Chapter 411: Divine Flame Palace! Awakening Star Divine Pill

Chapter 411: Divine Flame Palace! Awakening Star Divine Pill

"Is he really the Country Master?" Jiang Xuan was shocked in her heart.

Her talent was not bad; after only a few decades of cultivation, her understanding of the Laws was so high that she could become a Demi-God at any time. In the future, she might even have a slim chance of becoming an Ethereal Deity. With her father being the Mist Mountain King, it could be said that her status in the Imperial Clan was quite high.

This was why Jing Lei had been afraid of her in the past.

However, even so, from the time of her birth until now, she had never seen the 'Founder' of her Divine Kingdom, and had only seen many of his descendants.

Combined with the terrifying aura emitted by Jiang Yuan, the True God, it made her somewhat suspicious.

"Xu Gege?" Jiang Xuan couldn't help but look at Li Yuan.

She had a vague understanding in her heart; just now, when she was in a deadly situation, she was probably able to survive because of Li Yuan.

"Jiang Xuan," Li Yuan said in a low voice, "This is your Abyss Kingdom's Jiang Yuan, the True God and the Founding Master."

"Jiang Xuan, I pay my respects to the Founder," Jiang Xuan hurriedly said with reverence.

"You're called Jiang Xuan, and you're the daughter of that little guy, Jiang Wu?" Jiang Yuan, the True God, looked down at Jiang Xuan.

"Yes," Jiang Xuan replied obediently.

Jiang Wu was her father's name.

"Jiang Wu, huh," Jiang Yuan, the True God, shook his head.

He had quite a few descendants, but after tens of thousands of years, not many of them could become Ethereal Deities. For Jiang Wu to reach the peak of Ethereal Deity was already quite impressive, and he had summoned him several times, even giving him guidance.

Unfortunately, he had perished not long ago.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little downcast. In fact, she hadn't seen her father many times, but he had always been the object of her reverence.

"Your brother is Jiang Shan? It shouldn't be difficult for him to reach your father's level in the future, and there's also hope for him to reach the True Deity realm. Your talent is also quite good." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said indifferently, "Your lineage is indeed not bad."

"Thank you, Ancestor, for the praise," Jiang Xuan said, her heart filled with joy.

Ancestor!

What kind of existence was that? One must know that the Star Continent was known as the Three Thousand Divine Kingdoms, with some stronger and some weaker. Undoubtedly, the Abyss Kingdom was a first-rate country with a formidable reputation, and all of this was due to Jiang Yuan, the True God.

"I saved you from the Blood Cavern not because you're a member of the Imperial Clan, but because Xu Yuan spoke up for you. If you want to express your gratitude, you should do so to him," Jiang Yuan, the True God, said.

"Xu Gege?" Jiang Xuan's heart trembled, confirming her suspicions.

She was also quite shocked in her heart: "Who exactly is Xu Gege? Could he be the rumored disciple who surpasses the True Deity?"

She couldn't guess Li Yuan's identity.

"Xu Yuan will join my Abyss Kingdom and become a member of the Divine Flame Palace," Jiang Yuan, the True God, continued. "You must not reveal his relationship with me, do you understand?"

"Yes, Jiang Xuan understands," Jiang Xuan quickly replied.

She became even more puzzled in her heart; with Li Yuan's strength and status, why would he want to join the Divine Kingdom?

But Jiang Xuan didn't dare ask further.

"Alright, you may leave now," Jiang Yuan, the True God, said. "When you arrive at the Capital City, the Divine Flame Palace will have updated information, and you can contact Xu Yuan again."

Jiang Xuan nodded and bowed to Xu Yuan once more: "Xu Gege, then we'll meet again in the Capital City."

"Good," Li Yuan nodded.

Jiang Xuan transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the city at the edge of the world.

She didn't ask about the whereabouts of Xu Guo and the others, as she knew that those servants were likely in a dire situation.

Ask Jiang Yuan, the True God? The Ancestor had saved her because Xu Gege had spoken up for her.

To ask further would be to overstep her bounds.

...

Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan, the True God, watched in the void as Jiang Xuan flew away.

"Junior Brother, my plan is to arrange for you to become a member of my Abyss Kingdom's Divine Flame Palace. I'll forge documents stating that you're from the Abyss Kingdom and provide a background that will withstand any investigation," Jiang Yuan, the True God, said as he looked at Li Yuan. "What do you think?"

