Chapter 508: The Three Realms of the Soul, Ninth-Level Authority (6K)



The soul world is vast and boundless, and from the moment a powerful being is born, their soul's will gradually grows stronger, allowing them to sense the existence of the soul world.

Each person's soul finds its abode within the soul world.

Until one day, in the soul world, they establish a Mind Void Realm within the soul world... This Mind Void Realm is the absolute territory of the powerful, where their soul reigns supreme.

Even so, the soul's thoughts still cannot venture too far beyond the Mind Void Realm. They are unable to explore the boundaries of their own soul world.

At this moment, through the Heart Dream Realm Talisman, Li Yuan is astonished to discover that his thoughts silently traverse an infinite distance within the 'Soul World'.

In that instant, Li Yuan faintly senses that during his journey, he has passed through countless 'Mind Void Realms' with powerful auras, leaving him in awe.

"Countless powerful beings establish the Mind Void Realm in the soul world. Could it be that we all reside under the same soul world?" Li Yuan's mind flashes with this thought.

Boom!

Li Yuan's thoughts have already entered the Heart Dream Realm, experiencing the vast and boundless land within.

A unique and distinct realm!

A grand world constructed entirely by the power of the soul.

"Child, come." A gentle voice resonates.

As soon as he enters, Li Yuan senses a voice, and an invisible force envelops his thoughts, leading him to a special place within the Heart Dream Realm.

Here stands an endless silver temple, as if it has always existed, exuding an enigmatic aura.

Li Yuan appears out of thin air within the temple.

"This? My physical strength? So real?" Li Yuan feels the surging power within his body and is amazed.

Even though he has heard of the wonders of the Heart Dream Realm, Li Yuan still finds it somewhat unbelievable.

Because Li Yuan can clearly sense that his consciousness is not merely in the form of a soul.

Instead, it is absolutely real!

Just like when he entered the Nine Heavens Palace, his consciousness is immersed in another puppet body, controlling true power.

This power is roughly equivalent to the threshold of a Demigod.

"I can actually manipulate the mysteries of the True Intent." Li Yuan's thoughts stir.

Through this body, Li Yuan feels that he can freely manipulate the various mysteries and insights he has comprehended.

However, he cannot activate the higher-level 'Law Undulations'.

Within this realm, the mysteries of the laws are like the moon in water, visible yet intangible... unable to be truly activated.

A very strange feeling.

As Li Yuan quickly familiarizes himself with the body, he sees a silver-robed figure appearing in the temple, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Senior?"

"What? Is it strange to see me?" The silver-robed elder chuckles.

The silver-robed elder is the silver-haired, silver-robed elder Li Yuan encountered in the Eternal Palace.

"Clearly just a Demigod, not only capable of establishing the Mind Void Realm, but also able to comprehend the mysteries of 'Soul's Evolution of All Things' so quickly, allowing the soul to break free from the shackles of the physical body and enter the True God Realm. Your talent on the path of the soul is indeed beyond imagination." The silver-robed elder sighs.

"At least in the last few million years, within the jurisdiction of the Divine Court."

"You are the only Demigod who possesses a True God-level soul." The silver-robed elder smiles, "As for the other major powers, I am unaware of them."

This talent on the path of the soul is indeed astonishing.

Li Yuan listens intently. For a Demigod to possess a True God-level soul is indeed extremely difficult.

Usually, there are three major hurdles. First, one must break through their will to reach the True God Realm, which has stumped countless peerless geniuses.

The second hurdle is establishing the Mind Void Realm.

Among the geniuses on Source Mars, Li Yuan estimates that many have reached the True God Realm in terms of willpower.

However, those who have established the Mind Void Realm are probably limited to himself, otherwise, it would be impossible for them to pass the tenth level of the Heartdream Path.

Lastly, one must reconstruct the Mind Void Realm, allowing it to undergo a fundamental transformation, so that the soul can evolve into a True God-level soul... Li Yuan, after ten years in the Seven Star Civilization, has made progress in comprehending the 'Law of Soul's Evolution of All Things', and only then did he succeed.

"Senior, how are you here?" Li Yuan asks, unable to contain his curiosity.

Normally, when a True God first enters the Heart Dream Realm, the process doesn't seem to follow this kind of introduction.

