Chapter 511: The Heart of Dongfang Ji! Fifty Years of Cultivation (6K)



"Establish a God Kingdom?" Li Yuan was slightly surprised. "Alliance Leader, are you confident? Is this too rushed?"

Establishing a God Kingdom in the Divine Realm is a completely different challenge compared to expanding civilization in the Mortal Realm.

The key point is that the Divine Realm does not have the protection of a plane.

Therefore, when establishing a God Kingdom in the Divine Realm, in addition to having extremely powerful personal strength, one usually also needs a capable subordinate army to quickly resolve the many small troubles within the domain.

Otherwise, if everything has to be done personally, it would be too cumbersome.

"This is what I meant when I said that Master helped me with his powers." Dongfang Ji laughed and said, "With Master's help, I have already purchased a galaxy in the Great Rock God Kingdom's territory."

"As long as you have certain permissions in the Divine Court's territory, you can trade planets and galaxies."

Of course, what is being traded is only the 'right of use', and you still need to regularly pay a large amount of divine crystals to the Great Rock God Kingdom and the Divine Court as tax. If you can't pay it, your territory will be confiscated.

There is also another situation, which is to conquer a territory and apply to join the Divine Court's territory, and the tax to be paid will be much lower. This kind of situation doesn't happen often.

Most of the Divine Court's territory is where the Heavenly Gods and even the Divine Kings fought, and finally divided it up.

"Which galaxy?" Li Yuan was curious.

"The Kunli Star System." Dongfang Ji said.

"When I came out of the Northern Chu Mortal Realm, my first stop was the Kunli Star System." Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

It was in the Kunli Star System that he met Zhuang Long, Hongkai True Immortal, and others.

"With a galaxy as the territory of the God Kingdom, it is already one of the larger ones in the Primary Divine Kingdom." Li Yuan said.

As far as Li Yuan knows, in the Primary Divine Kingdom, according to the strength of the strong and the weak, they generally occupy thousands to tens of thousands of planets.

And like the Kunli Star System, with over 100,000 life planets... it is usually an extremely strong Primary Divine Kingdom that can completely occupy a galaxy.

"Choosing the Kunli Star System is also because it is the closest to the Northern Chu Mortal Realm." Dongfang Ji said: "This way, whether it is the strong in the future civilization entering the Divine Realm, or if there is something in the Northern Chu Mortal Realm, it will be able to handle it better."

"But, it is also the closest to the border." Li Yuan said: "In the future, once a war between the Middle Divine Kingdoms breaks out, the Kunli Star System will be the first to bear the brunt, and the pressure is very great."

The Kunli Star System, as the border of the Chaos Divine Court's territory, is directly adjacent to the Moon Glow God Kingdom under the command of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace.

The Great Rock God Kingdom and the Moon Glow God Kingdom have historically fought more than one war.

Limited by their own strength, the Great Rock God Kingdom is generally at a disadvantage.

"Are there any foolproof methods in the world?" Dongfang Ji revealed a smile: "You don't have to worry too much either. To help me establish a God Kingdom smoothly, Master sent a team of True Immortals to assist me in the Mo River Star Domain."

"A team of True Immortals?" Li Yuan was secretly shocked. Was that Blood Feather Divine King so generous?

According to the Chaos Divine Court's military organization, in the army of the gods, ten people are a small team, a hundred people are a large team, and ten thousand people are a legion.

A team of True Immortals is a hundred True Immortals.

This army-like True Immortal, a hundred True Immortals combined, can absolutely form a powerful 'True Immortal Battle Formation', and may even be able to control a powerful 'War Puppet', and the strength is strong enough to suppress even True Immortal peak powerhouses is very normal.

Such a force, within a star domain, is already very terrifying.

"Of course, they will only help me for 300 years, and help me through the most difficult times." Dongfang Ji smiled and said: "After I become a god, the God Kingdom enters the right track, and they will leave."

"Hmm." Li Yuan finally realized.

This is normal, even if powerful like a god, with a large number of True Immortals under his command, usually it's hard to assign True Immortals to follow his disciples for a long time.

After all, True Immortals following the Heavenly Gods are not servants or slaves, most of them have aspirations, or for the sake of getting cultivation pointers, or for the sake of treasure bestowal...

"Alliance Leader, I think, is still a bit rushed." Li Yuan said.

