Chapter 453: Self-Improvement! Liu Bing

Chapter 453: Self-Improvement! Liu Bing

"With the Dream Realm Stone, it will be much easier for you to conceal your identity." Jiang Yuan True God said, "Over the next three years, you can disguise yourself as an Ethereal Divine and continue to roam the lands where many Ethereal Divines gather."

"Among a large number of Ethereal Divines, not to mention you are only at the peak of the Ethereal Divine, even if you are an Ethereal Divine at the limit of power, you won't stand out." Jiang Yuan True God smiled and said, "No one will pay attention to you."

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

"Good, go ahead." Jiang Yuan True God looked at Li Yuan and waved his hand.

"If you encounter something extremely dangerous, seek my aid again."

"Also, be extra careful. Although your strength has greatly improved, and you have many hidden cards, in this vast world, anything unexpected can happen... Always maintain a sense of reverence." Jiang Yuan True God instructed.

Li Yuan silently took note and then respectfully bowed and withdrew from the hall.

Inside the hall.

"To obtain the Dream Realm Stone from the treasure vault, I paid a small portion of my wealth." Jiang Yuan True God silently said, "I didn't expect Li Yuan to be able to complete the Soul Contract so quickly. His talent in the path of the soul is no less than his talent in the Laws, and it might even be stronger."

"Not yet forty years old."

"Awakening nine Star Veins at the Demigod level, the profoundness of Ethereal Divine peak-level techniques, willpower at the True God level... Such talent, in the Chaos Divine Court of the Divine Realm, should all be top-notch." Jiang Yuan True God thought to himself.

He had been secretly observing Xu Yuan and constantly raising the stakes... He originally wanted to see Li Yuan's performance in the Ancestral Realm Battle before deciding whether to help him obtain the Dream Realm Stone.

The Dream Realm Stone and the Mind Illusion Six Realms were things that Jiang Yuan True God had known about long ago.

But someone like Jiu Yin, although she had profound knowledge of the Mind Illusion Six Realms, her Star Technique and Law level was too ordinary, not worth Jiang Yuan True God paying such a high price, so Jiu Yin didn't even know about the existence of the Dream Realm Stone.

It wasn't until he received the news of Li Yuan's 'Ethereal Divine peak strength' that Jiang Yuan True God made up his mind.

For a powerful Dao artifact like the Dream Realm Stone, its value was extremely high... In Perception Star City, very few Heavenly Gods were born in each generation, and even fewer were skilled in the path of the soul, so it ended up gathering dust in the treasure vault, ultimately allowing Jiang Yuan True God to obtain it.

If it were in the Divine Realm, such a powerful Dao artifact would be fought over by the Heavenly Gods, how could it fall into the hands of a Demigod?

"The Divine Realm?"

"Ta You Heavenly God and the others have been used to ruling over this small world, afraid to take risks, and have long lost their spirit of advancement." Jiang Yuan True God's eyes held a hint of longing, "In the Divine Realm, there are endless wonders."

Chi Chi, waves of invisible flames appeared beside Jiang Yuan True God, even forming various illusions.

"Daoist illusions."

"This is the complete Dao of Laws." Jiang Yuan True God silently comprehended, "Xu Yuan is indeed my lucky star."

Over this year, while Li Yuan's soul consciousness was immersed in the Dream Realm Stone.

Jiang Yuan True God unknowingly took the final step and completely mastered the Law of Fire.

It can be said that with a single thought, Jiang Yuan True God could begin his breakthrough to become a Heavenly God.

...

After leaving the Law Enforcement Divine Palace, Li Yuan returned directly to a side hall within the Divine Flame Palace.

Submitting the task.

"Xu Yuan, you've completed the trial so quickly," Yue Yi True God received the news and hurried over, feeling quite shocked.

He wasn't aware of Li Yuan's 'Ethereal Divine peak strength'.

For ordinary trial tasks, the few Ethereal Divine commanders here could confirm...

"Yes." Li Yuan said, "Please check, Deputy Palace Lord, to see if there are any mistakes."

Huala~ Li Yuan waved his hand, and a storage artifact flew out immediately.

Yue Yi True God carefully checked and confirmed that there were no mistakes, "En, three thousand Demigod Dragon Crystals, ten Ethereal Divine Dragon Crystals... Completing the two trial tasks, the reward is a total of '110,000 Perception Star Points'."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. In theory, one Perception Star Point could be exchanged for a treasure worth one Divine Crystal... But some of the rare treasures unique to Perception Star City couldn't be obtained with Divine Crystals alone, they required Perception Star Points.

So for the powerful individuals of Perception Star City, Perception Star Points were even more valuable.

