Chapter 513: The Path Closest to the Divine Emperor (Seeking the Moon at the Beginning of the Month)
Just as Dong Mang Divine King was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a connection and directly transmitted his thoughts through the web of causality, "Flame Illusion, you finally decided to send me a message. I thought you would keep it to yourself forever."
"Dong Mang," a cold female voice echoed in Dong Mang Divine King's mind, "I couldn't be bothered to send you a message before, but now it's about Li Yuan... He's important to me."
"Is he? Is he your disciple?" Dong Mang Divine King teased.
"You don't need to know the nature of our relationship," the cold female voice replied, "But Li Yuan chose the 'Illusory Mind Divine Canon', and the path of the Illusory Mind Divine King... That path is incredibly difficult."
"So, I think it's best if you advise him," the cold female voice continued.
"This path is indeed challenging," Dong Mang Divine King said, "But it's also extremely powerful. The Illusory Mind Divine King was the first Divine King of his era."
The Illusory Mind Divine King was a highly renowned Divine King in the history of the Chaos Divine Court.
During his lifetime, he was acknowledged as the strongest Divine King.
Even powerful Divine Emperors held him in great respect, but in the end, he still couldn't break through.
"The Illusory Mind Divine King's path is strong, but it's also true that it's difficult," the cold female voice said, "Li Yuan is talented, but he's too young. Starting on such a challenging path at this early stage may not be a good thing."
"I'm just offering a suggestion."
"He ultimately belongs to the Perception Star Emperor Palace lineage... Whether you say it or not, it's up to you." The cold female voice didn't respond further.
In the midst of the icy snowfield...
"This crazy woman."
"She says Li Yuan is important to her, but in reality, she's pushing the responsibility onto others." Dong Mang Divine King muttered to himself, "However, with such an attitude, could it be that the Heartdream Emperor has given her instructions?"
Without the command of a Divine Emperor, how could a Divine King be so obedient?
"It seems..."
"This little junior disciple of mine has a background even greater than I imagined." Dong Mang Divine King thought to himself.
As Divine Kings, they were part of the ruling class of the Divine Court and could understand the general situation of any member on Source Mars if they wished.
Both Dong Mang Divine King and Flame Illusion Divine King had been paying close attention to Li Yuan.
Therefore, as soon as Li Yuan chose the 'Illusory Mind Divine Canon', these two Divine Kings became aware of his decision.
...
On the third floor of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace, in front of the statue of the Illusory Mind Divine King.
Li Yuan stood there quietly, having already received the complete inheritance, but at this moment, his spiritual consciousness had entered a profound state.
It was a vast void.
Li Yuan held a long spear and was engaged in an intense battle with a black-robed figure who also wielded a spear.
A battle of spear techniques!
Both sides had comparable levels of power, and it was purely a clash of spear skills.
"Hua!" Li Yuan's long spear moved, emitting a spear glow that was both horizontal and vertical, with condensed power that created terrifying 'threads' in the void.
These threads were actually spatial rifts.
Apparently, Li Yuan had a profound understanding of the spatial law, and the slightest use of power was astonishing.
The spear techniques opened and closed, fierce and aggressive!
"Puh~" The black-robed man's long spear also swung, blocking the spatial rift that was invading Li Yuan.
Wherever his spear technique reached, the space layers returned to nothingness, as if he were in a different world, extremely profound.
The two of them fought with all their strength in the starry sky, their spear glows colliding and causing the void to constantly tremble.
"His spear technique is truly profound and powerful," Li Yuan exclaimed, immersed and impressed.
Too strong.
The black-robed youth's spear technique was sometimes ferocious and aggressive, sometimes gentle like water, and sometimes swift as the wind, as if he had thoroughly integrated various styles.
Each of his spear strikes wasn't particularly powerful, but after complete integration, his spear technique became terrifyingly perfect and flawless.
All his moves originated from the spatial law.
Compared to the black-robed youth's spear technique, Li Yuan's spear technique was extremely mediocre, and he was at an absolute disadvantage in this clash and slaughter.
If the black-robed youth hadn't intentionally held back, Li Yuan would have lost long ago.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The two continued to fight.
Li Yuan also understood that the opponent was demonstrating the intricacies of the moves from the 'Illusory Mind Divine Canon'.
The purpose wasn't to defeat him but to help him quickly comprehend the first technique.
Suddenly, the black-robed figure shouted, "Look carefully!" His long spear suddenly changed.
An invisible force descended and enveloped the surroundings.
It covered his long spear and also enveloped Li Yuan.
"It's the power of the void, the power of the soul," Li Yuan instantly judged the nature of this force, "What is he trying to do?"
The next moment, the spear, enveloped by the power of the void, seemed to perfectly merge two distinct forces, and its power suddenly surged, directly piercing towards Li Yuan.
"Clang!" The spear glow struck.
In an instant, it hit Li Yuan's body and knocked him flying.
"This! How is this possible? How could the power surge so much?" Li Yuan couldn't believe it.
Li Yuan could tell that the profound law contained in this strike seemed unchanged.
But the power unleashed by the spear had increased significantly.
"Is it the power of the void?" Li Yuan had an epiphany but didn't understand, "But the power of the void is essentially the power of the soul. How can it affect the real world?"
The material world and the soul world are interdependent yet do not influence each other.
"Remember, the material and the void... All paths between heaven and earth are contained within them," the black-robed youth said coldly, "Only by combining the two can you take the strongest path and have the hope of cultivating the supreme 'Illusory Mind Style', truly entering the door of the Illusory Mind Path."
Boom!
Li Yuan's consciousness, a mere thread of his soul, was completely kicked out of this mysterious place.
Apparently, this mysterious place was a legacy left by Dong Mang Divine King within the Divine King statue.
Statue ahead.
