Chapter 503: The God's Generous Gift (120,000 words) (Part 1)





"Me? Bowing? Isn't his name Xu Yuan? Why is he called Li Yuan now?" Even though Zhuang Long, an Ethereal Immortal, was well-versed and experienced, his mind was in a bit of disarray at this moment, filled with numerous doubts.

However, he reacted swiftly and bowed, saying, "Zhuang Long, I pay my respects to Li Yuan, the Divine Son."

"Brother Zhuang Long, let's each stick to our own roles. You can continue to address me as Li Yuan," Li Yuan smiled and said, "I have just arrived in the Divine Realm, and I don't have many friends. But Brother Zhuang Long, you are a person worth befriending."

Zhuang Long's straightforward personality impressed Li Yuan.

"Zhuang Long, Li Yuan, the Divine Son, holds you in such high regard. You should remember this," said Hongkai, the True Immortal, who was standing beside them.

"Yes," Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, nodded repeatedly.

In front of his teacher and the Star Domain Inspector, he no longer displayed the boldness he had when fighting across the four directions. Instead, he became as obedient as a well-behaved child.

Seeing this, Li Yuan didn't say anything further.

"Li Yuan, your disguise is quite powerful. If I hadn't remembered your soul's aura, I might not have recognized you just now," said Nielake, the True Immortal, with a smile as he looked at Li Yuan.

"It's just a minor trick, please don't laugh at me, Inspector," Li Yuan smiled and with a thought, removed the concealment provided by the Dreamstone.

The Dreamstone's ability to disguise one's aura was not absolutely perfect and had two major flaws.

First, it couldn't hide from True Gods who had complete control over the Great Dao.

Second, if the opponent had seen Li Yuan's soul state beforehand, it would be much harder to conceal it.

This was the reason why Nielake, the True Immortal, recognized Li Yuan at a glance.

After all, he was a True Immortal at the peak of his power, and he had previously projected his consciousness into the North Hill Mortal Domain, where he had communicated with Li Yuan and sensed his soul's aura.

"So, you're a Demigod?" Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, had expected this, but he still felt a bit surprised.

After all, while one's soul's aura could be concealed, one's strength couldn't be faked.

Li Yuan's previous display of domain techniques and soul attacks as an 'Ethereal Immortal' had left Zhuang Long in awe, but he could still barely understand it... Now he learned that Li Yuan was actually a Demigod!

A Demigod, capable of subjugating a True Immortal with a single soul attack?

"Is this the legendary Purple Robe Divine Son?" Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, marveled silently.

Zhuang Long had only heard about the Purple Robe Divine Son but had never seen him before.

In the Great Rock God Kingdom, there were still quite a few Purple Robe True Immortals, so they weren't too rare.

However, the last time a Purple Robe Divine Son was born was tens of thousands of years ago.

"Zhuang Long, what exactly happened?" Hongkai, the True Immortal, asked, "Where is the Blood Talisman True Immortal? Inspector Nielake and I received a notification from the God Kingdom's inspection system, stating that the Blood Talisman True Immortal's 'Divine Spirit Incarnation had dissipated,' suggesting that he might have perished. We also found his teleportation array activation record, so we rushed here as soon as possible."

"There are hundreds of star systems around here that we are responsible for inspecting," Hongkai, the True Immortal, added.

Evidently, the Great Rock God Kingdom had an astonishing level of control over its territories.

A True Immortal at the initial stage had fallen, and in a short time, a True Immortal at the peak of his power had been dispatched.

Li Yuan finally understood why they had arrived so quickly; it seemed they weren't too far away.

Otherwise, if they had come all the way from the capital of the Great Rock God Kingdom, which was millions of light-years away, it would have taken at least eight hours to travel through the star system's teleportation array.

"I killed the Blood Talisman True Immortal," Li Yuan stated directly.

"Teacher, Inspector," Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, also said, "Li Yuan, the Divine Son, and I were passing through here without revealing our true identities. While waiting for the teleportation array, we encountered... In the end, the Blood Talisman True Immortal was slain by Li Yuan, the Divine Son."

Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, quickly explained the entire situation without hiding anything.

