Chapter 547: The Divine King's Weapon! The Master's Expectations

"The Source Universe?" Li Yuan hesitated slightly, referring to the information he had obtained from the Source Mars.

According to Li Yuan's knowledge, the Source Universe had been in constant conflict with the Chaos Divine Court for a long time, and the two sides had been fighting continuously.

"Including the Source Universe, but not limited to it." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor slowly said, "You should know that our homeland Divine Domain has twelve Divine Courts."

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded.

This information, he had already learned it all when he was in Source Mars.

"The strength of the Divine Courts can be gauged from the size of their territories. The more powerful ones naturally occupy more vast domains." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor explained, "Among the twelve Divine Courts, the strongest is our Chaos Divine Court, followed by the Abyss Divine Court, then the Starry Sky Divine Court, Source Universe Divine Court, and the Heavenly Dragon Divine Court..."

"The remaining seven great Divine Courts, such as the Nine True Gods Divine Court, the Flame Cloud Divine Court, and so on, are relatively weaker."

"But even if they are weaker, they are still Divine Courts, all established by Divine Emperors." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor said.

"Apart from the Divine Emperors who founded the Divine Courts, there are also several Divine Emperors who haven't established vast powers. Their whereabouts are very secretive..." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor spoke softly, "These hidden existences sometimes remain unseen for long periods, and even the current Divine Kings may not be aware of them."

Li Yuan silently sighed.

If this was the case, then over the long years, the number of Divine Emperors born in their homeland Divine Domain would likely be around twenty... Indeed, it far surpassed the Lingmu Universe.

However, Divine Emperors rarely appeared in their homeland Divine Domain, and most Heavenly Deities would find it difficult to meet one in their lifetime.

The Divine Kings were the actual 'bosses' of the various Divine Courts.

"Each Emperor Realm cultivator has their own pursuits."

"They are either cooperative or antagonistic. Like me, I've slain the true bodies of the Abyss Divine Emperor and the Source Universe Divine Emperor several times, but I've also cooperated with them on numerous occasions." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor said indifferently.

Li Yuan listened with increasing awe.

To be ranked among the top five Divine Courts, the strength of the Abyss Divine Emperor and the Source Universe Divine Emperor was unimaginable. Yet, Perceptive Star Divine Emperor had slain their true bodies several times... Just what kind of strength did this teacher of his possess?

"However, Emperor Realms have their own pride."

"Ten Star Pulse geniuses, Emperor Realms would generally be willing to take them as direct disciples. But if an antagonistic force is born, we usually wouldn't go out of our way to suppress them." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor said, "After all, Ten Star Pulse geniuses, the vast majority would only become Divine Kings."

Li Yuan listened attentively.

Ten Star Pulse geniuses, in the Divine Realm, would still be a minority.

"Only the Perfect Ten Star Pulse is different. Its significance is extraordinary."

"So, if your Divine Body's power is revealed at the normal Ten Star Pulse standard, with a Divine Court backing you up, other Divine Emperors would usually not target you." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor said, "Heart Dream Senior will also secretly cover up some of your Perfect Ten Star Pulse traces, making it difficult for others to trace back to you. He specializes in this path."

"Thank you, Master." Li Yuan said respectfully, "Then when can I reveal myself?"

"When your strength catches up to your Winter Glow senior brother, it will be about right." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor said, "As long as you hide in our homeland or within the Emperor Palace, you won't have to fear Divine Emperors."

Li Yuan was stunned.

The Winter Glow senior brother was a Divine King... Even if he became a Heavenly Deity, his Divine Body would only be comparable to the Divine Kings. His realm would still have a significant gap.

The strength of the Divine Body was just a part of one's overall power.

"Disciple remembers." Li Yuan said, then asked, "Master, will the Divine Court know that I've become a Perfect Ten Star Pulse?"

"Suspicion is natural." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor smiled, "But rest assured, I and Heart Dream Senior will naturally help you handle it. As long as you don't expose yourself, it'll be fine."

"Yes." Li Yuan felt relieved.

"Now, focus your mind and calm your qi. I'm going to extract the 'Source Crystal' from your Soul Illusion World." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor said.

Li Yuan calmed his mind.

Hum~ An invisible fluctuation passed by, and before Li Yuan could sense anything, he was astonished to find that the Source Crystal in his Soul Illusion World had disappeared without a trace.

