Chapter 505: 3829 God Kings! Nine Heavens Palace (7K)



"The cultivation methods of the Divine Emperor level?" Gaoyang was taken aback and shook his head. "Divine Son, you're joking. In the history of the Starlight Divine Court, only three Divine Emperors have ever been born. The cultivation methods of the Divine Emperor level... How precious are they?"

"Perhaps there are Divine Emperor level cultivation methods in the Triarch Palace, but there are none in the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace."

"Even for Demigods, obtaining a God King cultivation method is already extremely rare?" Gaoyang said solemnly.

Li Yuan nodded. If it were in the outside world, a single God King cultivation method would likely incite numerous Sky Deities to fight to the death.

In the headquarters of the Chaos Divine Court, the fact that Demigods could learn here was already unimaginable.

Li Yuan waved his hand, and a green flying snake emerged from his arm, "Xiao Bing, you can come out now too."

"Big brother, I've been cooped up for too long," Liu Bing complained.

Li Yuan smiled and nodded. On the way here with the Sky Deity, he hadn't released Liu Bing.

He had only kept her inside the Dongtian Magical Treasure.

"This is the Golden Robed member, 'Liu Bing', right?" Gaoyang smiled as he noticed her.

"You know me?" Liu Bing was curious, as she hadn't come out before.

"When Li Yuan Divine Son passed through the Star Gate, the gate already sensed your identity token through the Dongtian Magical Treasure," Gaoyang smiled. "Source Fire Deity has also recorded your life essence."

"Since you didn't come out at that time, I didn't rush you either," Gaoyang said.

Liu Bing nodded. She wasn't too concerned, after all, Li Yuan was entering Source Mars, and the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace was the first major destination.

"Unless it's a Sky Deity Artifact, even the most advanced True God Artifacts can't completely conceal the life essence within," Gaoyang added.

"So..."

"Divine Son, there are still many lives in your Dongtian Magical Treasure," Gaoyang said. "They can stay in your Dongtian Magical Treasure without issue... But they absolutely cannot come out. Once they do, they will be instantly sensed by the Source Fire Deity and killed."

"Even Sky Deity powerhouses, without the token, dare not appear, or they will be considered invaders and killed," Gaoyang said solemnly.

Liu Bing, as a holder of the Golden Robe Token, was naturally safe.

"I understand," Li Yuan nodded. In the Ancient God Palace, many Void Deities and Demigods from the Immortal Civilization lived.

Li Yuan didn't want to release them in the Mo River Star Domain.

However, having promised them a way to live, Li Yuan, being true to his character, wouldn't break his promise.

"Divine Son, Liu Bing, follow me into the second layer," Gaoyang said.

Liu Bing wrapped herself around Li Yuan's arm and followed Gaoyang, flying past rows of bookshelves, quickly entering the second layer of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace.

In the second layer, the number of jade books was significantly fewer.

"The cultivation methods that remain in the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace are all well-established," Gaoyang sighed. "Like the cultivation methods in the first layer, they must be able to cultivate to the peak of True God... Similarly, the cultivation methods in the second layer must be able to cultivate to the level of Sky Deities. Incomplete and unsystematic cultivation methods won't be placed here."

"Over the long years, the second layer has collected approximately 1.8 million Sky Deity-level cultivation methods. Of course, the majority are created and left behind by Divine Emperors and God Kings."

Li Yuan's heart was filled with admiration.

1.8 million methods?

These cultivation methods, any one of them, if placed in the Mundane Realm's top-tier or some Low Rank God Kingdoms in the Divine Realm, would be qualified to become the clan's supreme cultivation method. Only the most exceptional geniuses would have the qualification to learn them.

"Such profound heritage," Li Yuan sighed inwardly, his gaze sweeping over numerous Silver Robed Demigods browsing through the jade books, searching for their desired cultivation methods.

Whoosh!

Liu Bing flew out, her divine perception sensing the jade books.

Each jade book contained a small amount of information about the cultivation methods, making it convenient for Demigods to decide whether to learn them or not.

