Chapter 520: The Heart realm! Imperial Source Realm Task (7K)
Chapter 520: The Heart realm! Imperial Source Realm Task (7K)
In the Triarch Palace, the Winterglory Divine king’s residence, the massive lifeform was still in deep slumber.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" The Winterglory divine king sensed a mysterious vibration, "Senior Meng? You seek me?"
As a divine king and the leader of the Perception Star Emperor Palace, there were almost no secrets in the Chaos Divine Court for him.
"Go to the Dream Realm quickly and find your junior brother; he's in trouble." The mysterious vibration said.
"Junior brother?" A glint of light flashed in the Winterglory divine king's eyes. With a thought, a thread of his consciousness had already entered the Dream Realm.
...
In the Dream Realm, inside Li Yuan’s palace.
Li Yuan felt at a loss.
Because, after the Heart Realm divine king arrived, two more divine kings swiftly descended into his palace.
One was the 'Yellowdragon divine king,' from the Perception Star Emperor Palace lineage. He wore a vermilion-yellow robe and a crown, resembling an exalted emperor, his aura vast and profound.
The other was the 'Hateforge divine king,' similar to the Heart Realm divine king, he was a divine king of a special race, his entire body resembling a magical beast enveloped in endless flames, hailing from the Heart Dream Emperor Palace.
Four divine kings arrived one after another, all opening their mouths to take Li Yuan as a personal disciple.
"Hateforge, Darklight, neither of you are from my Perception Star Emperor Palace lineage, yet you both want to take on a disciple?" The Heart Realm divine king, with a unique life form and no mouth, still maintained her original form in the Dream Realm, but her consciousness vibration was incredibly strong: "If you want to take on disciples, you should first get the approval of the divine kings of the Perception Star Emperor Palace lineage."
"Heart Realm." The Darklight divine king was not at all bothered by the other's words and smiled, "Li Yuan indeed belongs to our Perception Star Emperor Palace lineage, but he is only a demigod, not yet a heaven deity... He hasn't even officially joined the Triarch Palace."
"The three palaces of the divine court ultimately belong to one family. Are we, esteemed divine kings, not allowed to take a demigod as a disciple?" The Darklight divine king smiled.
The Darklight divine king spoke the truth.
On a normal day, if a divine king wanted to take on a demigod as a disciple, they wouldn't care which lineage the demigod belonged to.
Divine kings from other lineages wouldn't pay attention either.
"Ordinary demigods, you can take on as you wish." The Heart Realm divine king did not yield an inch: "But Li Yuan is a genius of unparalleled talent. Don't you know? Can you allow you to act recklessly?"
"Stop arguing. Why don't I take on a disciple? I am from the Perception Star Emperor Palace lineage." The Yellowdragon divine king smiled at Li Yuan: "Li Yuan, these few people are not as strong as me. If you become my disciple, I guarantee the best cultivation conditions and will spare no effort to help you achieve the divine king rank."
Before Li Yuan could respond.
"Rubbish."
"Yellowdragon, you, who specializes in material means, can teach Li Yuan well?" The Heart Realm divine king coldly said.
"Going down the soul path has little hope." The Yellowdragon divine king was very calm: "Li Yuan has great talent in the spatial law... There's no need to take the most difficult path; a little assistance in soul cultivation will suffice."
"Right." The Hateforge divine king also chimed in: "Heart Realm, in terms of combat strength, you are at the bottom among the four of us. Don't hinder such a fine talent."
"Hmph, in every divine king battle, my contributions are not inferior to yours," the Heart Realm divine king's voice was cold.
For a moment, the four divine kings were in fierce contention.
Seeing this scene, Li Yuan felt a headache but also secretly sighed.
"Other geniuses from the Source Mars, even the Purple Robed demigods, would be considered outstanding if they could be taken on as disciples by a divine lord. Even Zephyr is only rumored to have been taken on by a divine king," Li Yuan thought, "I have the Perception Star Divine Emperor as my teacher, and though I am only a registered disciple for now, I still have some luck... Even when I passed the twelve levels of the Heart Dream Path, no divine king came to take me as a disciple."
"But now."
