Chapter 409: Jiang Yuan, the True God

Chapter 409: Jiang Yuan, the True God

Whether it was the black-robed elder known as 'Fog Elder' or the figure in black armor, their vision and understanding were exceptional, and they knew the significance of a move that could cause ripples in space.

This indicated that the move had penetrated the surface of the world and touched upon the true spatial fluctuations.

It was undoubtedly a technique of the Ethereal Deity level.

"This move primarily focuses on the mysteries of space, with the Earth and Wind Laws as supplementary elements. It's quite ingenious."

"My junior brother is only at the Flying Heaven Rank, yet he can perceive the mysteries of space. His talent is truly unimaginable." The figure in black armor spoke softly, "Fog Elder, are you sure that the teacher left behind the Law Mirror instead of the Law River?"

"How could I possibly deceive you?"

"The Law River represents a complete understanding of the Law's path. Even someone as powerful as the Master only left behind three copies, and you obtained one of them." The black-robed elder explained.

"The Apprentice Disciple's Treasure Vault."

"It's already rare to leave behind a Law Mirror; how could he have left the Law River?" The black-robed elder said.

The figure in black armor nodded slightly.

A Sky Divine Being, if killed by an enemy, would naturally not have their soul transform into a Law River or a Law Mirror. Even with careful preparation before death, a Law Mirror would leave behind at most a few dozen copies.

The number is still scarce.

The effect is excellent, but it shouldn't be this good, which can only mean... the user has an extremely high talent.

"The Star Meridian talent is extraordinary."

"The Law talent is also incredibly strong, and the soul is almost at the Ethereal Deity level..." The figure in black armor frowned slightly, "Where did he come from? I've never heard of him."

As the master of a Divine Kingdom and a high-ranking member of the Star City, his vision and knowledge were vast, and he had access to even more information.

Logically!

A Flying Heaven Rank like this should have been discovered long ago and would be considered a top-tier genius in any Divine Kingdom.

"How did he appear in the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern?" The figure in black armor wondered silently, as various thoughts flashed through his mind.

But he remained calm and continued to observe.

...

In the starry world, Li Yuan sat in meditation, constantly calming his mind and pondering the mysteries of An Chi Celestial God's palm strike.

It was too shocking.

The perception was incredibly clear.

Through repeated imitation, Li Yuan felt that his understanding of the mysteries of space was constantly breaking through.

Eventually, he naturally demonstrated the fourth style of the Boundary Cloud Spear, 'Shatter Long Sky'.

With this realization, Li Yuan's understanding of the profundities of the move was comparable to that of an early-stage Ethereal Deity expert.

This breakthrough in realm was enough to significantly enhance Li Yuan's strength.

"The application of the Space Law in this palm strike is vast and unfathomable. It should fall under the category of 'Space Slice' and is an extreme pursuit of destruction." Li Yuan's heart raced with excitement.

Whether it was pondering the Earth Law or the Wind Law, Li Yuan always had many references and guidance to rely on.

However, pondering the mysteries of space was extremely difficult, and Li Yuan had been groping in the dark on his own in the past.

After all, even Master Chu Bing, who pondered the Space Law, only reached the level of 'Space True Intention', and did not truly cross the threshold of the Space Law... One can imagine the difficulty of the path of space.

"Space Law."

"Just like the seven fundamental laws, it is divided into many directions, such as Space Slice, World, Boundaryless Realm, and more." Li Yuan sighed inwardly, "Each direction has its own focus. It is said that if one masters Space Slice to the extreme, a single move can cross billions of miles in an instant to kill an enemy, and everything in its path can be sliced.

"The World direction can make one's domain as vast as a world, encompassing everything."

"The Boundaryless Realm direction can penetrate all things and enter higher dimensions. It is far superior to some of the Wind System's escape techniques. When cultivated to a profound level, it can even enable instantaneous movement, allowing one to cross vast star domains with a single thought. This is also the reason why Sky Divine Beings are able to construct teleportation arrays."

"The Spatial Object direction..."

...Li Yuan had known about these general pieces of information in the past, but mere knowledge without practical application was insufficient for true comprehension.

Until today.

Using the Law Mirror, Li Yuan opened the door to a new world, witnessing the power of the Space Law and further clarifying his path.