People like Li Yuan, Jing Kui, and the other Demigod sons had the opportunity to complete many trial tasks.

Once they became gods, they would no longer have this chance.

"Deputy Palace Lord, I'd like to consult you about something." Li Yuan asked, "If I have extra Dragon Crystals, can I sell them to you?"

"Sure, we can buy them. Depending on the quality of the Dragon Crystal, one Demigod Dragon Crystal is worth 1 to 10 Perception Star Points." Yue Yi True God smiled.

"One Ethereal Divine Dragon Crystal is worth 1,000 to 10,000 Perception Star Points."

Li Yuan listened, and this price wasn't a low offer compared to what he knew from other major forces. But the key was that they were paying in Perception Star Points.

"Deputy Palace Lord, please take a look." Li Yuan waved his hand and passed another storage artifact, "How many Perception Star Points are these Dragon Crystals of mine worth?"

"Good, just a moment." Yue Yi True God reached out and took it, and he didn't pay much attention either.

Because the ten Ethereal Divine Dragon Crystals he had just received from the task were of lower quality, basically all condensed from 'Ethereal Divine low-level Dragon Beasts'.

So, he subconsciously assumed that the Ethereal Divine Dragon Beasts Li Yuan hunted were also of lower strength, which matched his impression of Li Yuan's strength.

However, after slightly probing the second storage artifact, Yue Yi True God's expression changed.

"So many Ethereal Divine Dragon Crystals?" Yue Yi True God's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, "And quite a few Dragon Crystals of such high quality, they must be produced by Ethereal Divine peak-level Dragon Beasts, right?"

He couldn't help but glance at Li Yuan, hunting Ethereal Divine peak-level Dragon Beasts?

Although Dragon Beasts were generally weaker than human Demigods in terms of strength, their Origin Power cultivation and Law comprehension were still there... Even someone as powerful as Jing Kui might find it difficult to kill Ethereal Divine peak-level Dragon Beasts.

"Deputy Palace Lord, what do you think?" Li Yuan asked, "How many Perception Star Points are these Dragon Crystals worth?"

Yue Yi True God thought for a moment.

"The Divine Flame Palace is willing to offer 26,000 Perception Star Points to purchase them." Yue Yi True God said, "If you're not satisfied with the price, I can't offer more."

"Good, I accept." Li Yuan nodded in agreement, and this value was slightly higher than he had expected.

...

Returning to his own Holy Son's mansion, Li Yuan entered the Tranquil Chamber.

"You've gained quite a lot on this trip." Gu You's voice sounded with a hint of joy, "Just by hunting those Ethereal Divine Dragon Beasts, you've accumulated a lot of treasures."

"En, quite a lot." Li Yuan nodded involuntarily.

Although each Ethereal Divine Dragon Beast didn't have many treasures, the accumulation of many small gains added up, and there were even several Ethereal Divine peak-level beasts among them. The total value of their treasures was close to 300,000 square Divine Crystals.

In addition to the 100,000 divine crystals obtained from the previous trial battle and the accumulated treasures and wealth from the past, Li Yuan now had over 400,000 cubic divine crystals on his person.

Furthermore, this trial task had yielded nearly 400,000 Perception Star Points.

It could be said that all of Li Yuan's treasures and wealth combined could rival that of a Demigod-level powerhouse.

This was without even considering the Demigod puppet, the Dimensional Teleportation Talisman, the Dimensional Plane Evolution Divine Artifact, the Ancient God Palace, the Dream Realm Stone, and other precious items.

Even the lowest-valued mid-tier Demigod puppet, if put up for sale, would be worth a million cubic divine crystals... The value of the other treasures was unimaginable.

"These treasures are still far from enough."

"Following the example of the Eastern Alliance Leader, even if I return to my homeland civilization, I probably won't be able to stay in the Seven-Star Civilization for too long... It's hard to say what will happen in the more distant future." Li Yuan's thoughts remained calm.

"So..."

"I must strive to establish a foundation for the Seven-Star Civilization that will last for ten thousand years, building upon what the Eastern Alliance Leader has already accomplished." Li Yuan's heart was filled with desire.

The Eastern Alliance Leader had done everything within his capabilities.

As a latecomer, Li Yuan now had the opportunity to dedicate himself to the civilization.

"I'll continue to familiarize myself with the Dream Realm Stone, and once I've mastered it, I'll set off for the Solitary Cloud World." Li Yuan spoke softly.

"Mhm, the Dream Realm Stone is indeed an incredible treasure." Gu You also communicated through sound transmission, "Even if you become a True God or a Heaven God in the future, it will still have great uses."

"Just the ability to disguise one's aura without alerting a True God is worth a city."

...

Three days later.