"After breaking through the 11th level of the Source Fire Realm, these divine kings couldn't resist it and directly descended to my palace to take me as a disciple." Li Yuan thought, "All as personal disciples."
For world-class geniuses, divine kings all vie for disciples.
With Li Yuan's current displayed talent, he could at least become a divine lord... his talent was astonishingly high.
"What should I do?"
"Should I become a disciple? Though being a personal disciple of a divine king is good, even if I want to become a disciple, the decision isn't in my hands." Li Yuan sighed inwardly.
The path of cultivation is long, and it is very common for a powerful cultivator to have multiple teachers.
However, there are some rules of lineage in this world.
Under normal circumstances, only personal disciples and inner disciples are considered true disciples, while registered disciples do not count as true disciples.
Therefore, when Li Yuan initially became a disciple of the half-god Lefeng and the heaven deity Anchitian, he was only a registered disciple... so he could take other powerful cultivators as teachers without their consent.
Moreover, both Lefeng and Anchitian were already deceased.
But these rules clearly do not apply to the 'Perception Star Divine Emperor.' As a divine emperor's disciple, even if only a registered disciple, the status is far above that of a divine king's disciple.
And what is the status of the Perception Star Divine Emperor?
If Li Yuan casually takes another teacher, how will it affect the Perception Star Divine Emperor? At best, it's disrespectful to the teacher; at worst, it's 'rebelling the teacher.'
"Li Yuan." The Darklight divine king said in a low voice: "Your talent is unparalleled. We, the divine kings, want to take you as a disciple. We know you find it hard to decide, but choosing a teacher and a disciple choosing a teacher... ultimately, the decision is yours."
"Right, right, right."
"Let Li Yuan decide." The Hateforge divine king also smiled: "We don't need to argue anymore."
The gazes of the four divine kings all fell on Li Yuan.
Though in the Dream Realm, Li Yuan still felt immense pressure and didn't know how to respond.
Refuse? If he agrees to become a disciple of one divine king, the other divine kings won't mind.
But refusing all four divine kings at once would offend all of them.
But as Senior Star instructed, he cannot casually reveal that the Perception Star Divine Emperor is his teacher.
"Li Yuan, don't be so indecisive. No matter who you choose, the other divine kings won't make things difficult for you." The Yellowdragon divine king frowned slightly: "Do you really want to carefully screen them?"
Divine kings also have their pride.
They want to take on disciples, but it doesn't mean they will grovel or lower themselves.
Just as Li Yuan was in a dilemma.
Suddenly.
Rustle~ The palace of Li Yuan faintly trembled, a large amount of light converged, and a massive figure, resembling a mountain, slowly emerged.
His aura was extremely terrifying, making even figures like the Heart Realm Divine King and Yellowdragon Archgod seem slightly weaker in comparison.
"Winterglory?"
"Winterglory Divine King?"
"Winterglory has also come." The four Divine Kings all bowed slightly and took a step back to show their respect.
In terms of strength, Winterglory Divine King was not the strongest among the many Divine kings in the Divine Court... but he was a disciple of the Perception Star Divine Emperor. Just this fact alone guaranteed him a very high status within the Chaos Divine Court.
"Winterglory, do you also want to take Li Yuan as a disciple?" Heart Realm Divine King couldn't help but ask.
If it were anyone else, she would dare to compete.
But if Winterglory Divine King spoke up, she would find it hard to compete, as she was nominally still subordinate to him.
The other three divine kings also looked at Winterglory Divine King.
"Lords." Winterglory Divine King's gaze was calm: "Li Yuan's talent is indeed monstrous, but none of you are actually qualified to take him as a disciple, because he is my junior brother."
"What?"
"Winterglory, your junior brother?"
"Does that mean?" All the divine kings present were shocked, instantly understanding Li Yuan's identity.
"So, he is actually the disciple of a Divine Emperor? No wonder!" Yellowdragon Divine King looked at Li Yuan and sighed, "What a pity."
"Before entering Source Mars, Li Yuan had already been taken in as a named disciple by my teacher." Winterglory Divine King swept his gaze over the few divine kings: "But you understand the rules. Unless absolutely necessary, the identity of a Divine Emperor's disciple wouldn't be exposed, which is why it has been hidden until now."