"Space Slice."

"Now, with the guidance of An Chi Celestial God's Law Mirror, I will devote all my efforts to comprehending Space Slice." Li Yuan's heart was filled with reverence; if he was going to learn, he would learn from the strongest.

Time passed.

The profound effects of the Law Mirror gradually faded, and the multitude of insights in Li Yuan's mind also dissipated.

"The most precious first attempt is gone."

"If I ponder it again in the future, the efficiency will likely be less than a tenth of this time." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

The Law Mirror was integrated into the soul, and the first attempt always yielded the best results; subsequent attempts would be less effective.

"According to the information Gu You gave me."

"Over time, the power contained within the Law Mirror slowly dissipates. Even without use, it will eventually disappear completely. Each time I ponder it, I consume its power." Li Yuan explained.

Therefore, after using the Law Mirror, it is best to revisit it at regular intervals.

"It is an external object, an aid to cultivation, but it cannot replace my own efforts. The reason why my first attempt yielded such remarkable results is also because, for the past few years, I have been wholeheartedly researching the mysteries of space, practicing the Boundary Cloud Spear, and accumulating numerous doubts."

It's like a teacher giving a lecture.

Only when students review the material beforehand and have questions will the teacher's lecture be most effective.

At this thought, Li Yuan's mind moved, and he sensed the Divine Palace interface:

[Skill Proficiency: Earth Law (7th Stage, Initial Stage), Wind Law (7th Stage, Initial Stage), Space Mystery (7th Stage, 62%), Fire True Intention (6th Stage, Initial Stage), Water Mystery (5th Stage, 99%), Wood Mystery (5th Stage, 99%), Metal Mystery (5th Stage, 88%), Thunder Mystery (5th Stage, 12%)]



"The progress in Space Mystery is indeed remarkable, already equivalent to the high-stage of the 7th Stage." Li Yuan thought, "Currently, my progress in space is indeed far beyond that of the Earth and Wind Meridians."

Li Yuan himself had not expected his comprehension of the Space Mystery to be so rapid.

"The Fire Meridian, and I've unknowingly condensed its True Intention." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

An Chi Celestial God had mastered the complete Fire Law, and the Law Mirror condensed by his soul naturally contained profound insights into the Fire Law.

Even though Li Yuan wasn't particularly skilled in the Fire Meridian, he had unknowingly been influenced and made significant progress.

A single path leads to the ultimate truth.

Super powerful beings, in addition to the path they've comprehended, often have insights into other Laws as well.

...

"Hmm!" Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and looked towards the black-robed elder not far away.

"Hmm?"

Only then did Li Yuan realize, to his shock, that a figure in black armor was standing beside the black-robed elder, his aura domineering and subtly enveloping the surrounding starry sky.

"I didn't sense him at all just now," Li Yuan thought in surprise. "When I wasn't looking at him, I couldn't feel his presence, but as soon as I looked towards him, I felt his terrifying aura... What kind of method is this?"

With just a glance, Li Yuan understood.

This figure in black armor was undoubtedly the strongest person he had ever encountered in his life, even surpassing the Eastern Alliance Lord.

"A True Deity."

"Li Yuan, this is a True Deity, and his strength is likely at the extreme level," Gu You's voice suddenly sounded. "He appeared just now, but I saw no ill intent from him, and since you were in secluded cultivation, I didn't disturb you."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

Whoosh! Li Yuan took a step forward and quickly arrived in front of the black-robed elder, bowing respectfully, "Thank you, Senior."

"There's no need to thank me. As the master's apprenticed disciple, it's only right that you receive some treasures," the black-robed elder said with a smile. "Do you remember that I mentioned having some secrets I didn't tell you before?"

"Now that you've become the master's apprenticed disciple, you have the right to know."

"The person before you is the master's direct disciple and also the senior brother of your lineage," the black-robed elder introduced. "Jiang Yuan True Deity."

Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat. As expected!

"Xu Yuan, greetings, Senior Brother," Li Yuan bowed.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's heart stirred. "Wait, Jiang Yuan True Deity? He's also surnamed Jiang?"

A coincidence?

"Mist Elder sent me a message, saying that a powerful junior brother has appeared in the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern," Jiang Yuan True Deity revealed a faint smile. "So, I came all the way from the Capital City."