Just using the 'Time Abyss' cultivation, Li Yuan felt a bit rushed.

"It's a bit rushed."

"But before that, I had no choice, after all, I didn't know you would have such an achievement." Dongfang Ji said. "When I chose to do this back then, it was mainly to consider being able to quickly establish a powerful army, and to return to the Seven Star Civilization during the Spatial Gateway Period."

"Guard the Seven Star Civilization."

"After all, tens of thousands of years ago, several Divine Court teams killed into the Northern Chu Mortal Realm, Qingmo got a great benefit, and eventually became a Heavenly God." Dongfang Ji solemnly said: "If there is another opportunity next, the Great Rock God Kingdom, the Moon Glow God Kingdom, and even the Magic Lotus God Kingdom, may send a large number of True Immortals to kill into the Northern Chu Mortal Realm, and the two major star realm entrances of the Seven Star Civilization will be the first to be affected."

"The Seven Star Civilization, with its two major star realm entrances, will be the first to be affected." Dongfang Ji said: "Although the gods are unable to enter the Seven Star Civilization... but there are many strange things in the Divine Realm, and it's not difficult to destroy the entire dimensional plane."

Li Yuan listened, and this was also the reason why he had to eliminate the threat of the Immortal Ruins Civilization.

Compared to the potential threats in the future.

The Seven Star Civilization is too small and can't withstand any storms.

Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan: "What you did for your hometown, exterminating the Ten Thousand Demon Civilization, killing the Blazing Yan True Immortal, suppressing the Immortal Ruins Civilization, and making the Seven Star Civilization evolve and expand... I've already heard from Liu Bing that it's going very well, better than I did."

"Over the years, you've endured so much." The Elder sighed deeply.

A warmth filled Li Yuan's heart.

In his youth, Li Yuan had idolized Dongfang Ji, and his rapid growth was partly due to Dongfang Ji's assistance... until Dongfang Ji's departure.

To Li Yuan, Dongfang Ji was like a revered elder or a wise sage.

In terms of strength, Li Yuan might not be weaker than Dongfang Ji now, but he still held a deep respect for him.

Li Yuan had always hoped that one day, when he met Dongfang Ji again in the Eastern Realm, he could confidently tell him, 'Leader, I did not let you down.'

"If I had known you would achieve so much, I wouldn't have been in such a rush," Dongfang Ji said. "But overall, I didn't take the wrong path. Achieving the Eight Star Veins, awakening a perfect star vein, and cultivating the perfect star technique, 'Void True Explanation'... I have reached the pinnacle."

"Even if I had taken a more stable path, it would only have led to a deeper understanding of the laws," Dongfang Ji continued.

"A True God's lifespan is three million years... If I can become a Heavenly Deity in the future, and even a Divine King, then it's only natural that I should."

Dongfang Ji's character was such that he never regretted the past; he only thought about the future.

"Hmm," Li Yuan nodded, his heart echoing the same sentiment.

The Leader, despite his origins in the Mundane Realm, had indeed reached the pinnacle.

Being able to become a disciple of Blood Feather Divine Lord and later obtaining the Imperial Source was proof of that.

As far as Li Yuan knew, Purple Robed Demigod relied on various opportunities, including the Perception Star Fruit, and even with just the Eight Star Veins, most of them awakened with perfect star veins.

However, Purple Robed Demigod, who cultivated the perfect star technique with the Imperial Source, was still in the minority.

The Imperial Source was an extremely special treasure within the Chaos Divine Court, involving great risks. Even a Divine King couldn't obtain it directly... It required Purple Robed Demigod to venture into the Imperial Source Realm to acquire it.

"Alright."

"Li Yuan, that's all I have to say." Dongfang Ji smiled at Li Yuan. "I'm going to establish a Primary Divine Kingdom, which in a sense, is also paving the way for you... I have a natural talent for the Metal Law, so I'm somewhat confident about becoming a Heavenly Deity."

"But a Divine King? Even if I'm very confident, even if I cultivate the 'Void True Explanation'... I have to admit, the probability of me becoming a Divine King is extremely low." Dongfang Ji spoke frankly. "You have a higher chance of becoming a Divine King than I do, but I can't give up either. I also need to strive." Dongfang Ji smiled. "Perhaps, I'm just increasing the probability of our Seven Star Civilization producing a Divine King by 0.01%. But even a small increase brings more hope."

