Chapter 475: Gun Technique Transformation! The Divine King's Legacy

Chapter 475: Gun Technique Transformation! The Divine King's Legacy



For many Demi-Gods who had cultivated for hundreds of years, two years was a long time.

Unless one had accumulated a vast amount of knowledge and was ready to unleash it, even with favorable cultivation environments, significant progress was rare.

But Li Yuan was entirely different.

His cultivation journey was short, and it had only been over twenty years since he truly embarked on the path of comprehending the mysteries of the universe.

In the three years in the Solitary Cloud world and the one year during the Ancestral Realm War, his understanding of laws and his ultimate gun technique had been rapidly improving.

After arriving at the Divine Emperor Island for over two years, Li Yuan's progress not only didn't slow down but accelerated.

Because he could refer to the traces of techniques left behind by the Heavenly Deities, it was as if he witnessed each Heavenly Deity personally demonstrating their skills...

More importantly, the Seven Universal Paths and the Five Volumes of Space served as his guidance.

At first glance, these two legacies didn't seem to have the clear leading role of the Law Mirror and the Law True River.

But the more Li Yuan comprehended, the more he felt the preciousness and heaven-defying nature of these two legacies.

"High Command."

"The Law Mirror and the Law True River left behind by the Heavenly Deities mostly contain only one aspect, holding an understanding of a portion of the laws." Li Yuan thought to himself, "It's like a blind man touching an elephant, grasping only a part of it. If I strictly follow them without adding my own comprehension and complete absorption, it might distort my understanding of certain law paths, especially the space law..."

Once a cognition is established and imprinted on the soul, it becomes difficult to change.

"But the Celestial Star Divine Emperor's realm is too high." Li Yuan marveled, "The Seven Universal Paths and the Five Volumes of Space he left behind truly encompass all aspects of the eight fundamental laws."

"It's as if..."

It was as if Li Yuan himself was sensing the origin of the laws between heaven and earth from the front, observing the 'elephant' directly.

However, through the study of the Seven Universal Paths and the Five Volumes of Space, it was like observing the 'elephant' from the side.

The perspectives were different, but both were observing the complete origin of the law paths.

"Unbelievable."

"Taking the universe as my teacher? Considering the origin of laws as the ultimate path?" Li Yuan muttered to himself, "Has my teacher thoroughly comprehended all eight fundamental laws between heaven and earth?"

Just the thought of it made Li Yuan feel incredulous.

But Li Yuan didn't dwell on it; he was fully immersed in his cultivation and constantly refining his gun techniques.

One day, two years after arriving on the island.

The Secret Technique Region.

"Swoosh!" "Swoosh!" "Swoosh!"

Dressed in black, Li Yuan walked in the sky, not daring to activate his Origin Power but using ordinary gun techniques to manipulate the laws.

His gun techniques were unpredictable, and the terrifying destructive intent within them constantly seeped into the spatial dimension.

However, the space on the Divine Emperor Island was too stable. Even Li Yuan's gun techniques, which could leave 'spatial traces' under normal circumstances, couldn't create ripples here.

Boom! The aftermath of the gun techniques reverberated, and as soon as they touched the edges of the Secret Technique Region, everything returned to calm.

All law influences were contained within this plaza.

Suddenly.

Another gun thrust out!

"Shira!"

As if the heart had reached a state of contentment, this gun thrust contained the mysteries of the laws, and in a vague moment, it was as if a massive star suddenly burst forth, emitting dazzling light, and as if a gust of wind destroyed everything, but in the end, it was the invisible spatial ripples that contained everything, guiding it all in the same direction.

Recalling the fist is to strike it out with greater force.

The strongest attack is to concentrate power into a single line!

"Hua!" Where the gun tip passed, even the extremely stable space of this place rippled slightly.

Whoosh! The long spear stopped, and the spatial ripples lingered for a long time before finally coming to a complete halt.

"Haha, success at last!"

"Success!" Li Yuan sheathed his long spear, and his eyes shone with joy and excitement, "After cultivating on the Divine Emperor Island for over two years, I have finally perfectly combined the mysteries of the three fundamental laws and exhausted my current comprehension. I've created this eighth style of the World Cloud Gun Technique."

"Now, in terms of technique mysteries, I am no less than Lianyun Demigod, Dongpan, and those other peerless Demi-Gods."

The eighth style of the World Cloud Gun Technique, its mysteries had reached the initial stage of True God, comparable to the realm of many newly ascended True Gods.

During the Ancestral Realm War, Li Yuan relied on his absolute powerful Origin Power and soul attacks to dominate everything.

If only discussing the mysteries of physical techniques, he couldn't compare to those peerless Demi-Gods.

After all, his cultivation journey was short.

Now, he had finally made up for it.

"However, to comprehend the ninth style of the World Cloud Gun Technique, it will likely take a very long time." Li Yuan thought to himself, "I must break through all three fundamental laws to have any hope."

Whoosh!