"You can call me 'Dream Senior'. Other True Gods and Sky Gods cannot see me because they lack the qualifications." The silver-haired elder smiles, "Under normal circumstances, only Divine Kings have the privilege to contact me."

"In reality, only Divine Kings, among the candidates who have passed numerous screenings, hold the same importance in my eyes as the Divine Emperor of the Heartdream Emperor lineage." The silver-haired elder smiles.

Li Yuan listens in surprise.

"In fact, I have always been in the Heart Dream Realm. I am the 'Dream Spirit' of the Dream Universe, the 'Head Steward' left by the owner to manage the Heart Dream Realm." The silver-haired elder explains with a slight smile, "Presiding over the Eternal Palace is just a small part of my responsibilities."

"Dream Universe? Dream Spirit?" Li Yuan is a bit confused.

What are these? The silver-haired elder smiles and gestures towards Li Yuan, "You'll understand if you sense it."

Whoosh~ An invisible wave instantly envelops Li Yuan.

Li Yuan immediately 'sees'.

He perceives his consciousness directly penetrating an endless expanse, extending infinitely. He sees countless vast star domains, numerous dark lands, and countless planets.

Most of these countless planets are desolate, but a few have life, and when added together, the total is astonishing.

Countless lives... Each with their own thoughts and emotions.

From a speck of dust on a planet to a cosmic celestial body, in an instant, Li Yuan's perception blurred, and he felt as if he had transformed into a vast universe.

"What is this?" Li Yuan was filled with awe.

He felt countless profound insights flooding his mind.

However, this mystical sensation was fleeting, and it vanished without a trace, leaving Li Yuan's perception restored to its initial state.

He remained within the palace.

"Do you understand now?" The silver-robed elder smiled.

"The entire Heart Dream Realm... that I just sensed?" Li Yuan realized.

"Yes!"

"The Heart Dream Realm is the Heart Dream Universe. I just opened up the entire universe's origin for you, allowing you to vaguely perceive the entirety of the universe's profundities." The silver-robed elder laughed.

"The Heart Dream Realm is also the only 'Mind Void Realm' within the countless strong cultivators' 'Soul Universe' in the Divine Realm."

Li Yuan was stunned by what he heard.

He had imagined the Heart Dream Realm to be vast and intricate, but he never expected it to have evolved into a 'Universe'.

A universe!

In ancient times, the past and present were referred to as 'Zhou', and the four directions and the heavens as 'Yu'... The universe implies an immeasurable and boundless region.

Just like the Divine Realm, which is so vast, with tens of thousands of star domains gathered, spanning hundreds of billions of light-years, yet it is still only a part of the so-called real universe!

"How big is the Mind Void Realm that I have opened up?" Li Yuan fully understood the gap: "But the Heart Dream Emperor's Mind Void Realm is a universe?"

"And it's like a real universe, with countless lives, countless star systems... It's like another world."

No wonder the other party dares to call himself the first person on the soul path in the Divine Realm.

Indeed, the gap is immeasurable.

"However, sensing the origin of the Heart Dream Universe can only give you a vague perception for a moment... After all, the Heart Dream Universe, though a 'Soul Universe', already contains the essence of reality, and you cannot fully bear the oppression of the origin."

"Secondly, the origin of the Soul Universe contains the owner's 'Heart Dream Path', and if you immerse yourself too deeply in this insight... It will only change your perception, becoming a shackle on your future cultivation of the soul path." The silver-robed elder explained.

Li Yuan nodded slightly, as Jue Xing Divine Emperor had also mentioned this... The path of the predecessors could only be used as a reference.

One must forge their own path.

If one delves too deeply, it will do more harm than good.

"If, in the future, you become a Divine King or reach the Celestial Realm, and you can open up a 'Soul True Realm' in the Soul World, then you will be qualified to fully comprehend the origin of the Heart Dream Universe." The silver-robed elder said.

"Soul True Realm?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"The Mind Void Realm is 'illusory', and once you die, your Mind Void Realm will quickly collapse and be annihilated." The silver-robed elder's eyes were filled with deep meaning: "Once the Void Realm reaches a certain level of power, it can transform into a 'Soul True Realm'."

"Although the Soul True Realm is still illusory, it can exist permanently in the vast Soul World, even if a cultivator perishes, the Soul True Realm they have created can still endure an immeasurably long time in the Soul World... That's why it's called the True Realm."