"I noticed you right away, and for Mist Elder to praise you, you must have extraordinary talents."

"It's rare for a Flying Heaven Realm cultivator to control Demigod Rank techniques," Jiang Yuan True Deity smiled. "Xu Yuan Junior Brother, you are exceptional. In the entire Star Perception Continent, among the three great star cities, six holy lands, and three thousand divine kingdoms, you are likely among the top-tier Flying Heaven Realm cultivators."

"Senior Brother is too kind," Li Yuan said.

"I'm not exaggerating," Jiang Yuan True Deity shook his head. "If you only controlled Demigod Rank techniques, it's true that you wouldn't be considered top-tier."

"But being in the Flying Heaven Realm and awakening an Eight-Star Meridian, coupled with your soul's strength nearing the Ethereal Deity Level and your age, you're probably not even forty years old..." Jiang Yuan True Deity said. "Even if I say you have the top innate talent among Flying Heaven Realm cultivators in the Star Perception Continent, you can still compete for the top spot."

Li Yuan's expression remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

This Jiang Yuan True Deity, having just met him, had seen through him so clearly!

"An Eight-Star Meridian?"

"Xu Yuan, you're an Eight-Star Meridian?" Mist Elder was taken aback. "I thought you were just a Seven-Star Meridian. You're an Eight-Star Meridian, this..."

"Doesn't that mean you have the potential to reach Nine-Star Meridian in the future?" Mist Elder's eyes shone with anticipation.

A Seven-Star Meridian and an Eight-Star Meridian, seemingly just one star apart, but the difference is like heaven and earth.

The former is common on the Star Perception Continent.

In the Abyss Kingdom, there are Demi-God Realm cultivators with Seven-Star Meridians. Across the entire Star Perception Continent, there are many.

Cultivators with Eight-Star Meridians are much rarer.

As for Nine-Star Meridians, they are the legends of the Star Perception Continent!

"Tsk tsk, you've hidden your strength well. You almost fooled this old man," Mist Elder smiled. "Unfortunately, you still couldn't escape the eyes of Jiang Yuan True Deity. Among the numerous True Deities on the Star Perception Continent, he's ranked within the top three. He's an absolute powerhouse at the True Deity Limit."

True Deity Limit?

Li Yuan was surprised and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yuan True Deity again.

According to Li Yuan's knowledge, when Master Chu Bing was alive, he was at the True Deity Limit, which was why he had the qualifications to be called a Venerable in the Celestial Serpent Clan.

"Is An Chi Celestial God's direct disciple at the True Deity Limit?" Li Yuan thought to himself. "That's right. To be chosen by a Celestial God, his innate talent must be extraordinary. It's not surprising that after more than ten thousand years, he possesses the strength of the True Deity Limit."

At this thought, Li Yuan said, "Mist Elder, Senior Brother, I didn't intend to hide anything."

Although they were nominally 'Senior Brother' and 'Junior Brother', this was their first meeting.

Anything could happen.

In a sense, his life was in the hands of Jiang Yuan True Deity.

"There's no need to be nervous."

"By calling you 'Junior Brother', I acknowledge you," Jiang Yuan True Deity smiled.

Then, he turned to the black-robed elder, "Mist Elder, in that case, I'll take Xu Yuan Junior Brother and leave. I'll notify you if there's anything."

"Hmm, that's fine," the black-robed elder said. "Take good care of Xu Yuan."

"Of course."

"If Xu Yuan Junior Brother can grow, he'll be a great help to me in the future. Perhaps, we brothers will both become Celestial Gods, and that would be a wonderful thing," Jiang Yuan True Deity said. "I'll nurture him with all my heart."

"Let's go, Junior Brother."

Whoosh! Jiang Yuan True Deity headed straight towards the distance.

"If it's a blessing, it won't be a calamity. If it's a calamity, it can't be avoided," Li Yuan thought, unable to predict Jiang Yuan True Deity's intentions, and without any means to resist, he could only follow.

Leaving the wooden house.

Jiang Yuan True Deity respectfully bowed towards An Chi Celestial God sitting under the distant tree, and Li Yuan followed suit.

"Hmm!"

Jiang Yuan True Deity waved his hand, and an invisible force enveloped Li Yuan. The two of them soared into the sky.