"A great hope is made up of countless small hopes."

"Just like when I promoted the 'Seven Star Alliance', hoping that future disciples would produce geniuses, I never imagined that an exceptional monster like you would emerge." Dongfang Ji said.

Li Yuan listened intently.

Suddenly—

"Hmm?" Dongfang Ji's eyes flickered with surprise as he had just received a message.

A transfer of one billion Heart Dream Currency had been received.

It was from Li Yuan.

Such a massive fortune exceeded Dongfang Ji's imagination... After cultivating for so many years, completing numerous trial tasks, and with the blessings of Blood Feather Divine Lord, his total wealth was only over twenty million Heart Dream Currency.

"Leader."

"No need to ask where the Heart Dream Currency came from. I don't lack for it at the moment," Li Yuan smiled. "But after you break through to a True God and establish a Divine Kingdom, recruiting subordinates and building a divine army... and even after returning to the Seven Star Civilization eighty years later, you will need a vast amount of wealth."

"Spending everywhere."

"These Heart Dream Currency are useless here, I might as well give them to you, Alliance Leader." Li Yuan said.

"Won't it affect your cultivation?" Eastern Extreme frowned.

According to his prediction, Li Yuan shouldn't possess this much Heart Dream Currency.

"I'm only a Demigod, I don't need so much wealth." Li Yuan smiled, "Moreover, after I emerge from my seclusion, just by breaking through the Eleventh Realm of the Nine Heavens Palace and the Sourcefire Realm, I'll obtain a large amount of Heart Dream Currency again."

"I know my limits."

For a super genius, the Chaos Divine Court has bestowed numerous gifts.

Currently, Li Yuan still has over ten billion Heart Dream Currency, which is sufficient for now."

"Alright, then I won't be polite." Eastern Extreme was never one to be overly formal.

"There's another matter."

"Ice Liu, give the remaining Celestial Serpent Eggs to the Alliance Leader." Li Yuan looked towards Ice Liu.

"Okay." Ice Liu nodded, and with a flip of her palm, she took out a Void Deity level cave abode treasure and handed it to Eastern Extreme.

She had brought back '100' Celestial Serpent Eggs from the Celestial Serpent Ancient City, and although many were incubated in the Mortal Realm, there were still dozens left.

"Mhm, I'll nurture them well, you can rest assured." Eastern Extreme said, having just communicated with Ice Liu. Although he wasn't clear about Ice Liu being a 'Saint Blood Celestial Serpent', he was aware of the matters concerning the Celestial Serpent Clan.

Time passed.

Li Yuan informed Eastern Extreme about the Dream Realm, Raging Engine True God, Nielake True Immortal, and other matters, giving him a detailed explanation.

Eastern Extreme departed.

...

After Eastern Extreme left, Li Yuan retracted the strand of consciousness he had descended.

Being able to meet Eastern Extreme again brought Li Yuan immense joy.

Soon, Li Yuan received three messages from Ice Liu: "Eastern Extreme has broken through the Eleventh Realm of the Nine Heavens Palace, rising from sixth place to second place, only second to Zijin Demigod."

"Eastern Extreme has surpassed Zijin Demigod in the Heartdream Path, ranking second only to you, Brother."

"Eastern Extreme has broken through the eighth layer of the Sourcefire Realm, ranking third, only behind Zijin Demigod and Xue Yu Demigod."

Reading these three messages, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to his previous strength in the Emperor Source Realm, Eastern Extreme's power had made a startling improvement.

His ranking in the Nine Heavens Palace surpassed Xuedian Demigod, Xue Yu Demigod, and other Demigods in the Eleventh Realm, indicating that his comprehension of the law had reached the peak of a True God.

In terms of mental willpower, he surpassed Zijin Demigod, and Li Yuan even suspected that Eastern Extreme might have already opened the Mind Void Realm. Even if he hadn't, he was likely not far from it.

Additionally, his Star Veins had reached the pinnacle!

Indeed, Eastern Extreme had no need to linger in the Demigod realm any longer.

"The Principal has entered the Nine Mountains World, but there's no news yet." Li Yuan thought, "If there's any news, Raging Engine True God will send me a message."

"But Eastern Alliance Leader is indeed growing rapidly, about to become a True God, and his future is limitless."