After listening, Nielake and Hongkai, the True Immortals, exchanged a glance, both feeling slightly surprised.

With a single strike, the Blood Talisman True Immortal had been killed.

"So, this incident just happened recently?" Nielake, the True Immortal, asked softly, "I'll take a look."

Whoosh!

Nielake, the True Immortal, waved his hand, and instantly, a vast wave enveloped the area within a thousand kilometers.

A large number of slightly illusory scenes appeared before the group.

Whoosh~ It was as if time was flowing backward, and countless illusory scenes overlapped, revealing events that had occurred not long ago... But all the events were happening in reverse.

"Time reversal?" Zhuang Long, the Ethereal Immortal, had a hint of awe in his eyes. This was a legendary spell.

"The Light of Time Reversal Spell," Li Yuan understood in his heart, "It seems that Inspector Nielake is indeed remarkable in his mastery of spatial laws. He just performed Void Teleportation, and now he's using the Light of Time Reversal Spell."

These two abilities, if possessed by a Sky God, could be easily executed with their complete control over the Great Dao.

But for a True Immortal, it required an extremely high level of comprehension in spatial laws, specifically in the two major aspects of 'Boundless Domain' and 'Spatial Objects.'

There were five major aspects of spatial laws.

'Spatial Cutting' was best for direct material attacks and close-range escapes.

'World' was best for creating domains and opening up new worlds.

'Boundless Domain' was best for mirror domains, void domains, and void teleportation, similar to how teleportation arrays were based on the mysteries of 'Boundless Domain.'

'Spatial Objects' was best for particle construction, void creation, cultivating spatial clones, tracing back to the origin of the void, and investigation.

'Real and Unreal' involved the fundamentals of the soul, and once mastered, the created Soul Realm would be the most expansive.

The path of space was vast and endless, serving as the root of all paths. With a basic understanding of the five major aspects, one could rival the comprehension of a foundational law (10th stage).

If one could comprehend any one of these aspects, they would be considered at the 11th stage of law comprehension, far surpassing the control of a single Great Dao, and they would be considered extremely powerful even among Sky Gods.

If one could master the laws of space, they would have the potential to reach the legendary level of a Divine King.

Li Yuan, for example, had previously comprehended 'Spatial Cutting' and 'World,' and he had gained some insight into the 'Real and Unreal' aspect.

"It just happened a short while ago."

"Inspector Nielake shouldn't have any trouble investigating," Li Yuan thought to himself.

To cast the Light of Time Reversal Spell, one needed a high level of comprehension in spatial laws.

Most True Immortals could only trace back minor events within a day or two... And that was without interference from other powerful beings.

As the space-attuned strong cultivator intentionally disrupts the spatial fluctuations, the challenge of casting the Backflow Technique becomes more difficult.

......

The sound of rustling leaves accompanies the activation of the technique.

When Li Yuan sees Liu Bing appearing on his chest, a green leaf directly kills the Blood Talisman True Immortal.

"What? What kind of treasure is this?" Huangkai True Immortal looks on, his eyes filled with confusion.

Nielake True Immortal remains composed on the surface, but his mind is filled with astonishment: "Could it be... the legendary Shattered Leaf? How did such a treasure of laws appear in the hands of a flying snake?"

"Could this treasure belong to the flying snake? Otherwise, why would Li Yuan summon it?" Nielake True Immortal's mind races with various thoughts.

The two True Immortals become increasingly curious about Li Yuan.

The void continues to rewind.

The scene of Blood Talisman True Immortal taking action unfolds... until Li Yuan and Zhuang Long are attacked...

All the truth is revealed.

"This Blood Talisman True Immortal, as the General guarding the star system and holding the military power of a star system, secretly ordered the troops to ambush the passing Void Deities. He deserves death!" Huangkai True Immortal's face darkens as he speaks to Li Yuan, "Li Yuan, I'm sorry you had to witness this."

"It's fine, Huangkai," Li Yuan replies, not particularly happy.

The loss this time is significant.

The treasure Liu Bing used, even if a True Immortal at their limit spent all their wealth and treasures, might not be enough to acquire it.