"Huff!" Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a hint of astonishment in his gaze, "Illusory Mind, Illusory Mind... Real and illusory, overlapping and intertwining, where do you clearly distinguish between reality and illusion? Could this be the true mystery of the Heart Illusion Canon?"
Before receiving the inheritance, Li Yuan only felt that this method combined his envisioned material attack and soul attack.
But after truly understanding the inheritance and its myriad mysteries, it was only after a practical battle that he felt the formidable aspects of the Heart Illusion Canon.
At least, within the Miscellany of Ten Thousand Methods left by the Perception Star Divine Emperor, the myriad Divine King secret techniques and canons seemed to pale in comparison to the canon left by Dong Mang Divine King.
"Astonishing power."
"Seems like, wanting to learn this method is also difficult." Li Yuan only felt that this method was also challenging.
Compared to the Beyond Cloud Spear, its profundity was countless times more profound, and just entering the initial stages was already quite challenging.
...
After obtaining the Heart Illusion Canon on the third floor of the Myriad Dharmas Palace.
Li Yuan did not choose another Divine King method, but instead headed to the second floor, learning over a hundred Divine King-level spear techniques before returning to his own mansion.
As a Purple Robed Demigod, the first Divine King canon on the Myriad Dharmas Palace's first floor was free to acquire.
But if he wanted the second one, it would cost 1 billion Heartdream Currency to study!
The third one would cost 10 billion Heartdream Currency.
However, studying the Myriad Dharmas Palace's second floor Divine King methods was completely free.
Returning to the mansion.
"Using the Heart Illusion Canon as the core, I will research spear techniques, and supplement it with a large number of Heaven Deity-level methods." Li Yuan thought, "There are also many methods within the Miscellany of Ten Thousand Methods that can be referenced. For the next long period, it will be enough for my spear technique research."
Greedily devouring everything without proper digestion, the truly formidable secret techniques, studying just a few methods to the extreme would be sufficient.
Just as Li Yuan prepared to cultivate.
Suddenly.
"Hmm? Brother calls for me?" Li Yuan's eyes flashed with doubt, and with a thought, a thread of his consciousness entered the Heartdream Realm.
...
Heartdream Realm, Divine King Palace.
Dong Mang Divine King's palace.
Amidst the icy snow.
Huff! Li Yuan appeared out of thin air and respectfully saluted towards the distant enormous being, "Greetings, Brother."
"Li Yuan, in these fifty years, your progress seems quite remarkable." Dong Mang Divine King looked down at Li Yuan, a smile in his voice, "In terms of Spatial Laws, it seems you're about to condense the Law Will."
Among the Seven Fundamental Laws, the eighth level was called 'Law Will', the ninth level was 'Law Universe', and the tenth level was known as 'Path Mastery'... To become a Heaven Deity, one must comprehend a single Fundamental Law to the utmost.
But the Spatial Laws were extremely powerful.
Therefore, once the Law Will was condensed, it would be on par with a complete, ordinary Fundamental Law, reaching the tenth level.
"All thanks to Brother's Spatial Star Emperor Fruit." Li Yuan said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have progressed this quickly."
"Haha."
"Similar to the Spatial Star Emperor Fruit, there are also numerous treasures, but how well the treasures can be utilized also depends on the cultivator." Dong Mang Divine King said, "With your Spatial Law comprehension being so high, how far do you feel you are from the Ten Star Lineage?"
"I don't know." Li Yuan shook his head.
He truly didn't know.
Upon reaching the utmost of the Nine Star Lineage, the Perception Star Pill, Perception Star Fruit, and many other treasures became useless.
But in these fifty years, while his Law comprehension rapidly increased, Li Yuan never gave up on awakening the Life Star Realm.
Now, Li Yuan's unclaimed Life Star in the Life Star Realm had reached a staggering five million.
However, he still couldn't see the hope of awakening the Ten Star Lineage.
Li Yuan could only keep enduring, seeking that sliver of hope.
"The Ten Star Lineage is indeed difficult." Dong Mang Divine King sighed, "Why don't you try entering the Imperial Source Realm first, and then obtain an Imperial Source?"
"This way, even if you don't awaken the Ten Star Lineage in the future, cultivating two Perfect Star Techniques will still make you an extremely powerful existence among Heaven Deities." Dong Mang Divine King said.
"I have this idea." Li Yuan replied.
Although he already had an Imperial Source, it was given by the Heartdream Emperor... Li Yuan fully intended to enter the Imperial Source Realm again to obtain one.
At the Nine Star Lineage, he could cultivate at most three Perfect Star Techniques.
"Right."
"I just received news."
"Did you know that you accepted Dong Mang Divine King's inheritance?" Dong Mang Divine King asked, "Do you know who Dong Mang Divine King is, and the secret of the Heart Illusion Canon?"
"Please guide me, Brother." Li Yuan said.
In the intelligence library he could access, there wasn't much mention of Dong Mang Divine King, only stating that his strength was extremely powerful.
"Dong Mang Divine King."
"He was only at the Eight Star Lineage, but in his era, he was acknowledged as the first Divine King in the Divine Realm." Dong Mang Divine King directly said, "In the history of my Chaos Divine Court, among the thousands of Divine Kings, in terms of strength, he was even more likely to be ranked in the top ten."
So powerful? Li Yuan was a bit surprised.
According to Li Yuan's knowledge, Divine Kings were generally at the Nine Star Lineage, their foundation extremely powerful... Yet, an Eight Star Lineage Divine King became the acknowledged first Divine King of his era.
One can imagine how rare this was.
"Because his path was extremely powerful." Dong Mang Divine King slowly said, "The 'Illusory Mind Path' he pioneered, though just in its initial stages, was acknowledged by countless powerful beings as the path closest to the Divine Emperors."