Silently, a white-clad figure appeared in the void, her face filled with a smile.

"Star Senior." Li Yuan bowed deeply.

"I never imagined you would grasp the Ethereal Deity Level secret technique so quickly, even with the guidance of the Master's heritage. It's truly incredible, as I thought it would take you at least seven or eight years." The woman in the black robe smiled. "You indeed have astonishing talent in combining the three fundamental laws."

"I've only just stepped into the Ethereal Deity Level." Li Yuan shook his head. "And the further I go, the more challenging it becomes."

Li Yuan's cultivation journey was different from that of ordinary powerful cultivators.

For cultivators who comprehend the mysteries of a single fundamental law, like Dong Pan, creating or comprehending combat techniques based on the intricacies of a single law is relatively easy and carefree.

For cultivators like Jing Kui, they combine the mysteries of the Lightning Law and the Space Law, increasing the difficulty by several folds.

In Li Yuan's case, where the mysteries of Earth, Wind, and Space Laws are intricately intertwined, the challenge becomes even more astonishing. It demands an immense amount of time and energy for research. In reality, Li Yuan's understanding of the Space Law remains at the eighth level of the intermediate stage, while his grasp of the Earth and Wind Laws is still at the eighth level of the initial stage.

The time required to comprehend these laws increases exponentially as one progresses.

According to Li Yuan's knowledge, his senior brother Jiang Yuan had spent over two hundred years to thoroughly comprehend the Fire Law, reaching the eighth level of the perfect stage.

Then, he dedicated nearly another two hundred years to perfect his understanding.

However, despite the seemingly unchanged law comprehension, Li Yuan's gun techniques have been rapidly advancing.

From the initial "Jie Yun Qiang" Sixth Style during his first battle in the Ancestral Realm, he has now progressed to the "Jie Yun Qiang" Eighth Style.

Why?

It's because the efficiency of his law combination has finally caught up with the speed of his law comprehension.

One is about foundation, and the other is about potential!

Now, they have truly aligned.

"The path of combining laws is indeed challenging." The woman in the black robe spoke. "But the potential is equally astonishing."

"Many Heavenly Deities focus on a single fundamental law, incorporating only a slight understanding of the Space Law, and their ultimate secret techniques reach the second and third levels of the Heavenly Deity. This is their limit." She continued, "But if multiple laws are combined, there's a real possibility of creating secret techniques at the fourth and even fifth levels of the Heavenly Deity."

"A fifth-level secret technique of the Heavenly Deity is considered the pinnacle of the Heavenly Deity level, and beyond that lies the realm of the Divine King."

Li Yuan listened intently.

Apparently, the secret techniques of the Heavenly Deities are categorized into five levels?

However, this is still far from his reach.

"Ordinary Heavenly Deities, if they create secret techniques based on a single fundamental law, will find it challenging to incorporate the mysteries of other laws. Their cognition is already set." The woman in the black robe explained. "But in your case, with your current grasp of three fundamental laws, reaching the pinnacle of the Heavenly Deity level will be much easier."

"You might even create Divine King level secret techniques in the Heavenly Deity realm." The woman in the black robe smiled.

Li Yuan was speechless. Divine King level secret techniques?

He had just stepped into the Ethereal Deity Level.

"The greatest enemy on this path is time." The woman in the black robe sighed. "Many Ethereal Deities are aware of the benefits of comprehending multiple fundamental laws, but their lifespan is only three hundred thousand years... Even grasping a single fundamental law is difficult."

"After all, even if one creates secret techniques at the Heavenly Deity level, without thoroughly comprehending the fundamental laws, they cannot become a Heavenly Deity."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

Secret techniques and law comprehension are distinct.

For instance, Dong Pan, the Ethereal Deity, bases his techniques on a single fundamental law. If he wishes, he can swiftly advance to the next level.

But what about Li Yuan?

His comprehension of the Earth Law is only at the eighth level of the initial stage... He must reach the eighth level of the perfect stage in the Earth Law to break through.

For countless Ethereal Deities, thoroughly comprehending a single fundamental law is the first and most crucial step.

"So-called peerless genius."

"Rapid cultivation is just one aspect. The most important thing is to set your sights far from the beginning, aiming for the Divine King realm or even the lofty Divine Emperor realm." The woman in the black robe said. "At the very least, you are currently on the most correct path."

"Next, in addition to practicing your gun techniques, you should also strive to enter the Ethereal Deity realm as soon as possible."

"The Ten-Star Meridian is your highest goal in the Demi-God stage."

"Junior understands." Li Yuan responded respectfully.

The stronger the secret techniques and the higher the law comprehension, the more it influences and strengthens the soul, awakening more life stars...

Every aspect of cultivation is interconnected.

"To meet the Master's requirements and become an Inner Disciple is the minimum expectation." The woman in the black robe smiled. "You have three months until the Celestial Star Pill refinement. Continue your cultivation."

Whoosh!

Her figure dissipated.

"Becoming an Inner Disciple is the minimum expectation?"