"Big brother, these cultivation methods, even in the Sky Serpent Clan, are top-tier methods," Liu Bing couldn't help but transmit her voice.

"Mhm," Li Yuan nodded.

"Purple Robed Divine Sons and Golden Robed Demigods can learn them for free," Gaoyang said.

"Here, the cultivation methods are so complete that even with limited lifespans, no one can truly finish learning them all," Gaoyang said.

Li Yuan nodded. In his Dongtian Magical Treasure, there were many cultivation methods, and there were corresponding cultivation guides... But for now, he was only learning a few of them.

Greedily taking on too much would only lead to failure.

"The third layer is the true treasure trove," Gaoyang said. "However, only Purple Robed Divine Sons are qualified to enter; Golden Robed Demigods don't have the qualifications."

"Golden Robed Demigods aren't qualified?" Liu Bing glared.

"The third layer is for God King-level cultivation methods, even more precious than Sky Deity methods," Gaoyang shook his head. "This is a rule left by the Divine Emperor, and no one can go against it."

"If we can't learn them, we can't. Who cares?" Liu Bing grumbled. "Wait until I become a Purple Robed Divine Son, and I'll ask you to take me there to learn."

Currently, she was just a Golden Robed member, but she also had the hope of becoming a Purple Robed Divine Son.

"Xiao Bing, you can wait here," Li Yuan said.

"Okay, big brother," Liu Bing nodded and transformed into a stream of light, diving into the rows of bookshelves in the second layer.

Whoosh!

Gaoyang led Li Yuan, flying all the way to the entrance of the third layer.

At the entrance, there were two terrifyingly powerful Sky Deity puppets standing guard.

The two puppets looked like dragons, positioned on both sides of the staircase.

"They are Sky Deity puppets," Gaoyang transmitted. "Guarding this place, Divine Son, don't provoke them."

Li Yuan was surprised by the Sky Deity puppets.

The more powerful the puppet, the more difficult it was to create, with the difficulty increasing exponentially.

Sky Deity puppets? In the entire Divine Realm, there were probably only a few that could be created.

The most precious aspect of puppets was their absolute loyalty and immortality.

Sky Deities lived for 300,000 years, but a Sky Deity puppet, if well-preserved, could maintain itself indefinitely.

One of the Sky Deity puppets seemed to sense something and opened its eyes upon noticing Li Yuan, then closed them again.

Following Gaoyang, Li Yuan entered the third layer.

Whoosh!

As soon as they stepped into the third layer, the space transformed, as if they had entered another world.

On the vast land.

"Divine Son, please look ahead," Gaoyang said, pointing forward. Here, instead of rows of bookshelves, there were majestic statues standing tall on the vast land.

These statues were mostly human-shaped, but there were also beast-shaped ones, plant-shaped ones, and even some very unique forms, such as a wisp of smoke, a ball of flame, and a miniature star... Each of them exuded an incredibly powerful will, as if they were living beings.

That overwhelming will, seemingly eternal and indestructible, constantly bombarded Li Yuan's soul.

"Statues of Divine Kings."

"Every statue here was left behind by a Divine King." Gaoyang spoke slowly, "Over the long years, since the founding of the Chaos Divine Court by the Chaos Divine Emperor, each generation of Divine Kings would leave behind a statue."

"Each statue contains their legacy and teachings."

"Even Divine Kings have their end. After tens of millions of years, most Divine Kings have perished, but the number of statues here continues to grow."

"Up till now, there are 3829 statues of Divine Kings."

"This is one of the most important foundations of our Divine Court." Gaoyang spoke solemnly, "In fact, the third layer of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace is not on Source Mars, but in another space-time... Besides the Purple Robe Divine Son, the Sky Gods of the Divine Court, after paying a great price, can also come here to study the teachings of the Divine Kings."

Li Yuan stood there, quietly sensing the thousands of Divine King statues.

These Divine Kings came from different races and understood different laws and paths.

But in the end, they all reached the highest levels, becoming supreme powerhouses of their era...