"Thank you, Senior Brother," Li Yuan expressed his gratitude.

With his identity issue resolved, he could now travel the Star Continent with peace of mind.

"Huff!"

Jiang Yuan, the True God, waved his hand again, and a crystal emitting a brilliant light flew out: "As you've just arrived at the Star Continent, this crystal contains common knowledge and hidden information about the Star Continent. It's enough for you to have a general understanding of the Star Continent. Use it now."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he reached out to take the crystal. His consciousness surged into the crystal, and a vast amount of information appeared in his mind.

An immense amount of information.

Fortunately!

Li Yuan's soul was far stronger than before, and he could accept the information at a much faster rate than in the past. In just a few moments, he had completely absorbed all the information.

"The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities."

"The Six Holy Lands! Three Thousand Kingdoms..." Finally, Li Yuan had a sufficient understanding of the Star Continent.

A vast and expansive continent.

The Heaven Deities stood at the peak, either secretly manipulating the continent or traveling to the Divine Realm.

The True Deities often led countless warriors, causing great wars on the continent.

Unending battles for over a hundred million years.

"Awakening Star Divine Pill!"

"The Ancestral Realm!"

"The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities."

"The Six Holy Lands, all inferior to the Ancient Cities..." Li Yuan finally grasped the core of the complex intelligence, which was the Star Continent's grudges and entanglements, all revolving around these three.

"That's right!"

"According to the teacher, the most special thing about our world compared to the Divine Realm is the Awakening Star Divine Pill. This is the Star Continent's characteristic, and it's also why the Star Veins of our world's strong individuals are slightly stronger," Jiang Yuan, the True God, praised. "The origin of the Awakening Star Divine Pill... this is a mystery, even the teacher doesn't know, and only the 'City Lords' of the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities might know."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

Jiang Yuan, the True God's, intelligence only stated that the Awakening Star Divine Pill was extraordinary, a mystery.

"The Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities."

"The Six Holy Lands, all inferior to the Ancient Cities... The City Lords of the Ancient Cities are the rulers of all under heaven. Once they use their inherited Divine Artifacts, their strength will soar to terrifying heights, far surpass other Heaven Deities can compare. The Ancient Cities are the foundation of the Star Continent," Jiang Yuan, the True God, explained. "For any Divine Kingdom to maintain stability, they must pay a vast amount of treasures to the Ancient Cities and send their elites there for cultivation. The Six Holy Lands are all inferior to the Ancient Cities..."

Li Yuan slightly nodded.

The Six Holy Lands on the Star Continent were all founded by Heaven Deities... Of course, whether these Holy Lands still have Heaven Deities in the present day is also a mystery.

On the Star Continent, Heaven Deities would rarely take action.

"Like the teacher, who once fought against a Heaven Deity from the Eternal Green Ancient City..."

"Jiang Yuan, the True God, sighed, "During that battle, the lord of Eternal Green Ancient City participated and used the inherited Divine Artifact... He fought two against one, and my teacher only managed to escape defeat."

Li Yuan suddenly understood.

Among the three great star cities, Perception Star City, Eternal Green Ancient City, and Sky Serpent Ancient City... The first two were mainly dominated by humans, while the last was primarily inhabited by powerful members of various Divine Beast clans.

"Of course."

"Actually, neither side has a deep-rooted grudge; it's just a dispute over treasures. You don't need to worry too much." Jiang Yuan, the True God, smiled and said, "Moreover, if that Celestial God wants to take action, I'll be the first to face him."

"This is also why I haven't revealed that we are master and disciple." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said, "As long as you don't expose it yourself, no one will know."

"Yes, Master." Li Yuan nodded.

With Jiang Yuan, the True God, supporting him, there was no fear even if the heavens were to collapse.

"One of the key reasons I made you a member of the Abyss Kingdom is..."

"It's because the Abyss Kingdom is one of the core Divine Kingdoms of Perception Star City, and we have a recommendation quota for the 'Flying Heaven Hall' and the 'Demi-Deity Hall' within Perception Star City." Jiang Yuan, the True God, explained, "There's only three months left until the next round of recruitment for preparatory members in Perception Star City. I'll give you a quota... With your strength, passing the final assessment of Perception Star City shouldn't be difficult."