"I agree!"

"Eastern Alliance Leader has taken a step ahead, and I will surely become stronger." Li Yuan also had some yearning in his heart.

"In history, even over millions of years, if a Perfect Star Pulse is born, in the vast span of the Divine Realm, there would still be some good candidates. The Heartdream Emperor has cultivated numerous candidates, and the Perception Star Emperor has taken on many disciples."

"The other Divine Emperors are beyond my comprehension, their methods vary, and some with incredible talent... I am not the only one." Li Yuan silently recited, "To become a Divine King, or even the legendary Divine Emperor... the path is incredibly challenging."

Challenging?

Arriving in the Divine Realm, crossing numerous Star Domains, meeting countless Heaven Deities and even Divine Kings, Li Yuan's horizons broadened.

"To become a super powerhouse."

"First, I must become the strongest in the Source Mars."

"To become the strongest Demigod of this generation in the Chaos Divine Court, or even the entire Source Mars!" Li Yuan thought.

...

After breaking through the three major trial lands and once again making a name for himself in Source Mars, Eastern Extreme quietly left Source Mars after a few days.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan dedicated himself to cultivation, focusing on spatial laws.

Ice Liu was also diligently cultivating.

Inside Ice Liu's residence.

"I've obtained the Ancestor's inheritance, not only numerous cultivation techniques but also further purification of my bloodline due to the 'Divine King's Essence Blood'." Ice Liu silently pondered, "It has greatly enhanced my talent in the Wind Law and significantly improved my spatial talent... But there's a limit to bloodline talent."

Ice Liu clearly remembered the words of the Ancestor.

Bloodline power is like comprehending the path of a 'Divine King' in advance, significantly enhancing strength while also becoming a shackle for the future.

"I must break this shackle."

"Based on the Ancestor's bloodline, I will forge my own 'Physical Body Path'." Ice Liu thought.

With her broadened horizons, she had a clear understanding of her cultivation path.

Due to her early experiences, she was well aware of her responsibilities, making her cultivation even more intense and bitter.

Adding to this, there was her experience in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.

Her path was much stronger than those of the Saint Blood Celestial Serpents in the history of the Celestial Serpent Clan.

"Coming to Source Mars is my great opportunity."

"Brother's talent is extremely high, and he might become a Divine King in the future, but I can't rely on him." Ice Liu had her own determination, "Revenge... I must strive and rely on myself to take revenge."

Not long after Eastern Extreme's departure, Ice Liu entered the 'Divine Wind Cave' among the Seven Laws Cave Abodes to cultivate.

After twenty years of secluded cultivation in the Divine Wind Cave, she entered the Spatial Divine Ruin, devoting herself to cultivation for another twenty years.

Two decades passed in the blink of an eye.

This was also the time when Ice Liu became a Demigod, receiving the Divine King's legacy, and wholeheartedly dedicated herself to cultivation for twenty years.

She truly unleashed the power of the Saintly Blood Serpent's bloodline to its fullest potential, making remarkable progress.

She successfully challenged the tenth layer of the Nine Heavens Palace.

"In terms of understanding the Laws, I'm almost at the Peak True Deity level. My bloodline, in the Demigod realm, has reached its pinnacle." Ice Liu realized this.

"Unless I enter the True Deity realm and fully unlock my bloodline, further progress will only become increasingly difficult."

"I want to break free from these shackles and strive to awaken the Nine Star Vein." This was Ice Liu's goal.

If it weren't for the Nine Star Vein, she could have chosen to break through to the True Deity realm by now.

Then.

Ice Liu began to undertake trial tasks, and over ten years, she completed five trial tasks... Acquiring Heart Dream Currency was secondary; the primary goal was to temper herself.

Another two years passed.

On Source Mars, once every fifty years, the Golden Robe Ranking Battle commenced.

In this battle, Ice Liu unleashed her divine might, relying on her absolute strength, and together with Ning Chi and three others, she was promoted to a Purple Robed Demigod.

In the forty-second year after becoming a Purple Robed Demigod, Ice Liu completed the Perception Star Fruit task and obtained the Jue Xing Ancient City's first Star Vein treasure, the Perception Star Fruit.

With the Perception Star Fruit.

Ice Liu finally awakened her first Perfect Star Vein... She now possessed the foundation of Perfect Star Techniques.