"Becoming a Divine King is truly difficult." Li Yuan sighed.

"It is indeed challenging." Gaoyang echoed.

3829 statues of Divine Kings, a large number... But it's important to know that these are the accumulation of tens of millions of years in the Chaos Divine Court.

"The Chaos Divine Court, in its vast expanse, has tens of thousands of Sky Gods in each era. With good luck, one or two Divine Kings might be born. With bad luck, not even a single Divine King emerges." Gaoyang sighed, "In the Divine Realm, an era spans 300,000 years."

For Source Mars, on average, a Purple Robe Demigod is born every 15 years, resulting in about 20,000 Purple Robe Demigods in an era.

In an era, among the Purple Robe Demigods alone, approximately 5000 Sky Gods are born.

The Chaos Divine Court is vast, with numerous Golden Robe Demigods and talents cultivated by various major departments... Demigod is just a stage, and many powerful beings continue to progress after attaining godhood.

On average, the Chaos Divine Court gives birth to tens of thousands of Sky Gods in an era.

On average, out of ten thousand Sky Gods, becoming a Divine King is a formidable challenge.

At this moment, Li Yuan faintly understood why even meeting a Divine Emperor was beyond his reach... The gap was simply too vast.

He also understood why the Heartdream Emperor and Perception Star Emperor, despite their long years of effort, had never succeeded.

Becoming a Divine King from a Sky God is difficult.

Becoming a Divine Emperor from a Divine King is even more challenging.

"The Chaos Divine Court has three Divine Emperors. The Chaos Divine Emperor is the founder, and the Heartdream Emperor is the oldest." Li Yuan whispered, "In other words, among the thousands of Divine Kings born in the Chaos Divine Court... Only the Perception Star Emperor, under the cultivation system of the Chaos Divine Court, managed to transcend from the Divine King realm to the Divine Emperor realm."

One can imagine how low the probability is.

"These statues contain teachings and legacies." Gaoyang continued, "Teachings, like the one you, as a Divine Son, can learn for free."

"Learning a second teaching will cost ten billion Heartdream Currency."

"Learning a third teaching will cost a hundred billion Heartdream Currency."

"Learning a fourth teaching will cost a thousand billion Heartdream Currency."

"Learning a fifth teaching will require ten thousand billion Heartdream Currency." Gaoyang said, "You can learn up to five teachings."

Li Yuan was stunned.

This is too exaggerated, right?! He himself only had one billion Heartdream Currency, and it was a gift from the Great Rock Sky God.

"Divine Son, don't think it's expensive." Gaoyang said, "If you come to learn after becoming a Sky God, even the first teaching will cost a thousand billion Heartdream Currency."

"The teachings of Divine Kings, no matter the price, are worth it." Gaoyang stated.

Li Yuan calmed down.

Being only a Demigod now, he naturally found it expensive.

But the Sky Gods are powerful, dominating the Divine Realm, and their wealth and treasures are abundant.

Demigods usually learn one or two teachings of Divine Kings.

"Of course, there's another way, which is to obtain a legacy." Gaoyang said, "When the Divine Kings left behind their statues, they also left their legacies. Legacies often contain various teachings of Divine Kings, as a single Divine King usually creates multiple teachings... But to obtain a legacy, one must meet the requirements of a Divine King... It's extremely challenging."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, understanding that teachings and legacies are distinct.

For example, the 《Heart Illusion Six Realms》 and 《Soul Chant》 that he obtained are teachings, which he must slowly ponder and comprehend.

On the other hand, the 《Perception Star Scripture》 is a legacy, encompassing various aspects, and the 《Five Volumes of the Stars》 and 《Seven Volumes of All Things》 even include cultivation guidance left by a Divine Emperor... Their value is countless times greater than a single teaching.

"Legacies are encounters, and you can only obtain the legacy of one Divine King." Gaoyang smiled, "After all, most Divine Kings have passed away, and each time their statues impart their inner essence, the guidance within diminishes.

"I understand." Li Yuan said, "Later, when I have time, I'll come back to explore, let's go to the next place."