"Once you pass, you'll become a preparatory member of Perception Star City."

"After that, there will be many things you won't need to ask me about, and you'll be able to handle them on your own." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said with a smile, "Among the three great star cities, Perception Star City is the foremost. There are numerous rare resources within Perception Star City specifically prepared for Flying Heaven Demi-Gods... These are even hard to come by in the Divine Realm. How much you can obtain depends on your own abilities."

"Thank you, Master." Li Yuan sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Having connections in high places makes things easier.

With the help of Jiang Yuan, the True God, many of Li Yuan's troubles were resolved.

"The greatest opportunity in this mundane realm is the Ancestral World Seal."

"I wasn't able to obtain it back then."

"The next Ancestral Realm Battle is only three months away." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said, "Even though your talent is high, your cultivation time is short... In any case, I'll do my best to help you, Junior Brother."

"It may not be possible to succeed." Jiang Yuan, the True God, shook his head, "In the end, the Ancestral Realm Battle depends on one's own strength."

"Master has already helped me so much." Li Yuan smiled.

Li Yuan understood.

Jiang Yuan, the True God's arrangement was, in a way, a test for himself... Even if his talent was exceptional, becoming a Celestial God wouldn't be that easy.

"Let's go."

"To the capital city of the Abyss Kingdom." Jiang Yuan, the True God, waved his hand, and a warship appeared in the void.

Li Yuan immediately sensed that it was a True Artifact.

Buzz~ The cabin door opened.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Li Yuan followed Jiang Yuan, the True God, and they flew into the warship. As soon as the warship started, it transformed into a streak of silver light, moving at an astonishing speed.

"Li Yuan, this warship's speed has exceeded one thousand kilometers per second." Gu You's voice echoed.

Li Yuan was secretly shocked.

Flying a thousand kilometers in a second? This speed was incredible, befitting a True God-level powerhouse.

Moreover, the warship's current speed might not even be its limit.

Inside the warship's quiet room.

Li Yuan and Jiang Yuan, the True God, both sat quietly in a cross-legged position.

"I never expected that among the three great star cities, one of them would be Sky Serpent Ancient City. According to the information you gave me, it seems to be controlled by the Sky Serpent Clan." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I never imagined that the Sky Serpent Clan still has a heritage in this realm... It's truly a pity."

Unconsciously, Li Yuan thought of a possibility.

"Little Bing, will she be teleported to the region where Sky Serpent Ancient City is located?" Li Yuan had a sliver of expectation in his heart.

Currently,

Perhaps due to the vast distance, Li Yuan couldn't sense Liu Bing's spiritual aura.

...

After flying for several hours and crossing millions of miles, the warship finally arrived at the capital city of the Abyss Kingdom.

The warship directly passed through the restrictions and entered the inner city, gradually reducing its speed.

"Junior Brother."

"This is my token. If you encounter any trouble, you can send me a message." Jiang Yuan, the True God, smiled, "If you're in mortal danger, you can crush the token... I'll know immediately."

"However, I hope you won't crush the token if possible."

"Thank you, Master." Li Yuan nodded, knowing that if he crushed the token, it would mean he couldn't withstand the danger, and in a sense, it would be a failure of the trial... He feared that the other party would be disappointed.

After putting away the token.

Huff! Huff! Li Yuan followed Jiang Yuan, the True God, and flew out of the warship. From here, they could overlook the entire capital city of the Abyss Kingdom.

"What a massive city." Li Yuan was secretly astonished.

As far as the eye could see, the entire capital city might span tens of thousands of kilometers, and even with his eyesight, he couldn't see the end.

Indeed vast!

Perhaps, there might not be any technological products on the Star Perception Continent, but in terms of prosperity, no city in the Seven Star Civilization could compare to the capital city of the Abyss Kingdom.

"Junior Brother, don't be too surprised."

"Powerful individuals move at incredible speeds, and their lairs are often vast." Gu You transmitted her voice, "This capital city of the Abyss Kingdom might have more than one True God, numerous Void Deities, and even more Demi-Gods... In the Divine Realm, many True God powerhouses occupy an entire planet as their lair."

Li Yuan understood.