"The Emperor Origin Realm is established by the Chaos Divine Emperor. In essence, it allows the Divine Court to birth some Half-God geniuses and have them do some things that only Half-Gods can do." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor sighed, "Most are trivial matters, but accumulated over time, there might occasionally be some unexpected gains."

"Like exploring some mysterious places, going to other universes to learn from teachers, collect some special materials..."

Li Yuan secretly sighed.

Trivial matters? Those who can execute these tasks are all top-tier Half-Gods of the Divine Court, and most are extremely dangerous.

It's only trivial to Divine Emperors.

"Normally, the reward for completing the task is a 'Emperor Origin' treasure."

"Emperor Origin, in the Divine Realm, is exclusively owned by the Chaos Divine Emperor. Looking across the endless universe, there aren't many powers that can nurture such treasures... But you've already become a Perfect Ten Star Pulse, and even giving you an Emperor Origin won't be of use to you." Perceptive Star Divine Emperor sighed, "Additionally, with your performance this time, I'll specially prepare a decent weapon for you."

Li Yuan's heart stirred.

Even a Divine Emperor called it a decent weapon; to him, it was undoubtedly a top-tier treasure.

"Take a look."

Perceptive Star Divine Emperor suddenly raised his hand, pointing to a distant river that emitted a seven-colored glow, its waters rippling.

A silver Divine Dragon suddenly rose, its dragon aura vast.

"Huh? A Divine Dragon?" Li Yuan was surprised, and looked closely.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that it wasn't a Divine Dragon, but a silver Divine Spear.

Beautiful!

On the body of the Divine Spear, countless fine dragon scales were subtly engraved, shimmering with a rippling glow, giving people the feeling of a true Divine Dragon.

"This Divine Spear, is considered a top-tier treasure."

Action: Li Yuan listens.

According to his knowledge, Huanxin Shenwang, despite being an eight-star lineage, had power comparable to many ten-star lineage Shenwang, due to his extremely powerful Dao.

In some ways, his Dao was even stronger than that of some Shen Di.

"But with gain comes loss. The stronger the Dao, the more unimaginable the power will be once it crosses into the Divine Emperor realm." Perceive Star Shen Di spoke slowly, "For example, Chaos Shen Di. His power is renowned throughout the universe as one of the mightiest Shen Di, precisely because his 'Chaos Dao' is incredibly powerful."

Li Yuan listened with awe but couldn't help but speak up, "Master, I once heard Senior Meng say that Chaos Shen Di..."

"Chaos Shen Di did indeed reach the end of his lifespan." Perceive Star Shen Di's voice carried a hint of laughter, "Saying that he passed away, that he died, is not wrong. He will also not appear again, and this is not a secret among the peak powerhouses of the universe."

"But Shen Di are hard to extinguish."

"Saying that he's still alive is also not wrong. You'll naturally understand once you reach Shen Wang Ji." Perceive Star Shen Di said.

Li Yuan understood and stopped asking.

"You are indeed referencing Huanxin Shenwang's path, and your talent in the soul path is exceptional... But whether you choose to follow this path in the future still requires careful consideration." Perceive Star Shen Di said, "You have time to think about it."

"If you open a powerful path, it will make you stronger. Combined with your perfect ten-star lineage foundation, once you become a Shen Di, surpassing Chaos Shen Di is a possibility."

"But there's also the possibility of being stuck in Shen Wang Ji."

Li Yuan fell into deep contemplation.

Sometimes, choices were more important than effort.

"When you reach the Celestial God or Divine King realm, as your teacher, I will prepare a gift for you and provide guidance as much as possible." Perception Star Divine Emperor's voice echoed, "But the final decision on how to choose still lies with you."

"The path to the Imperial Origin Realm cannot be taught."

"In the vast universe, there are some extremely powerful and unique life forms. For example, in the outer universe, in the dark regions, Star Beasts are born, but they cannot reproduce. Their life forms are bizarre and varied, mostly at the Void Deity and True God levels, but some are also at the Celestial God level."

"Among them, the most powerful are the 'Star Beast Sovereigns'. Most Star Beast Sovereigns are born at the Divine King level, and only a very small number break through from the Celestial God level."

Li Yuan was stunned by what he heard.

Star Beast Sovereigns? Of course, he knew about them.