"Okay."

...

Upon returning to the second layer, Li Yuan sent a soul transmission to Liu Bing, summoning her, "Xiao Bing, after we come back to study, let's first tour the entire Source Mars."

"Mhm." Liu Bing nodded repeatedly. With the legacy of the Heavenly Qing Divine King, her need for teachings wasn't that great.

Leaving the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace.

Gaoyang led the two of them through Source Mars, occasionally passing by the mansions of Golden Robe Demigods and Purple Robe Demigods, before soon arriving at a majestic mountain.

This mountain was shrouded in endless clouds and mist, but through the haze, one could vaguely see the divine light shimmering within.

"This mountain is called the Dao Treasure God Mountain, a very famous treasure site on Source Mars." Gaoyang spoke softly, "Over the long years, there's a custom where every Sky God and Divine King who emerged from Source Mars would leave behind some Dao Treasures in this mountain upon the end of their lives, for the benefit of their juniors."

"Purple Robe Demigods and Golden Robe Demigods can enter this mountain to seek treasures suitable for themselves."

"These Dao Treasures, to obtain, require fate."

"Treasures, those with fate will acquire them."

"Yinjiang, why are so many people gathered here?" Gaoyang asked, "Could it be that you all are here to challenge the Nine Heavens Palace?"

Clearly, as a Golden Robe Puppet who had been stationed on Source Mars for a long time, Gaoyang knew many Golden Robe Demi-Gods.

Gaoyang was somewhat puzzled. Normally, it was unusual for so many Golden Robe Demi-Gods to come together to challenge the Nine Heavens Palace.

After all, most Golden Robe Demi-Gods would only come to challenge the palace once every few years.

Under normal circumstances, there would be no need to queue up.

"No." The three-eyed youth named 'Yinjiang' said in a low voice, "Most of us are here because we heard that the 'Purple Robe Divine Son' is about to pass through the twelve realms of the Nine Heavens Palace. We want to witness this moment."

"Pass the twelfth realm? That little freak, Zephyr, is that strong already?" Gaoyang was slightly surprised.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing exchanged glances.

Is the twelfth realm that high? They were not yet aware of the difficulty of the Nine Heavens Palace.

"Who is Zephyr?" Li Yuan sent a mental message to Gaoyang.

"Divine Son, focus your divine sense on the stone tablet over there, and you will receive the corresponding information," Gaoyang replied via mental message.

Gaoyang also sent a similar message to Liu Bing.

Indeed, there was a massive stone tablet in front of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing immediately did as instructed, releasing a strand of divine sense to envelop the tablet. Instantly, a large amount of information surfaced in their minds.

It was a ranking list.

---

Nine Heavens Palace Ranking:

1. Zephyr (Purple Robe, 11 Realms)



2. Xuedian (Purple Robe, 11 Realms)



3. Feilan Ze (Purple Robe, 11 Realms)



4. Blood Universe (Purple Robe, 11 Realms)



5. Black Haogu (Purple Robe, 11 Realms)



6. Dongfang Ji (Purple Robe, 10 Realms)



...

12. Stone Qing (Golden Robe, 10 Realms)



13. Yufang (Purple Robe, 10 Realms)



...

21. Ning Chi (Golden Robe, 10 Realms)



...

100. Bone Axe (Golden Robe, 9 Realms)



...

This ranking list only displayed the top one hundred, but it was enough to give Li Yuan and Liu Bing a sense of the difficulty of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Apart from Li Yuan, out of the twenty-seven Purple Robe members, only five had passed the eleventh realm.

The rest had only passed the tenth realm.

Among the thousands of Golden Robe members, only three had passed the tenth realm, one of whom was Ning Chi. This indicated that passing the tenth realm was extremely difficult.

However, what truly delighted Li Yuan was the appearance of a name on this ranking list—Dongfang Ji.

"Alliance Leader Dongfang is ranked sixth, clearly very close to passing the eleventh realm," Li Yuan thought to himself.