In the mundane realm, Void Deities are rare, and some of his knowledge needed to be adjusted.

Whoosh!

A purple-robed elder flew over from not far away.

"Your Majesty." The purple-robed elder bowed respectfully.

"Xu Yuan, this is the Palace Lord of the Divine Flame Palace, Sha Xi, the Void Deity." Jiang Yuan, the True God, introduced.

"Greetings." Sha Xi, the Void Deity, smiled and nodded, but he still couldn't determine Li Yuan's identity and dared not address him casually.

"Sha Xi." Jiang Yuan, the True God, continued, "Xu Yuan is a friend of mine. I entrust him to you. Give him a quota for the Flying Heaven Realm in three months' time, allowing him to go to Perception Star City."

"A quota for Perception Star City?" Sha Xi, the Void Deity's eyes flashed with surprise, "Your Majesty, this quota has already been allocated."

Jiang Yuan, the True God, frowned, "I said to give Xu Yuan a quota.

"I'll go now." Sha Xi, the Void Deity, immediately said.

"Also, don't reveal my relationship with Xu Yuan. No matter who asks, don't tell them." Jiang Yuan, the True God, instructed, "Treat Xu Yuan the same as any other normal Flying Heaven member, and don't pay him extra attention."

"I understand." Sha Xi, the Void Deity, said, understanding that the king highly valued the youth before him.

"Xu Yuan, follow my instructions."

Immediately.

Whoosh!

Jiang Yuan, the True God, took a step and disappeared into the dense fog, and in the distance, a majestic palace could be vaguely seen.

This is the Abyss Kingdom's imperial palace, the residence of Jiang Yuan, the True God. Even ordinary Void Deities are not qualified to approach this place.

…

"Xu Yuan, follow me." Sha Xi, the Void Deity, smiled, realizing that the young man before him was no ordinary being.

The Abyss Kingdom's ruler was an existence second only to the Sky Deity in the entire continent... A friend's request? What kind of friend could make the ruler take such an interest? However, with Jiang Yuan's instructions, he dared not ask further.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The two of them weaved through the clouds and mist.

"Xu Yuan, ordinary Demi-Gods cannot fly through the capital's skies; they can only fly along the streets." Sha Xi explained, "Only Divine Beings or those from the Abyss Kingdom's core can traverse forbidden areas."

"All members of the Divine Flame Palace are part of the core."

"In the Abyss Kingdom, one power belongs to the Imperial Clan, and another to the Ten Thousand Divine Palace and the Divine Flame Palace." Sha Xi elaborated.

Li Yuan listened intently.

He already knew all of this; the Imperial Clan was the foundation of the Abyss Kingdom, and all its members were descendants of Jiang Yuan's bloodline. However, the number of Divine Beings was actually quite high, and there were only over a dozen Void Deities.

As for the Ten Thousand Divine Palace, it was a gathering of guest Divine Beings who had joined the Abyss Kingdom. Among them were several True Gods, and over a thousand Void Deities... This clearly demonstrated Jiang Yuan's terrifying strength.

Ordinary True Gods wouldn't have so many Void Deities following them.

This didn't even include the power Jiang Yuan could command within Perception Star City.

The Divine Flame Palace was a gathering of the Abyss Kingdom's Flying Heaven Rank and Demi-God Rank geniuses... It implied that those who joined the Divine Flame Palace should aspire to ignite the Divine Flame.

Soon after, the two arrived at a palace with an extremely vast area, guarded by two Demi-Gods leading a large group of Flying Heaven Rank warriors at the entrance.

"Greetings, Palace Lord." The guards saluted.

"This is Li Yuan, our new member of the Divine Flame Palace." Sha Xi pointed to Li Yuan and said calmly, "He will be directly ranked tenth on the Flight Heaven Ranking. Is that clear to everyone?"

"Directly ranked tenth on the Flight Heaven Ranking?" The guards were all secretly astonished.

"Greetings, Li Yuan." The guards bowed respectfully, including the two Demi-God leaders.

Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

After entering the Divine Flame Palace, Sha Xi introduced Li Yuan to various places, including many areas for cultivation assistance and lectures... It was evident that the Divine Flame Palace, as a place for nurturing geniuses, had an excellent environment.

"Li Yuan."