She once again sent a message to Li Yuan.

Ice Liu's mansion.

Whoosh! Li Yuan's consciousness descended, and after forty-two years, his aura became even more ethereal.

"Little Ice, you messaged me. What's the matter?" Li Yuan looked at Ice Liu, a smile appearing on his face.

Li Yuan clearly felt that compared to forty-two years ago, Ice Liu had undergone a dramatic transformation.

Not only had her understanding of the Laws improved, but her soul's will had also made significant progress through the life-and-death trials of numerous trial tasks.

"Big Brother, I'm preparing to venture into the Imperial Source Realm." Ice Liu said.

"The Imperial Source Realm?" Li Yuan nodded slightly, aware of Ice Liu's progress over the years.

"Are you ready?" Li Yuan asked.

"I'm ready." Ice Liu nodded firmly, her eyes filled with determination. "Big Brother, I want to become a Nine Star Vein... It's too difficult."

"I only think of one path, and that is to venture into the Imperial Source Realm, obtain the Imperial Source, and cultivate the 'Void True Explanation,' relying on the progress of Spatial Laws, and then challenge the Nine Star Vein." Ice Liu said.

Even if Ice Liu was an Eight Star Vein with many fortuitous opportunities and treasures, awakening the Nine Star Vein would still be extremely challenging.

If it weren't for this, the tens of thousands of Golden Robed Demigods on Source Mars, each of them an Eight Star Vein, along with the Eight Star Vein Demigods from various major branches, totaling several tens of thousands of Eight Star Vein Demigods in the entire Chaos Divine Ruin... But there were only three Nine Star Vein Demigods.

"Good!"

"Be careful." Li Yuan didn't stop Ice Liu.

The Imperial Source Realm was incredibly dangerous, with many Purple Robed Demigods perishing within... But on the path of the strong, one must forge their own path.

If Ice Liu wanted to become a Divine King, and even stronger in the future, she must pass through life-and-death tribulations.

"Big Brother."

"I've already made my will." Ice Liu smiled. "If I die in the Imperial Source Realm, all the Heart Dream Currency under my name will be transferred to you."

"Don't say such disheartening words." Li Yuan shook his head. "Remember, come back alive."

...

Ice Liu left... The Imperial Source Realm was shrouded in mystery, and even Li Yuan and Ice Liu's soul senses were completely cut off.

In other words, Li Yuan couldn't even confirm Ice Liu's life or death.

Inside the Spatial Divine Ruin.

"The Eastern Alliance Leader became a True Deity thirty years ago and immediately established the 'Seven Star Divine Realm.' Nowadays, he is revered as the 'Eastern Extreme True Deity' in the Mo River Star Domain.

Eastern Extreme has entered the Dream Realm and is a friend of Li Yuan, and the two can contact each other at any time.

Therefore, Li Yuan is quite knowledgeable about the affairs of the Mo River Star Domain... Just a sliver of thought is enough.

"Little Ice, you also pursue your own Nine Star Vein path." Li Yuan thought.

He continued to cultivate in seclusion.

In these years, Ice Liu made great progress, but Li Yuan, who cultivated in seclusion in the Spatial Divine Ruin, made even more terrifying progress.

His talent was originally extremely high.

In the last year of the Seven Star Civilization, he finally transformed into a True Deity-level soul... Arriving at Source Mars, he obtained the 'Spatial Divine Ruin,' such a precious cultivation ground.

With the effects of the Spatial Star Emperor Fruit, he finally obtained the Jue Xing Ancient City's first Star Vein treasure, the Perception Star Fruit.

With the Perception Star Fruit, Li Yuan truly began his transformation.

In the second year of cultivating in the Spatial Divine Ruin, Li Yuan entered the Spatial True Intent Perfection level.

In the eighth year, he thoroughly crossed into the Spatial Law threshold (ninth stage).

After crossing the threshold of the Spatial Law, his cultivation speed didn't slow down at all, and in terms of the world, spatial fragmentation, the Boundless Realm, reality and illusion, and many other aspects, his progress became even faster.

In the blink of an eye, Ice Liu entered the 'Imperial Source Realm' in the eighth year, which was Li Yuan's fiftieth year of secluded cultivation in the Spatial Divine Ruin.

The effects of the Spatial Star Emperor Fruit finally dissipated.