"Li Yuan sighed inwardly, 'What exactly does the Celestial Star Emperor Master require? It seems only a Divine King barely meets the requirements.'

Then, Li Yuan stopped pondering further.

Divine King? That's too far-fetched.

'It's more realistic to focus on awakening the Ten-Star Vein,' Li Yuan calmed his mind and continued his cultivation in the square.

Understanding the Laws, refining his gun techniques...

Using the Heart Illusion Six Realms and the Dream Realm Inscription Stones to temper his soul and willpower, constantly exploring the mysteries of the soul...

Material and soul, Li Yuan was determined not to give up on either path.

Multitasking, he continued his deductions.

'My energy is a bit lacking,' Li Yuan thought inwardly. 'I wonder how Liu Bing is doing, still waiting in the Heavenly Serpent Ancient City.'

Although he couldn't communicate with Liu Bing through soul transmission, Li Yuan could vaguely sense through their soul connection that Liu Bing was still in this realm and hadn't left.

...

While Li Yuan was in secluded cultivation on the Divine Emperor Island, in another mysterious place, there was an incredibly wide passage, with numerous fallen beast scales on both sides.

Here, it was like the lair of a terrifying ferocious beast.

Whoosh!

Liu Bing was slowly making her way through the passage.

"I wonder how Big Brother is doing."

"During the Ancestral Plane Origin assessment, everyone else has failed and left. But I haven't seen Big Brother at all," Liu Bing thought inwardly. "I thought I would see him elsewhere, but even after breaking through six layers, I haven't encountered him."

If it weren't for the faint sense of Li Yuan's soul essence she felt, Liu Bing would have been infinitely worried.

Calming herself, Liu Bing thought, "I wonder what the test for this seventh layer will be." She was filled with vigilance.

Although the first six layers didn't pose a life-threatening danger, they were extremely torturous, especially the fifth and sixth layers, which were like nightmares. She pushed herself to the limit before finally breaking through and passing them.

As for the others? Even the strongest among them, Ning Chi, had only reached the sixth layer.

The Ancestral Plane's core assessment didn't solely rely on strength.

Up to now, among the eight Ancestral Realm Token holders, excluding Li Yuan, only Liu Bing had reached the seventh layer.

Suddenly—

Liu Bing entered a vast cave, and her eyes immediately locked onto a massive object in the distance, causing her to freeze in surprise.

"Roar~"

A deep voice echoed through the cave, belonging to a colossal green flying serpent shadow.

Its size was dozens of times larger than Liu Bing, and the aura it exuded was profoundly majestic. Even as a shadow, it seemed like an embodiment of the Great Dao's origin.

Its appearance was about ninety percent similar to Liu Bing's.

"Wang Jing."

"Yes, Wang Jing." Liu Bing held her breath as she gazed at the enormous flying serpent shadow's head, which seemed to have a dazzling green crystal embedded in it, appearing sacred and ethereal.

"The Ancestor?"

"Liu Bing, I pay my respects to the Ancestor," Liu Bing prostrated herself, her heart filled with excitement and confusion.

Was it truly the Ancestor?

"I, the Sky Blue Divine King," the colossal flying serpent shadow spoke slowly, looking down at Liu Bing. "I left behind this heritage, and only my bloodline can obtain it... My child, your passing of the first six layers proves that you are among the most outstanding of the Sacred Blood Heavenly Serpents."

"You have the potential to reach the Half-Deity Nine-Star Vein, and even the level of Physical Body Immortality."

"Are you willing to receive my heritage?" asked the Sky Blue Divine King's shadow.

The Sky Blue Divine King?

Liu Bing was stunned. She naturally knew the name of the Ancestor.

Was it truly the Ancestor?

"Ancestor, I am willing," Liu Bing replied softly, bowing her head. Her entire body felt numb.

Liu Bing never expected to encounter the legendary Ancestor Divine King, the greatest figure in the history of the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

...

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred days had passed.

Whoosh! On this day, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, still deeply immersed in comprehending the Five Volumes of Space.

Suddenly—

Whoosh! A white-robed figure appeared out of thin air.

"Star Senior," Li Yuan sensed her presence and immediately stood up to pay respects.

"One million Celestial Star Pills have been refined. Take them," the white-robed woman said, flipping her palm, and a storage treasure appeared in the air, slowly descending in front of Li Yuan.

Li Yuan reached out and took it, infusing his consciousness to immediately sense the million Celestial Star Pills within, like a mountain.

One million Celestial Star Pills!! This was one of the foundations for the rise of the Seven Star Civilization.

"Do you wish to continue cultivating on the Divine Emperor Island or leave?" asked the white-robed woman.

"Leave," Li Yuan replied.

For some reason, Li Yuan's heart was filled with longing... It had been fifteen years since he left the Seven Star Civilization.

The white-robed woman smiled slightly, said no more, and with a light wave of her hand, Li Yuan disappeared from the square under an invisible force.