"From now until we depart for Perception Star City, you will reside in this mansion." Sha Xi said, "If you have any matters, come and find me."

"Additionally, every member of the Divine Flame Palace receives a gift when they are first ranked in the top ten of the Flight Heaven Ranking or the Demi-God Ranking."

"Your gift will be delivered shortly." Sha Xi informed him.

"Thank you." Li Yuan said, and then he transformed into a stream of light and flew into the luxurious mansion.

Inside the mansion were many servants, including two Flying Heaven Rank and several Essence Warriors.

"Greetings, Master." The servants bowed, having just received the message.

"Everything in the mansion is as usual. You need not concern yourself with me." Li Yuan said, "Unless it's urgent, do not disturb me."

"Yes." The servants bowed.

These servants were arranged by the Divine Flame Palace, and Li Yuan could command, scold, or even kill them.

Of course, if he were to kill a servant arranged by the Divine Flame Palace, he would have to pay a fine in Divine Crystals.

"I'm just a passerby in the Divine Flame Palace, so there's no need to pay it much mind." Li Yuan thought to himself as he flew into the 'Quiet Room' deep within the mansion.

Quickly, Li Yuan began to refine the mansion's core within the quiet room, directly activating the entire mansion's 'Essence Energy Guardian Formation'.

Li Yuan had already sensed that the technological creations on Perception Star Continent were average, but in terms of Essence Energy Runes, they far surpassed the Seven Star Civilization. In the Abyss Kingdom's capital, one could sense the presence of Essence Energy Formations almost everywhere.

"This Quiet Room is indeed well-crafted." Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform within the quiet room, feeling his mind quickly calming down.

The quiet room's door slowly closed.

"Continue your cultivation." Li Yuan closed his eyes, continuing to ponder the fourth move of the 'Boundary Cloud Spear' he had just comprehended.

... Outside Li Yuan's mansion.

"I just ordered those guards to salute."

Sha Xi thought, "Soon, Illusion True Marquis will probably receive the news, so I won't have to remind her."

As the Palace Lord of the Divine Flame Palace, he wouldn't do something so trivial.

"Her only son had his spot taken away; this matter can't be easily brushed aside." Sha Xi felt a bit helpless.

Perception Star City only recruits a batch of preparatory members every twenty years.

The Abyss Kingdom only has twenty recommendation spots in total, ten for Flying Heaven Rank and ten for Demi-God Rank.

Therefore, the opportunity was rare, and many important figures in the Abyss Kingdom were eyeing these spots.

These twenty spots, on the surface, were solely based on strength.

However, private connections and relationships were also crucial.

Illusion True Marquis had spent a considerable price to secure a spot for her son.

"If the ruler had given a direct order, it wouldn't be a problem, and Illusion True Marquis wouldn't have a say." Sha Xi thought, "But the ruler not only ordered his inclusion without a trial... It seems that Li Yuan's strength might not be up to par."

"I hope he can withstand the pressure. If he can't, it's not my fault; after all, the ruler instructed me not to interfere." Sha Xi shook his head and took a step out, disappearing from the plaza outside the mansion).

Sha Xi had no idea that Jiang Yuan believed Li Yuan's strength was formidable, and there was no need for unnecessary procedures.

...

Less than two hours after entering the quiet room, Li Yuan received a message from a servant.

The gift for being ranked in the top ten of the Flight Heaven Ranking had arrived.

"One hundred Divine Crystals."

"Ten Awakening Star Divine Pills?" Li Yuan looked at the gift delivered by three Demi-Gods, and his heart filled with joy.

One hundred Divine Crystals weren't important; he had just obtained twenty thousand Divine Crystals from the Abyss Demon Blood Cavern.

But ten Awakening Star Divine Pills were given at once?

"That's right."

"Being ranked in the top ten of the Flight Heaven Ranking in the Divine Flame Palace represents the very pinnacle of the Flying Heaven Rank. Receiving ten Awakening Star Divine Pills is normal." Li Yuan thought, "It's a good opportunity to test the effects of the Awakening Star Divine Pill."

Li Yuan stored the gift in his treasure.

He returned to the quiet room, activating the Essence Energy Formation, and his heart quickly calmed.

"Awakening Star Divine Pill." Li Yuan flipped his palm, and a pill with purple patterns and a strange fragrance appeared.