"Even higher is the owner's Soul Universe, which is almost eternal and indestructible." The silver-robed elder sighed: "The owner, relying on this method, has lived through one era after another."

Li Yuan understood.

Mind Void Realm, Soul True Realm, Soul Universe... These are the three major levels of the soul path.

All of these are supported by the Soul World.

Just like the countless strong cultivators in the Soul World you can reach.

Li Yuan also understood that comprehending the 'Origin of the Heart Dream Universe' should be a great opportunity.

However, if one's own soul path insights are not high enough, it might be harmful.

At least one must establish a Soul True Realm to be qualified.

"Senior."

"Are my Mind Void Realm and 'Heart Dream Universe' in the same Soul World?" Li Yuan thought.

"You should have sensed it when you arrived at the Heart Dream Realm." The silver-robed elder smiled.

"Your thoughts are correct."

"Just like the material world, countless mortal realms, and star domains within the Divine Realm, all exist within the same space, but due to the vast distances, it's difficult to cross over. This aspect can be collectively referred to as the 'Real World'." The silver-robed elder explained: "And the Soul World, where the souls of countless lives coexist, is also interconnected."

"The Real World and Soul World are one, forming a corresponding whole, together creating the entire heavens." The silver-robed elder said.

"But souls are more illusory, and it's more difficult for strong cultivators to connect through the Soul World."

"Like the so-called karmic attacks, which are launched through the Soul World after the Mind Void Realm transforms into a 'Soul True Realm'."

"Why can karmic attacks cross endless time and space for communication? It's actually done through Soul World communication."

Li Yuan awakened.

Karmic perception, karmic attacks... It turns out that these are attacks launched by super strong cultivators through the Soul World.

The Soul World is a dimension for communication, ignoring spatial distances.

"The 'Heart Dream Universe' of the owner is extremely powerful." The silver-robed elder said: "It can cover the Soul World corresponding to the 'Time River' of the Divine Realm."

"Therefore, within the Divine Realm, all strong cultivators who wish to do so can enter the Heart Dream Universe."

"And like other Divine Court major powers, even the Dream Realm established by the Divine Emperor has a much smaller area of influence." The Silver Robed Elder laughed.

Li Yuan had now fully understood the operating principles of the Heart Dream Realm.

He also grew more and more impressed with the Dream Emperor... The principles, even an ordinary Celestial Deity would likely know.

But knowing, and being able to do it, were two different things.

"Follow me." The Silver Robed Elder smiled and walked out of the temple, with Li Yuan quickly following.

Outside the temple, Li Yuan saw a vast and boundless world.

Countless small temples surrounded large cities... and these large cities were encircled by an even more massive floating ancient city.

"This?" Li Yuan gasped.

The Silver Robed Elder pointed to the side, and a light screen condensed, displaying a large amount of textual information, as well as many pictures and video messages.

"Take a good look." The Silver Robed Elder smiled, "What's on this screen is related to the Heart Dream Realm."

"Yes, Elder Dream." Li Yuan immediately began to check.

...

With Li Yuan's current strength of soul will, reviewing the recorded information was very fast.

But even so, it still took a long time for him to fully understand the many functions of the Heart Dream Realm.

First, the Heart Dream Realm is an absolutely safe place, inviting the strong from the Divine Court to descend with a wisp of soul consciousness.

The strong from the Divine Court could only descend into a region of the Dream Realm—the Dream Realm.

There are mainly two major purposes. First, it facilitates the exchange of intelligence and treasure information among the strong of the Divine Court.

Second, it facilitates the confirmation of the life and death of the strong from the Divine Court.

... The Dream Realm is divided into Star Domain City, Capital City, and Divine King Palace.

The strong who enter the Dream Realm are divided into numerous permission levels according to their status in the Divine Court.

From low to high, there are a total of ten levels, with the first level being the lowest and the tenth level being the highest... When they get close to each other, they can easily sense each other's tier aura.

The levels are clear!

First to third-tier members are mostly Golden Robed True Immortals.

Fourth-tier members are usually Purple Robed True Immortals, which are True Deity Peak Powerhouses.

Fifth to eighth-tier members are usually ordinary Celestials.

... Ninth-tier members are usually Celestial Monarchs.

Tenth-tier members are definitely Divine Kings.

...

"The strong from various Star Domain branches live in the Star Domain City?" Li Yuan curiously looked at the floating cities below.

