Chapter 451: Jiang Yuan's Request
Chapter 451: Jiang Yuan's Request
"A True God?" Li Yuan was momentarily surprised, knowing that hunting down Demigod-level Dragon Beasts would have consequences.
However, he never expected it to attract the attention of a True God-level Dragon Beast so quickly.
After all, according to the intelligence, the Dragon Blood Realm was comparable in size to dozens of Divine Nations, and Demigod-level Dragon Beasts numbered in the tens of thousands.
"Don't be surprised." Jiang Yuan, a True God, explained, "If you were a Demigod, constantly changing your identity and attire, even after killing so many Demigod-level Dragon Beasts, it would still only cause a slight disturbance. After all, even if a Demigod Dragon Beast sends a message before its death, it can't simulate your soul's aura, and they won't guess that it was all your doing."
"But you happen to be a Demigod, and no matter how you change your attire, the Demigod aura can't be hidden. It's naturally noticeable that it's your doing, and it will attract attention." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said.
Li Yuan instantly understood.
"Then I'll return immediately." Li Yuan replied without hesitation.
"No need." Jiang Yuan, the True God, shook his head. "Just stay where you are and send me your location. I'll have Mu Zhuo, the True God, come to fetch you... Now that the Dragon Beast clan has made their move, it's too risky for you to travel alone."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.
...
After sending his approximate location, Li Yuan, who was in the Dragon Blood Realm, remained stationary, pondering the intricacies of spear techniques.
"The sixth move of the 'Boundary Cloud Spear,' 'Sand Shadow,' is a combination of the Law of Wind and the Law of Space, with a lesser emphasis on the mysteries of the Law of Earth. The move is as illusory as mist, seeking unpredictability rather than absolute offensive power." Li Yuan mused, "The 'Sand Shadow' I've comprehended focuses primarily on the Law of Space."
"The seventh move, on the other hand, seeks absolute power and might." Li Yuan thought to himself, "To comprehend this move, I should focus on my understanding of 'Spatial Cutting.'"
The path of Space was vast, with numerous aspects, and Li Yuan's primary focus was on Spatial Cutting and World.
"But the method is just a guide."
"All combat secrets must ultimately adapt to the individual." Li Yuan contemplated.
As Li Yuan continued to comprehend the 'Boundary Cloud Spear,' the techniques he had grasped began to deviate from the original.
It was evident that the differences would become more pronounced as he progressed.
One day, when Li Yuan reached an extremely high realm and found that the various combat secrets and ultimate techniques he encountered were unsuitable for him, he would have to create his own ultimate combat techniques.
However, for Li Yuan, who had only comprehended the Laws at the Demigod level, it was too early to discuss such matters.
Creating combat secrets and ultimate techniques was something only a True God at the peak of comprehension, almost enlightened to the Great Dao, would do.
...
While Li Yuan patiently awaited Mu Zhuo, the True God, to come and fetch him, within the Perception Star Ancient City:
"Chi Yang, the news of Xu Yuan's strength must not be leaked out under any circumstances." Jiang Yuan, the True God, spoke in a deep voice.
"Understood." Chi Yang, the True God, nodded, aware of the gravity of the situation.
Previously, Li Yuan had attracted the attention of major powers from all over the world by defeating several opponents with soul attacks in the Ranking Battle.
If the news of Li Yuan possessing 'Demigod-level strength' were to spread, it would cause an even greater disturbance.
After all, how old was Li Yuan?
"Deputy City Lord." Chi Yang, the True God, asked in confusion, "Even if we delay until the Ancestral Realm Battle, won't Xu Yuan's news be exposed then?"
"Then we'll wait until that time to expose it. The longer we can delay, the better." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said.
Exposed during the Ancestral Realm Battle?
According to Jiang Yuan's estimation, by that time, Li Yuan should have completely left this world.
Huff!
After entrusting the matter to Chi Yang, the True God, Jiang Yuan, the True God, quickly left the Divine Fire Palace and arrived at a magnificent mansion in the inner city.
As the Deputy City Lord, his path was unobstructed.
It wasn't until he reached the palace at the end of the corridor that Jiang Yuan, the True God, finally stopped and respectfully said, "City Lord."
"What is it?" came the voice of the Ta You Heavenly God from the depths of the palace.
Simultaneously, an invisible wave enveloped the corridor, preventing others from overhearing their conversation.
"I just received news from the Dragon Blood Realm." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said, "Xu Yuan has already reached the Demigod level in terms of physical attacks."
"Demigod level? In physical attacks?" The Ta You Heavenly God's voice was filled with surprise. "Are you sure?"
Even a powerful Heavenly God was taken aback by this news.
"I'm certain." Jiang Yuan, the True God, assured him, "I've personally asked Xu Yuan, and he has already killed a 55th-level Dragon Beast... I've sent Mu Zhuo, the True God, to fetch him to prevent news of his strength from spreading. When Xu Yuan returns, I'll personally examine him."
"Hmm."
"I trust your judgment." The Ta You Heavenly God said slowly.
Previously, Jiang Yuan, the True God, was appointed as the Director of the Law Enforcement Divine Palace due to his formidable strength and his adept handling of various affairs, which impressed the Ta You Heavenly God.
"Last time, I petitioned the City Lord to exchange that secret treasure." Jiang Yuan, the True God, said, "I observed that Xu Yuan has reached a level where he needs to venture out, clash with strong opponents, and temper himself... But if he travels as a Demigod, he might encounter many unexpected dangers."
Temperament and unexpected dangers were different matters.