The few divine kings couldn't help but nod.
Although Divine Emperor disciples were rare, they would still encounter one or two every so often.
"Still, the Divine Emperor has a good eye." Hateforge Divine King sighed.
"Just that."
"Li Yuan has been cultivating on Source Mars for several decades, and his sharpness is already evident, ultimately impossible to conceal." Winterglory Divine King said: "So, now that you know, remember not to spread it."
"Understood."
"We know the rules."
"Alright, Winterglory, then we'll take our leave." Yellowdragon Divine King, Hateforge Divine King, and Darklight Divine King, realizing there was no hope of taking Li Yuan as a disciple, didn't linger further, and their figures flickered away.
Inside the palace.
"Heart Realm, are you not leaving yet?" Winterglory Divine King smiled.
"Such a piece of unpolished jade, to have already become a Divine Emperor's disciple? The Divine Emperor's discernment is indeed beyond our reach." Heart Realm Divine King whispered softly.
She had no eyes, but at that moment, Li Yuan felt as if a pair of eyes were upon him, thoroughly seeing through him.
"Li Yuan."
"You have a remarkable talent in the Spatial Law and also show great aptitude on the soul path... Your choice of the Illusory Mind Divine King's secret canon clearly indicates some thoughts." Heart Realm Divine King said in a low voice: "Unfortunately, we are not destined to be master and disciple. It's a rare find to meet someone like you..."
"You can go to the third floor of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace. I have given you authorization. You can receive the many legacies I have left behind, hoping it will provide some reference for your cultivation on the soul path."
"Furthermore, you are also a part of the Perception Star Emperor palace lineage, with some connection. I will give you a 'Mystic Ice Divine Water' as a gift, hoping it will be of some help." Heart Realm Divine King's voice was filled with regret.
She couldn't possibly compete with a Divine Emperor for a disciple... doing so would be a criticism of the Divine Emperor's teaching.
Li Yuan couldn't help but look at Winterglory Divine King.
Winterglory Divine King remained silent, seemingly in deep thought.
"Winterglory, rest assured, I don't seek any return from Li Yuan, so there's no need to be overly concerned." Heart Realm Divine King said again.
"Junior brother, quickly thank Heart Realm Divine King for her kindness." Winterglory Divine King finally smiled: "Heart Realm Divine King is a renowned figure in our Divine Court."
"Thank you, Heart Realm Divine King." Li Yuan bowed respectfully.
"Hmm, cultivate well."
Buzz~
That purple triangular prism crystal instantly disappeared.
...
The palace was left with only Li Yuan and Winterglory Divine King.
"Trouble you, senior brother." Li Yuan said respectfully.
"There's no need for such formalities. Since I am ordered to take care of you, it's natural for me to help you avoid some troubles." Winterglory Divine King sat cross-legged inside the palace. His body was so massive that even sitting, his head almost touched the palace's dome.
"You don't need to worry about the information leaking out." Winterglory Divine King said: "The number of divine kings in the Divine Court is not many, and each one belongs to the highest echelons. Even if they know you are a respected disciple, they will help keep your secret."
"Yes." Li Yuan felt relieved.
"These four divine kings, actually, the one who most desires to take you as a disciple is Heart Realm Divine King." Winterglory Divine King said: "After all, those with high talent on the soul path are extremely rare... like you, a demigod reaching the True God level soul, is even rarer than a ten-star vein."
Li Yuan listened.
He had heard Senior Meng say before that the last demigod with a True God level soul in the Chaos Divine Court was from tens of millions of years ago.
The probability was indeed lower than that of a ten-star vein.
"However, achieving great success on the soul path is extremely difficult." Winterglory Divine King sighed: "Among the many divine kings in the Chaos Divine Court, only Heart Realm Divine King has made significant achievements on the soul path, successfully opening the 'Heart Realm Path.'"
"Heart Realm Path?" Li Yuan was inwardly surprised, realizing that Heart Realm Divine King had also successfully opened her own path.
Li Yuan's horizons had far surpassed this, and he had read many brief introductions of various divine kings' supreme techniques in the third floor of the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace.