Each city gathers a large number of strong from a Star Domain, and each strong has a separate palace. If there is a major event, they will gather in their respective Star Domain City.

"Capital City."

"Is this where the headquarters strong gather?" Li Yuan wondered, "Can Celestials from various Star Domains also reach the Capital City?"

Thousands of Star Domain Cities surround the massive Capital City.

But the most eye-catching is the majestic palace in the center of the Capital City, shrouded in countless hazy mists, exuding an ancient and vast aura.

That's the Divine King Palace! Only Divine Kings can enter the Divine King Palace... Divine Kings are the true high-level existence of the entire Chaos Divine Court, who can truly decide the direction of the vast territory of the Divine Realm.

"My tier is fourth-tier?" Li Yuan checked his permissions, "But the actual hidden permission... is ninth-tier?"

Li Yuan was stunned.

"Tenth-tier permissions must be jointly approved by the Triarch Palace. I don't want to disturb some high-level members of the Divine Court, so I can't authorize it to you temporarily." The Silver Robed Elder smiled, "So, the hidden permission I can give you is ninth-tier... and it's the limit of ninth-tier."

"Even other tenth-tier Divine Kings don't know your hidden permission."

"With this hidden permission, you can enter some areas of the 'Dream Realm' in the Heart Dream Realm, such as those high-level auctions, or some special taverns."

"For example, the Celestial Intelligence Library."

"How far you can take this hidden permission depends on your own abilities." The Silver Robed Elder said.

Li Yuan expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Elder Dream."

Permissions are very important.

Having just browsed through a lot of information about the 'Dream Realm', Li Yuan was well aware of its importance to the Chaos Divine Court... not to mention the high-ranking Divine Kings.

Just as a gathering place for hundreds of millions of True Immortals and tens of thousands of Celestials, it contains great opportunities.

These strong individuals, any one of them, are top-tier experts in a galaxy or even a Star Domain.

The treasures traded here are beyond imagination.

Like some extremely high-level auctions, the treasures auctioned are not even available in the Ten Thousand Worlds Chamber of Commerce... they only appear in some special auctions, provided there are enough 'Heart Dream Currency'.

Heart Dream Currency is the only legal currency in the Dream Realm, recognized by all strong.

This currency is backed by the Chaos Divine Court.

Some newly emerged holy land messages are only circulated in the Dream Realm... for example, the 'Celestial Intelligence Library'.

How to get in? First, you need high enough permissions!

High permissions represent strength and status, naturally earning the trust of others.

"That's not right!"

"Elder." Li Yuan suddenly realized, "Although I have hidden permissions, if I walk in the Dream Realm, others will still only sense me as a fourth-tier member."

"Fool!"

"The Dream Realm has a function called 'Disguise'." The Silver Robed Elder smiled, "After activating the disguise, only the tier will be revealed, not the true identity... then you can activate the hidden 'ninth-tier member identity'."

"After all, many transactions in the Dream Realm are not to be exposed, and many strong individuals don't want to reveal their true identity." The Silver Robed Elder smiled.

"Of course, the disguise function is not absolute. In general, Divine Kings can check."

"Amidst the Nine Star Lineage Myth, even if the Divine King had to make a request, I will help you deny it." The Silver Robed Elder smiled.

Li Yuan understood.

Walking in the Dream Realm, all the Divine Court powerhouses would have two identities—a public one and a disguised one.

The difference lies in the fact that for others, both identities would exhibit the same cultivation level.

Only he himself, with a public identity as a 'Fourth Tier Member', could present himself as a 'Nine Star Lineage Myth' to others.

And no one could uncover this.

Interesting!

"Thank you, Senior." Li Yuan smiled.

"No need to thank me." The Silver Robed Elder smiled faintly, "You are worthy, so I will bestow upon you more according to the owner's instructions. Like this time, if you couldn't enter the Dream Realm, there would be no such help."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, secretly understanding that many of his actions were likely under the Silver Robed Elder's observation.

The more powerful he became, the more assistance the Elder would provide.

But how to become stronger? He wouldn't interfere.

"Once your Divine Perception reaches the True God level, and with the guidance of your Spirituality, you will be just one step away from entering the Ten Star Lineage." The Silver Robed Elder spoke.

Li Yuan nodded in agreement, "Yes."