"Alright."

"Huangkai, since you've already investigated, we'll each write an investigation report and submit it through the Heart Dream Realm," Nielake True Immortal instructs, "As for the follow-up cleanup and further investigation, I'll leave it to you."

The Blood Talisman True Immortal, who ordered the ambush on the passing Void Deities, wouldn't limit it to just this team.

But with thorough investigation, they will surely uncover the truth.

"I will definitely investigate and report back to the Inspection Department," Huangkai True Immortal nods.

In reality, his status is much lower than that of Nielake True Immortal.

"Li Yuan."

"I'll send you to the Divine Court branch on Great Boulder Star," Nielake True Immortal says, "This way, you can also cultivate at the Divine Court headquarters."

"Okay," Li Yuan agrees.

With a True Immortal at their limit escorting him, the journey is extremely safe... and Li Yuan trusts this person.

If even a Purple Robe True Immortal can't be trusted, who can?

"Huangkai, we'll chat in the Dream Domain later," Li Yuan smiles.

"Mhm," Huangkai True Immortal nods.

"Farewell, Zhuang Long. We'll meet again when I return to the Mo River Star Domain," Li Yuan smiles.

Li Yuan, hailing from the Northern Mundane Realm, is considered to be from the Mo River Star Domain.

As a Purple Robe Divine Son, if he becomes a True God in the future, he will typically return to his home star domain to assume an official position in the Divine Court.

"Okay, I'll wait for Li Yuan to return," Zhuang Long Void Deity replies.

Whoosh~

Nielake True Immortal releases an invisible force, enveloping Li Yuan. With a flash of light, the two of them appear in a teleportation formation tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Accompanied by a soaring light, the two disappear within the formation.

A normal teleportation formation consumes a large amount of divine crystals with each activation, so they are used sparingly... But for a powerful True Immortal like Nielake True Immortal, such expenses are of no concern.

In the void.

Only Huangkai True Immortal and Zhuang Long Void Deity remain.

"Disciple, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Your trip outside has likely brought you many tribulations, and this ambush by the black-robed army is one of them. It's one of your trials," Huangkai True Immortal sighs, "But it's also your fortune that you met Li Yuan, an extraordinary genius."

"If he truly acknowledges you." Huangkai True Immortal speaks solemnly, "In the future, you might even surpass your teacher."

"What?" Zhuang Long Void Deity is taken aback.

In his understanding, Purple Robe Divine Sons are extraordinary, but they shouldn't be this powerful.

"Li Yuan is exceptional," Zhuang Long Void Deity can't help but say, "But even if he becomes a True God, it'll likely be just that. Even if he becomes a Sky God, who knows how long it will take."

"Wrong!"

"Disciple, what you know is about ordinary Purple Robe Divine Sons." Huangkai True Immortal explains, "But Purple Robe Divine Sons and Purple Robe Divine Sons... there's a difference."

"About half of them?" Zhuang Long Void Deity is stunned, "Shouldn't such super geniuses be heavily protected?"

He can't imagine it.

In the Divine Court branches, some powerful Silver Robe Demi-Gods receive special protection.

"The cultivation mindset of the Divine Court headquarters and our star domain are different," Huangkai True Immortal sighs, "For our branch, having the potential of a True Immortal is worth nurturing... But for the high-ranking officials of the Divine Court headquarters, a True Immortal, even a True Immortal at their limit, holds no meaning."

"At least they should be able to become Sky Gods to have some value."

Zhuang Long Void Deity is shocked by these revelations, which his teacher rarely shared in the past.

Today's detailed explanation is likely due to the connection with 'Li Yuan.'

"If one doesn't undergo numerous tempering trials, they can't transform, even if they're Purple Robe Divine Sons, they might not become Sky Gods," Huangkai True Immortal sighs, "Even so, of the remaining half, only about half can become Sky Gods."

"Half?"

"In other words, only one-fourth of Purple Robe Divine Sons ultimately become Sky Gods?" Zhuang Long Void Deity is secretly amazed.

This probability is already unimaginable to him.