He also roughly understood that not every divine king could open their own path.
"But the weakness of the soul path is very obvious." Winterglory Divine King shook his head: "It mainly affects the performance of other divine kings, being more useful in group battles... but in individual combat, it's actually hard to gain an advantage."
Li Yuan listened.
These involved many secrets of the divine kings.
"On the other hand, studying the soul path will have some promoting effect on your study of the Spatial Law, though not significant." Winterglory Divine King said: "To become a divine king, one must thoroughly understand the Spatial Law... this is also why Heart Realm Divine King didn't come to take you as a disciple before."
Li Yuan instantly understood.
Matter is the foundation of all. No matter how high one's achievements on the soul path, if one's star veins and law comprehension are not high enough, it's like water without a source.
"So, do I still need to go and receive the Heart Realm Divine King's legacy?" Li Yuan asked hesitantly.
"Yes."
"A complete Divine King's legacy is extremely valuable." Dong Mang Divine King smiled and said, "As your senior brother, I don't recommend you to follow the Soul Path, after all, you have the potential to become a Ten-star Vein. In the future, if you can create a Slaughter Dao like the 'Destruction Dao', your strength will be unimaginable."
"But if you can study a little and gain some expertise, it will also benefit your cultivation."
"You just need to prioritize your tasks." Dong Mang Divine King said.
"Yes." Li Yuan replied, but he had his own thoughts.
Soul Path? Material Path?
For him, both were still too distant. For now, he would cultivate both, and everything else could wait until he became a Heaven Deity.
"Also."
"The 'Mystic Ice Divine Water' given to you by the Heart Realm Divine King is a rare treasure produced in a dangerous place called 'Mystic Ice Dream Realm', deep within the dark regions of the universe." Dong Mang Divine King explained, "Only those with extremely high attainments on the Soul Path can venture there; even a Divine Emperor would find it difficult to enter..."
"This treasure is even more precious than the Spatial Star Emperor Fruit I gave you."
Li Yuan was secretly amazed, such a rare treasure? "The Heart Realm Divine King doesn't ask for anything in return, but instead actively resolves the cause and effect." Dong Mang Divine King smiled, "That's why I allowed you to accept this treasure."
Li Yuan understood.
"This favor must be remembered in my heart." Li Yuan said.
"Mhm." Dong Mang Divine King nodded.
He had just volunteered to help Li Yuan resolve the cause and effect, but if Li Yuan chose to repay the favor, he wouldn't say anything more.
No matter how Li Yuan chose, the result was his to bear.
The impact of cause and effect is twofold: one is the actual influence between the two parties, and the other is the perception in their hearts.
The path is determined by the heart.
Just like a demonic figure who has slaughtered countless lives, if he firmly believes that 'destroying the heavens and earth is absolutely correct', then through endless slaughter, he can achieve the ultimate path.
In the heavens and earth, there is no distinction between 'good and evil', it all lies in the hearts of people.
"Little junior brother."
"Your understanding of the laws is already quite high. If you want to continue improving, it's unlikely to be achieved in a short time." Dong Mang Divine King said, "In fact, at the Demigod Realm, whether your understanding of the laws has reached the Heavenly Deity level or whether you've passed through the 12th layer of the Sourcefire Realm, it's not that important."
"What's important is the Ten-star Vein."
"Once you become a Ten-star Vein, there's no need to linger any longer." Dong Mang Divine King advised, "Becoming a True God or a Heavenly Deity as soon as possible is the right path."
Li Yuan listened intently, many powerful Demigods in history, upon reaching the limit of their Star Vein, would often choose to break through.
"Alright."
"Work hard, junior brother. As your senior brother, I look forward to your early ascension to Divine King." Dong Mang Divine King said.
In an instant, his massive body dissipated.
Only Li Yuan remained in the hall.
"I never expected..."
"So many Divine Kings came to compete for disciples, and yet I still gained so much." Li Yuan thought to himself, "The favor of the Heart Realm Divine King, I'm afraid I can only find a way to repay it after becoming a Divine King."
Huff!
Li Yuan's consciousness left the Dream Realm.
...