"At this stage, even the Perception Star Pill or the Perception Star Fruit won't be of much help to you." The Silver Robed Elder sighed, "You must rely on your own breakthrough."

"Work hard." The Silver Robed Elder smiled, "I look forward to the day you achieve the Ten Star Lineage."

Li Yuan nodded heavily, for the Ten Star Lineage was the ultimate pursuit of a Demi-God.

"In this 'Divine Emperor Palace', you have the permission to arrive. If there's anything in the future, you can come and see me." The Silver Robed Elder said directly, "I'll send you to your own palace now."

...

Whoosh~ Li Yuan felt the space shift, and he arrived at a small palace surrounding the Capital City from the Divine Emperor Palace.

"I am now a member of Source Mars, so I belong to the headquarters." Li Yuan thought to himself, "After becoming a God, if I choose to stay at the headquarters, I will remain in the Capital City."

"But if I choose to return to the Mo River Branch, then I will be a 'Mo River Branch Member', and my residence will be adjusted to the Star Domain City."

The difference between headquarters and branch members wasn't significant.

It was mainly for the convenience of management.

"This Temple is quite vast." Li Yuan observed his residence in the Dream Realm, "These places are where Fourth Tier Members can reach... and these are where Nine Star Lineage Myth can access."

They were entirely on different levels.

"However, the hidden permissions only give me more opportunities, but with my insufficient strength and wealth, their usefulness is limited." Li Yuan was well aware of this point.

Strength was the foundation.

Huff!

"Hmm?" Li Yuan suddenly received several messages, all indicating 'Add Friend'.

Add Friend? "Dao Demon Heavenly God? Great Rock Sky God? Xia Feng Divine King?" Li Yuan smiled.

They were all old acquaintances.

After some thought, Li Yuan directly agreed.

Then, utilizing his permissions, he searched for Nie Lake True Immortal, Hongkai True Immortal, and Raging Engine True God, adding them as friends with his Nine Star Lineage Myth identity.

In reality, if Li Yuan activated his 'Nine Star Lineage Myth' permissions, he could connect with most True Gods.

...

Northern Hill Mortal Realm.

In the Crimson Sun Civilization, within the grand temple outside the Crimson Sun Star.

"Hmm? Someone's adding me as a friend?" The hundred-meter-tall Raging Engine True God suddenly opened his eyes, his aura unfathomable.

As a True God, Raging Engine True God possessed a powerful Divine Perception, often leaving a strand of consciousness in the Dream Realm... This was one of the few communication channels he had with the Divine Realm.

However, being merely a True God early stage powerhouse, and staying in his hometown Mortal Realm, his strength was only recognized as a First Tier Member in the Dream Realm, and even among them, he was one of the weakest.

Consequently, very few powerhouses were willing to communicate with him, as there weren't many benefits in doing so.

Thus... he had a pitifully small friend list.

"A Fourth Tier Member wants to add me as a friend?" Raging Engine True God was shocked, "Who could it be?"

His only Fourth Tier Member friend was Nie Lake True Immortal, who was an Inspector, and it was his duty to accept the friend request.

Huff!

After some thought, Raging Engine True God directly clicked to accept.

Instantly, he sent a message to the 'Chat Room'.

In the Dream Realm, communication wasn't through a conventional dialogue interface, but rather, it formed a separate 'Chat Room', allowing powerhouses to interact as if face-to-face.

As soon as Raging Engine True God entered, he sensed a figure shrouded in darkness nearby, their aura enigmatic.

"I wonder who you are, and what you seek from me?" Raging Engine True God hesitated.

He wasn't overly fearful.

As a True God peak powerhouse, even hiding in his hometown Mortal Realm, no Heavenly God could threaten him.

"Raging Engine, it's been a while." A cheerful voice echoed, and the dark figure's aura shifted, revealing their true identity.

This aura, Raging Engine True God was very familiar with.

"Li Yuan?" Raging Engine True God's eyes widened, "You here? You've reached the Divine Court headquarters?"

He knew Li Yuan's Divine Perception was at the True God level.

But with a Fourth Tier identity, there was no doubt Li Yuan was an official Purple Robed Divine Son.

How long had it been?

According to Raging Engine True God's estimation, just traveling from the Mo River Star Domain to the Zi Wei Star Domain would take nearly two months.

"Hmm." Li Yuan smiled, "I've reached the Divine Court headquarters, and I'm currently in Source Mars."