In the talent-studded Source Mars, when it came to law comprehension and battle techniques, Dongfang Ji could rank sixth.

Just thinking about it made Li Yuan feel somewhat incredulous.

At that moment.

Boom!

The towering Nine Heavens Palace, at the twelfth level, suddenly burst into dazzling light.

This light was so brilliant that it could be seen from a distance of a million miles away.

At the same time, on the massive stone tablet in front of the Nine Heavens Palace, the specific ranking text appeared.

The top of the list had changed:

1. Zephyr (Purple Robe, 12 Realms)



2. Xuedian (Purple Robe, 11 Realms)



...

Zephyr, the Demi-God, had passed the twelfth realm of the Nine Heavens Palace.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing didn't have much of a reaction, but the surrounding Golden Robe Demi-Gods were already in a frenzy.

"He passed!"

"The twelfth realm!"

"Zephyr actually managed to pass? That's too freakish. I barely managed to pass the eighth realm."

"Really terrifying! The difficulty of the Nine Heavens Palace increases significantly as you progress."

"It's said that the twelfth realm represents battle techniques that rival the peak of True Deity. Doesn't that mean that once Zephyr, the Divine Son, breaks through, he will be a Peak True Deity?" The Golden Robe Demi-Gods discussed among themselves.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing listened.

"Brother, a Demi-God can have the comprehension of a Peak True Deity?" Liu Bing said, somewhat surprised.

"The twelfth level? Peak True Deity level?" Li Yuan was also startled and sent a mental message to Gaoyang, "Gaoyang, is this Zephyr Demi-God really that powerful?"

"Very powerful!"

"Divine Son Li Yuan," Gaoyang replied, "This Zephyr Divine Son is widely recognized as the top genius of Source Mars. In the three major trial grounds—Nine Heavens Palace, Heartdream Path, and Sourcefire Realm—he is the undisputed first!"

"He is a Nine-star Vein Demi-God, has cultivated a perfect star technique, has extremely high law comprehension, and a very strong soul will..."

"It is said he is a disciple of a Divine King," Gaoyang sighed. "But that's just a rumor... Divine Kings keep their disciples' identities secret until they become Sky Gods."

Li Yuan nodded slightly. From what he heard, this Zephyr Demi-God was indeed very powerful.

Looking at the entire Divine Realm, he was likely a strong contender for the title of the top Demi-God of his generation.

Boom!

Multiple passages at the bottom of the Nine Heavens Palace suddenly opened, and a young man in a purple robe flew out.

His aura was sharp, like a divine sword about to pierce through the heavens, making people feel a mix of awe and fear.

"Congratulations, Divine Son Zephyr."

"Congratulations, Divine Son, for creating a legend."

"Congratulations." The numerous Golden Robe Demi-Gods rushed forward to congratulate him, all appearing quite excited and happy.

"Ha ha, thank you all," the young man in the purple robe said with a smile, appearing quite approachable.

"This Zephyr Demi-God doesn't have much of an air of arrogance," Li Yuan sent a mental message.

"Divine Son Li Yuan, you might not know, but most Purple Robe Divine Sons focus on their own cultivation and rarely pay attention to ordinary members," Gaoyang sent a mental message. "But this Zephyr Divine Son is different. He is very courteous even to Silver Robe Demi-Gods and is willing to spar with Golden Robe members when they seek his guidance... Therefore, he is very popular among ordinary members of Source Mars."

Li Yuan nodded, feeling that Zephyr, the Demi-God, indeed treated people warmly, like a generous and respectful hero.

"Hmm?"

Zephyr's eyes lit up as he looked past the many Golden Robe Demi-Gods and fixed his gaze on Li Yuan, smiling, "This must be the new brother Li Yuan, right?"

"Brother Zephyr, I have heard much about you," Li Yuan said with a smile.

"You are not on the ranking list, but are you here to challenge the Nine Heavens Palace?" Zephyr, the Demi-God, smiled. "Those who can directly become Purple Robe members are all absolute prodigies. Brother Li Yuan, your strength is probably not inferior to mine."