That day, the Heart Realm Divine King sent his seven-colored automaton to deliver the 'Mystic Ice Divine Water', along with instructions on how to use it.
Following the instructions, Li Yuan proceeded to refine it.
"Boom, rumble~" This endless mysterious divine water was not a real object but a creation formed by 'Soul Force' through extremely profound means.
With a slight refinement, the Mystic Ice Divine Water surged into Li Yuan's Mind Void Realm.
Just like a tree nourished by the source of life, Li Yuan's Mind Void Realm quickly became more stable and vast.
Even his soul became stronger, advancing directly from level 62 to level 63.
"What a miraculous treasure."
"My soul has already reached the current limit, even if I cultivate the 'Law Heaven Earth' and strengthen my body to the Demigod Realm, it only elevated my soul to level 62. This Mystic Ice Divine Water can still break through the limit?" Li Yuan was stunned.
Moreover, Li Yuan sensed very clearly that the Mystic Ice Divine Water he had refined was probably less than one-tenth digested... Most of the power was hidden within the Mind Void Realm, making it even more stable.
"My cultivation is too low."
"If I were a True God now, with this ultimate treasure, my soul could very likely advance to the Heavenly Deity level in one go." Li Yuan thought to himself.
However, this was also a kind of foundation.
In the future, when Li Yuan engages in battles and his Soul Force is greatly consumed, even to the point where his Mind Void Realm is at risk of collapse.
These hidden powers of the divine water will quickly transform and replenish Li Yuan's consumption.
"They will play their role again when I become a True God." Li Yuan was very satisfied with the effect of the Mystic Ice Divine Water.
...
It took Li Yuan nearly a month to refine the Mystic Ice Divine Water, after which he directly went to the Ten Thousand Dharmas Palace to receive the Heart Realm Divine King's legacy.
The legacy of the Heart Realm Divine King was called 'Heart Realm'.
The legacy of a Divine King and the legacy of a Divine King's cultivation method are different... For instance, the 'Illusory Mind Divine Canon' only includes the insights into the four divine spear techniques of the Illusory Mind Divine King.
But 'Heart Realm' not only contains the six great divine king cultivation methods and six thousand heavenly god cultivation methods created by the Heart Realm Divine King, but also encompasses a large number of his insights into his cultivation path and soul path.
Humm~
In Li Yuan's Soul Palace, in addition to the four books of the Perception Star Divine Emperor and the divine spear of the Illusory Mind Divine King, another sphere that was both real and illusory took shape.
This sphere seemed to contain endless heavens and earth, and it was the legacy imprint of the Heart Realm Divine King.
"You have not yet become a Heavenly Deity."
"Therefore, regarding my insights as a Divine King, you only need to learn the portion below the Divine King level for now." The Heart Realm Divine King left a message in his legacy, "Wait until you become a Heavenly Deity in the future, then gradually comprehend it."
Just as the last three techniques of the 'Illusory Mind Divine Canon' were currently inaccessible to Li Yuan, so was the Divine King portion of the Heart Realm Divine King's legacy.
But even so.
The first half of the legacy below the Divine King level alone had already benefited Li Yuan immensely.
The vast and profound!
Especially the construction of "Heart Realm" has opened Li Yuan's eyes.
"Compared to the 'Heart Realm', my previous cultivation of 'Heart Realm Ten Thousand Transformations' is too rudimentary." Li Yuan secretly sighed.
"Heart Realm Ten Thousand Transformations" was created by Jue Xing Shen Di... But the cultivation methods of the Divine Kings are not necessarily stronger than the Divine Kings. After all, the paths are different.
Like the Divine Kings who have opened their own paths.
Some special methods are beyond the Divine Kings.
"Heart Realm" is a better cultivation guide for the soul path and the Heart Realm.
It's a great help.
In the soul path, the achievements of the Heart Realm Divine King are weaker than those of the Divine Kings... Nai He Li Yuan could only get a part of the Heart Realm Divine King's inheritance.
"With the Heart Realm, plus the mysterious effect of 'Mystic Ice Divine Water', I am fully hopeful that the Heart Realm will become stronger." Li Yuan was full of expectations: "Let me awaken the speed of awakening the Life Star faster."
