortunately, he couldn't have them.
"The third and final treasure among the top three is the 'Law Mirror'," the black-robed elder said.
"The black-robed elder spoke, "This Law Mirror primarily contains the mysteries of the Space Law and a small portion of insights into the Fire Law... The Law you've comprehended is the Fire Law."
"Fire?" Li Yuan's heart sank slightly, as this was not the Law he was proficient in.
However, the inclusion of the mysteries of the Space Law was already more than enough.
"Have you made your decision?" The black-robed elder looked at Li Yuan.
"Senior, I want the Law Mirror," Li Yuan replied without hesitation.
Realm was the foundation; no matter how powerful a divine artifact was, one needed a sufficiently high level of Law comprehension to utilize it.
"Very well."
"Then, I'll bestow this Law Mirror to you." The black-robed elder wasn't surprised, "Do you want to use it now, or keep it for later?"
"I'll use it now," Li Yuan declared firmly.
Earlier, Gu You had already provided him with detailed information about the 'Law Mirror'.
For such a precious treasure for enlightenment, it was best to use it personally.
Holding it in his hands might attract unwanted attention.
"Alright."
"Then, start your cultivation here." The black-robed elder instructed, "Get ready."
Whoosh!
A streak of light descended from the starry sky, rushing straight towards Li Yuan.
Li Yuan couldn't help but look up, and he saw a mirror quickly appear in his line of sight.
This mirror was incredibly strange, to be precise, it shouldn't be called a mirror, but rather it was smooth like a water droplet. Through it, Li Yuan seemed to sense the vast universe, instantly making him feel lost.
"Huff!" Li Yuan's eyes glazed over, and he sat down cross-legged.
Drip!
A water droplet fell, silently touching Li Yuan's face, and the mirror surface seemed to engulf him like a liquid, and then the mirror began to swallow him... The Law Mirror seemed to transport Li Yuan to another spatial dimension.
"Boom!"
Li Yuan's consciousness was rapidly elevated, and he felt as if he had arrived in a mysterious divine realm.
In the vast and dark void, it seemed like a realm of nothingness.
A man with fiery red hair, wearing crimson war armor, stood there. He seemed like an incarnation of flames, his aura was boundless and endless, and his eyes contained a terrifying power. He scanned the void, seemingly aware of Li Yuan's presence, causing Li Yuan's consciousness to tremble.
"Is this An Chi Celestial God?" Li Yuan wondered.
"I hope you won't disappoint the path I've chosen," An Chi Celestial God's lips moved silently, but Li Yuan understood his meaning.
Whoosh!
An Chi Celestial God's hands were clasped together, raised upwards, and he seemed to be both worshipping and slashing forward with his hands.
Whoosh!
This slash was incredibly powerful, and the entire void began to tremble. A tiny spatial tear appeared, barely visible to the naked eye... This spatial tear extended along the direction of the slash, reaching the edge of the void.
One hundred kilometers!
Three hundred kilometers!
One thousand kilometers!
"Spatial tear!"
"This slash!"
Li Yuan was deeply shocked. He had never imagined that the Space Law could be so powerful, and this slash seemed to convey the idea that 'everything could be cut, but the innocent would be spared'.
Concentrated!
Utterly concentrated! Sharpened to the extreme!
The seemingly tiny spatial tear was so powerful that the surrounding forces of nature were stirred, unable to heal for a long time.
"Boom!"
From within the tiny spatial tear, countless flames surged, filled with vitality, and they began to heal the spatial tear...
Whoosh! The Law Mirror, which had seemed to swallow Li Yuan, suddenly dissipated.
In the void, Li Yuan's figure reappeared, and he was completely immersed in his cultivation.
"I wonder how much this young one will gain," the black-robed elder muttered to himself, "Don't disappoint the master's painstaking efforts."
...Whoosh!
An Chi Celestial God's slash was deeply engraved in Li Yuan's soul, like an innate ability, unable to be severed.
This was the power of the Law Mirror.
Li Yuan's previous inheritances, though seemingly felt firsthand, would become blurry once his consciousness was withdrawn... After all, they were just spiritual inheritances.
But the Law Mirror, in essence, was formed from a part of a divine being's soul, leaving an indelible impression.
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
"Slash!"
"Nothing Untouchable!" Li Yuan felt that the mysteries of the Space Law that he had previously struggled to comprehend, the confusions he had about the fourth style 'Shatter Long Sky' of the 'Boundary Cloud Spear', were all resolved in this moment, and countless insights flashed through his mind.
He was completely immersed in his cultivation.
Unconsciously, Li Yuan used his fingers as a spear, and he stabbed forward repeatedly.
Slash and stab, both requiring the same momentum, the same sharpness, and the same unstoppable force!
Whoosh!
Another finger stabbed out, incredibly fast, and the stable space began to ripple slightly.
"Spatial ripples?" The black-robed elder's eyes lit up.
"Flying Heaven Realm, Ethereal Deity Level spear technique?" The black-armored figure was increasingly surprised.