For example, in the Dragon Blood Realm, Li Yuan's battles with Demigod Dragon Beasts, even against those at the Demigod limit, were part of his 'temperament.' If he died, it was because his skills were inferior.
But if the news leaked, and True Gods from other powers came to hunt him down, that would be an 'unexpected danger.'
"Once Longevity Ancient City fully unleashes its strength, they will likely take action." Jiang Yuan, a True God, spoke, "So, I want to exchange that secret treasure with him in advance."
"To retrieve it from the treasure vault in advance? I have no objections." The voice of Ta You Heavenly God boomed, "But you must understand that the secret treasure is usually only usable by True Gods... Even if Xu Yuan possesses incredible talent in the Soul Path, he will only be a Demigod for a short time. Can he use it?"
"I want to give it to him now, not expecting him to unleash its power, but just hoping..." Jiang Yuan True God expressed his intention.
"Very well."
"If you've thought it through, go to the treasure vault yourself." Ta You Heavenly God said.
"Thank you, City Lord."
...
Li Yuan had been traversing the Dragon Blood Realm for quite some time.
The Perception Star City branch was quite far away.
Even Mu Zhuo True God, upon receiving the news, rushed over without rest, taking two days to arrive.
"Holy Son Xu Yuan." Mu Zhuo True God descended from the void, heading straight for Li Yuan's likely location.
"Mu Zhuo True God." Li Yuan soared into the sky, meeting Mu Zhuo True God who approached with a smile.
"Haha."
"Holy Son Xu Yuan, you're truly formidable. In just a few short years, you've managed to unleash the power of a Demigod. Amazing!" Mu Zhuo True God exclaimed with enthusiasm, "Now, among the countless geniuses in the Divine Fire Palace, only Jing Kui can compare to you."
"But Jing Kui cultivated for hundreds of years to achieve such accomplishments..." Mu Zhuo True God sighed, "Holy Son Xu Yuan, how long have you cultivated? In the future, you will surely surpass him."
These words made Li Yuan feel a bit embarrassed.
The words were true, but Mu Zhuo True God seemed overly enthusiastic.
During their initial meeting, his attitude was good, but not like this.
"Mu Zhuo True God, let's leave this place." Li Yuan said.
"Haha, Holy Son, you're right." Mu Zhuo True God nodded with a smile, "Let's return to the branch. This area is indeed dangerous. On my way here, I encountered a True God-level Dragon Beast, but it didn't dare to attack me."
"A True God-level Dragon Beast?" Li Yuan was secretly surprised and relieved.
Fortunately!
If he continued his reckless killing spree and encountered such a beast, he might have been forced to use the Return Token or the Dimensional Teleportation Talisman.
Now, facing a Demigod-level expert, he had a chance to survive.
If he encountered a True God-level expert, death was certain.
"Let's go."
Mu Zhuo True God waved his hand, and an invisible force lifted them into the sky.
Two days later.
At the Perception Star City branch in the Dragon Blood Realm.
"Hua!"
A beam of light soared into the sky, and Li Yuan's figure disappeared from the teleportation array.
Outside the array, Mu Zhuo True God's smile faded.
"Mu Zhuo, why are you acting differently this time?" A carefree voice resonated in his mind, "Last time, you didn't want to befriend Xu Yuan, but this time you're being overly polite, even giving him fifty Demigod-level Dragon Crystals... This is not just friendship, it's more like flattering him."
"You even made up a story about encountering a True God-level Dragon Beast."
"It's different this time!"
Mu Zhuo True God shook his head, "Last time, I didn't want to because normally, by the time he gains power, I'd be long gone, and it wouldn't make sense. But!"
"In just three years, he's been a Demigod for three years." Mu Zhuo True God's eyes shone, "And he's already at the peak of Demigod level!! What kind of talent is this? Can you imagine it?"
The carefree voice was stunned.
"Even the legendary Holy Blood Sky Serpent, I feel, cultivates slower than Xu Yuan." Mu Zhuo True God said solemnly.
"Holy Blood Sky Serpent? No way." The carefree voice couldn't help but exclaim, "According to legends, the Holy Blood Sky Serpent can almost comprehend the Great Dao in just a few hundred years, swiftly reaching the peak of True God."
"I trust my judgment." Mu Zhuo True God said gravely, "Perhaps the Holy Blood Sky Serpent can reach the peak of True God faster, but when the talent of their bloodline reaches its limit... Their speed in becoming a Heavenly God will definitely be slower than Xu Yuan's."
"I bet Xu Yuan can quickly break through the Heavenly God bottleneck."
"That's true." The carefree voice said, "The Holy Blood Sky Serpent's initial rapid growth is due to its extremely powerful bloodline."
"In my lifetime, I have no hope of breaking through to Heavenly God, but before I pass away, I might witness Xu Yuan becoming a Heavenly God... So, befriending him might bring some benefits." Mu Zhuo True God said softly.
Even if it's destined that he will die.
But before his death, he has many unfulfilled wishes, some of which... only a Heavenly God can fulfill.
This is the reason for Mu Zhuo True God's significant change in attitude towards Li Yuan.
...
In the Perception Star Realm.
Hua!
The light faded, and Li Yuan flew out of the teleportation array, shaking his head inwardly.
This Mu Zhuo True God was indeed enthusiastic, directly giving him fifty Demigod-level Dragon Crystals.
Li Yuan knew that Mu Zhuo True God wanted to befriend him after learning of his strength.
Hoo!
Li Yuan didn't think too deeply. With his improved strength, he could also carry some important gifts.
"Junior Brother, have you returned to the Perception Star Realm? Come to me quickly." Li Yuan received a message from Jiang Yuan True God.