A newly ascended Demigod powerhouse from the Abyss Nation, going by the alias 'Eastern Apex,' silently boarded the teleportation array and descended upon the Solitary Cloud World.

The Solitary Cloud World was a world created by the Solitary Cloud Heaven God, and it was recognized as one of the 'Strongest Heaven Gods' in the historical river of this world.

Similar to the Dragon Blood Realm, only Demigods were allowed to freely enter and exit.

However, the Solitary Cloud World was even more vast than the Dragon Blood Realm... In that era, he was the strongest! At that time, he waged war against the three major Starry Skies Ancient Cities simultaneously.

He also established the sacred ground, the Solitary Cloud Sacred Land, but it was later destroyed by the three ancient cities after he passed away.

The Solitary Cloud World, however, survived. This world contained a vast amount of treasure and heritage from the Solitary Cloud Sacred Land... Many of them were seized by the Solitary Cloud Heaven God from various powers.

Over the long years, powerful beings from various forces had scoured this world, taking away many treasures.

But under the operation of the world's origin, it continued to produce rare and precious treasures... It became a well-known treasure world in this realm, attracting countless Demigods and False Gods to explore.

Some came for the treasures, while others came to temper themselves.

... In a vast abyss.

"It's Eastern Apex, the Demigod."

"Run!"

"This newly emerged Eastern Apex Demigod is incredibly fast. His spear skills aren't particularly strong, but once he engages you, it's hard to escape." Several Demigod powerhouses fled in panic.

But the silver-armored youth streaked across the sky, his speed surpassing theirs. With a swift spear strike, he caused the void to tremble, as if a silver light had appeared in the heavens, simultaneously severely injuring three Demigod powerhouses.

Facing such terrifying spear skills, these ordinary Demigods had no chance of resistance.

"Hand over all your treasures, and I'll spare your lives." Li Yuan's voice was indifferent.

"I'll give them to you!"

"Hand them over." The three Demigod powerhouses, in their fear, handed over the treasures they carried and quickly fled.

Compared to their lives, these treasures were insignificant.

"I'll continue to explore this abyss." Li Yuan descended.

...

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Treasure!"

"It's the silver-armored, silver-spear-wielding Eastern Apex Demigod. His speed is incredible; quickly block her!" Many Demigods who were originally fighting fled upon seeing the newcomer.

There were tens of thousands of Demigods exploring the Solitary Cloud World, hailing from various powers.

A large number of Demigods were also fighting and killing each other in different treasure-rich regions.

In the Cloud Nine region, a newly emerged super-powerful Demigod, Eastern Apex, had appeared.

After just over a dozen encounters, the Demigods from various forces acknowledged that he possessed peak Demigod strength, and his survival skills were on par with a Demigod-level powerhouse.

As time passed, Eastern Apex's reputation grew, but it was limited to this region of the Solitary Cloud World.

After all, a Demigod with a slightly faster flight speed wasn't particularly remarkable. Additionally, although Eastern Apex was crazy about seizing treasures and fighting, he rarely slaughtered the weak, and few Demigods had fallen by his hand... This also meant that other powers' True Gods didn't specifically target him.

Due to the environment, there were few True Gods in the Solitary Cloud World.

Usually, it was the guardians of various powers, and as long as they didn't go too far, the True Gods generally wouldn't bully the weak.

...

Through battles and clashes with other Demigods, Li Yuan rarely used soul attacks and even less frequently employed his domain, as the 'Heavenly River' was quite eye-catching.

Instead, he relied on his spear skills to fight!

This made each battle more challenging, and the accumulation of treasures slower, but it also allowed Li Yuan to continuously improve his spear skills and better conceal his identity.

Before long, nearly two years had passed.

In a huge cave.

"My will has broken through to the True God level, and my soul, which had already grown to near its limit, is rapidly improving again." Li Yuan thought to himself, "It should be close to reaching level 58."

The body's growth, nourishment from the law's origin, and the tempering of willpower all contribute to the soul's growth.

Even for a Demigod, it would take thousands of years for the soul to grow to level 58.

Li Yuan quietly nurtured his soul, and half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, Li Yuan felt a prompt from the Divine Palace Panel, "Your soul level has increased from 57 to 58."

"Your spiritual awakening limit has increased from 90% to 95%."

A faint smile appeared on Li Yuan's lips as his soul level reached 58, and his spiritual awakening limit increased once again, bringing him closer to the 100% threshold.

Suddenly, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he turned his head towards the depths of the void, "Little Bing?"

At the moment of his soul's progress and growth, Li Yuan sensed Liu Bing's presence.

"Big Brother!! It's me." A voice filled with excitement also echoed in Li Yuan's soul.