Up to now, Li Yuan has awakened nearly 6 million Life Stars.
As the number increases, Li Yuan's awakening speed of the Life Star is getting slower and slower.
Although it is unknown how other Ten-star Veins broke through.
Although there are many cultivators on the Source Mars, and there are various channels to know the news of the Heavenly Beings, there are even more... The other major forces in the Divine Realm will also pay close attention to the Source Mars.
This is a very normal thing.
There are so many cultivators on the Source Mars, and there are various channels to know the news of the Heavenly Beings, so the other major forces in the Divine Realm will also pay close attention to the Source Mars.
This is a very normal thing.
In a star domain far away from the 'Purple Constellation Divine Realm', here is a star domain named 'Abyssal Star Domain', which is the largest star domain in the Divine Realm and also the headquarters of the Abyssal Divine Court.
If the Chaos Divine Court is recognized as the first major force.
Then, the Abyssal Divine Court is recognized as the second major force... The two major forces fight each other, and even the Divine King Wars have broken out many times.
On an ancient planet, the entire planet is almost red.
Countless 'millions' of Demi-Gods fight on the planet, and a Demi-God dies.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"The Abyssal Trial, three million Demi-Gods, can only survive ten." A terrifying will enveloped the entire planet, affecting every Demi-God: "As long as you survive, you can become 'Abyssal Warriors' and contribute your lives to the supreme Abyssal Divine Emperor."
"Kill!"
"It's the iron law of the Abyss."
Under this intangible will and the bloody rules, the countless Demi-Gods on the planet become more and more crazy.
The bloody air soared!
Unlike the relatively stable and peaceful rule of the Chaos Divine Court... The rule of the Abyssal Divine Court is very bloody and cruel, and the entire domain is encouraged to kill.
This is a very different style of rule from the Chaos Divine Court.
Suddenly,
Hum~ In the starry sky outside the planet, a black-robed figure appeared, and he saluted respectfully: "Bloodeye Divine Lord, there is an important matter to report."
"Speak!" That powerful will echoed in the void.
"According to the data we have accumulated, he is a peerless genius with a probability of 99.9%, and the probability of becoming a Divine King is also over 1%. "
"His talent, looking at the entire Divine Realm, the contemporary countless Demi-Gods, all have the hope of vying for the first." That powerful will sank:
"Again, it can't be inferred for a lifetime."
The Demi-Gods only cultivate for hundreds of years, and they can't directly determine their achievements for the next tens of thousands of years.
Historically, most of the Divine Lords and Divine Kings showed their talent in the Demi-God realm. Even if they showed high talent in the Demi-God realm, they could only guarantee the 'lower limit'.
"Again, it's too early to say."
"Strictly monitor his whereabouts, pay attention to his clansmen, friends... Once there is an opportunity, kill him in advance." That powerful will sank: "I will report to the 'Abyssal Parliament', and mobilize more resources for him."
"Yes." The black-robed figure saluted.
The Abyssal Parliament, only the Divine Lords can participate... With Li Yuan's current talent, it's not worth reporting directly to the Divine King.
Of course, this is because the data obtained by the Abyssal Divine Court is 'weakened'.
If they know that Li Yuan has passed through the Heart Dream Road twelve times and the Source Fire Realm eleven layers... I'm afraid they will take action.
...
After obtaining the "Heart Realm", Li Yuan practiced for another two years, and his strength became even stronger.
He finally accepted the "Imperial Source Realm", which is the world opened by the Chaos Divine Court, and is rumored to contain many secrets.
"The Imperial Source Realm, which is the world opened by the Chaos Divine Court, is said to contain many secrets." Li Yuan secretly said.
The large number of trial tasks that the Source Fire Realm members can accept, and the only thing worth Li Yuan's effort to complete, is the Imperial Source Realm.
In the blink of an eye.
After buying a large number of treasures, just as Li Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly received a soul transmission.
"Big Brother."
"I succeeded, I came out of the Imperial Source Realm." Liu Bing's soul transmission was tinged with excitement.
Li Yuan was delighted, and after ten years, Liu Bing had returned from the Imperial Source Realm.