After all, in the Mo River Star Domain, even tens of thousands of True Immortals might not produce a single Sky God.

Sky Gods, with their sheer numbers, even if their success rate is extremely low, the total number is still astonishing.

"But this is just a summary of the overall data of Purple Robe Divine Sons."

"For truly extraordinary individuals, it's different," Huangkai True Immortal explains, "This Li Yuan, is the most outstanding among Purple Robe Divine Sons."

"The most outstanding?" Zhuang Long Void Deity is stunned.

To him, any Purple Robe Divine Son is a legendary figure.

"I'm not clear about his specific talents," Huangkai True Immortal admits.

"Hongkai True Immortal said, "But I only know this much. He hails from a mundane realm, has cultivated for less than a century, and has never trained at the Divine Court headquarters."

Zhuang Long, the Void Deity, was completely shocked.

He had assumed that Li Yuan was an extraordinary genius who had trained at the Divine Court headquarters for hundreds of years.

Now it seems that he cultivated in the harshest of mundane realms, and his cultivation journey has been so brief... A monster!

"Do you understand now? He's most likely from the Nine Star Lineage," Hongkai True Immortal said.

Nine Star Lineage? Zhuang Long, the Void Deity, was less surprised now.

"My guess is correct," he said.

"Li Yuan's talent is probably second only to the legendary 'Ten Star Lineage Myth,'" Hongkai True Immortal said solemnly. "Even with the protection of the Divine Court headquarters, his chances of becoming a Sky Deity are ninety-nine percent. And once he succeeds, he will likely be an exceptionally powerful Sky Deity."

"He has the potential to rival the Lotus Devil Divine King," Hongkai True Immortal said.

Even with all that he already knew, Zhuang Long, the Void Deity, was still somewhat stunned when he heard this.

The Lotus Devil Divine King!

He was the legend of the Mo River Star Domain, recognized as the strongest in the entire star domain!

"A normal Purple Robed Divine Son, even if he becomes a Sky Deity, would need at least a few thousand years," Hongkai True Immortal said. "But Li Yuan... might become a Sky Deity in less than a thousand years."

"When he returns to the Mo River Star Domain, he will be the third monarch of the Great Rock Divine Kingdom," he continued.

"The future!"

"If he becomes a Divine King, that Lotus Devil Divine King is already over two hundred thousand years old," Hongkai True Immortal said with a smile. "He will inevitably step aside. The future of the Great Rock Divine Kingdom is beyond imagination."

"And he's from a mundane realm, not from a major clan. If given the chance..." Hongkai True Immortal thought of his own disciple.

"Teacher," Zhuang Long said.

"It's too far! Too far!" Zhuang Long shook his head with a bitter smile. "When I interacted with him before, I didn't think so much. I just thought he had decent strength and a good heart."

"Moreover, we only met by chance. I dare not ask for more," Zhuang Long, the Void Deity, said. "I should focus on my own cultivation."

"Becoming a True Immortal is my next goal," he added.

Hongkai True Immortal couldn't help but smile.

Among his many disciples, Zhuang Long wasn't the most talented, but he was Hongkai's favorite because of his personality.

"Alright," Hongkai True Immortal said.

"Come with me to see Wanlong first. That little White Furred Beast hasn't been seen for a long time. He should know something," Hongkai True Immortal said.

...

With a flash of light, Li Yuan and Nielake True Immortal emerged from the teleportation array.

"What a prosperous city," Li Yuan exclaimed as he looked around. This city was far more prosperous than any Divine Realm planet he had seen before.

Perhaps only Jue Xing Ancient City in the Jue Xing Continent could surpass it.

"Nielake True Immortal, is this Great Boulder Star?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"No," Nielake True Immortal smiled and said, "This is one of the nine 'Special Administrative Cities' of the Divine Kingdom, 'Qian Chao City'. We're here to transfer and take the star domain teleportation array."

"Star Domain Teleportation Array?" Li Yuan nodded.

Teleportation arrays are divided into many levels.

There are galaxy teleportation arrays, star domain teleportation arrays, and the highest, the cosmic teleportation array.

The former two can be easily set up by many major forces.