The 'Spatial Star Emperor Fruit' given to him by his senior brother, Winter Glow Divine King, if traced back to its origin, was also related to the Star Beast Sovereigns.

But these Star Beast Sovereigns were born at the Divine King level?

This indeed exceeded Li Yuan's imagination.

Even the most powerful divine beasts in the universe, like the Holy Blood Celestial Serpent and the Five Clawed Golden Dragon, could only reach the peak of True God with the power of their bloodline.

"But this is the limit. Star Emperor Sovereigns are born and die generation after generation."

"The operation of the universe's origin is a combination of the source of laws. The most powerful is the source of spatial laws... Therefore, all life born in the universe cannot transcend the source of spatial laws."

"Only by paving a path."

"To pave a path, the comprehension of this path is your own, and only then can you hope to completely transcend heaven and earth."

"However, we are born in the vastness of heaven and earth. Let alone transcending heaven and earth, even paving a path based on spatial laws is extremely difficult." Perception Star Divine Emperor sighed.

"Both I and the Chaos Divine Emperor have many disciples, and Senior Meng has guided countless juniors... But in the long years, not a single Imperial Origin Realm has been taught." Perception Star Divine Emperor said, "The birth of every Imperial Origin Realm..."

"Paving the way forward depends on oneself."

"Even if your foundation is perfect, in theory, becoming a Divine King is not difficult. In the end, you must still comprehend the spatial laws step by step." Perception Star Divine Emperor explained, "There is a difference between becoming a Divine King in ten thousand years and becoming one in two hundred thousand years... With limited lifespan and numerous restrictions in the operation of heaven and earth, even the Imperial Origin Realm is bound by many constraints. The earlier you become a Divine King, the better."

"On the path to the Imperial Origin Realm, you must strive at every step to reach the pinnacle."

"In the Demigod Realm, you reached the ultimate realm in history... But in the Celestial God and Divine King realms, how far you can go depends on your choices and efforts from now on." Perception Star Divine Emperor said, "We have high expectations of you."

The 'we' he referred to were the three Divine Emperors of the Chaos Divine Court.

"Disciple will definitely strive." Li Yuan said solemnly.

In the Demigod Realm, with numerous opportunities and his own efforts, he had reached the pinnacle and became the first perfect Ten Star Vein in the history of the universe. Looking at the countless universes, it was likely that there were very few like him...

With the foundation of the Demigod Realm, becoming a Divine King was almost effortless.

But what about becoming stronger?

Reaching the level of Perception Star Master? Relying solely on the foundation of a perfect Ten Star Vein was not enough.

Li Yuan's heart was also filled with ambition.

A soldier who didn't aspire to be a general was not a good soldier. Now, he had achieved the perfect Ten Star Vein.

To say he didn't yearn to become a Divine Emperor would be a lie.

Countless Celestial Gods and Divine Kings, many were only at the Eight Star Vein level... Becoming a Divine Emperor was almost impossible, with no hope at all.

But his foundation gave him a great chance.

"Hiss!"

Perception Star Divine Emperor's voice echoed, and a beam of light condensed, slowly descending and landing in front of Li Yuan.

"What's this?" Li Yuan asked.

"This is my token of trust."

"The path of the strong is filled with countless difficulties. One must rely on oneself to emerge from blood and fire. I will give you one chance. The treasure you obtained earlier can actually withstand even a Divine Emperor."

"What?" Li Yuan was shocked.

The token with engraved beast patterns was so powerful?

This was different from what Star Senior had told him before!

"But against a Divine King, it's quite useless. So, if you encounter great danger in your future cultivation journey, crush this token, and I will come to your aid." Perception Star Divine Emperor remained with his back to Li Yuan, "But you only have one chance."

"When you become a Celestial God, I will prepare a gift for you."

"If you have such a powerful foundation and numerous treasures for protection, but you still frequently seek help from your teacher before becoming a Divine King... Then you will disappoint me." Perception Star Divine Emperor said.

"Disciple understands." Li Yuan nodded.

Between master and disciple.

A teacher was not a nanny... Li Yuan secretly made a decision.

He must strive to rely on himself as much as possible on the path ahead, so Perception Star Master wouldn't have to worry.

"Alright."

"Li Yuan, my disciple, I have prepared everything for you. It's time to send you back." Perception Star Divine Emperor's voice boomed, "I hope you become a Divine King soon."

"I also look forward to standing alongside you at the peak of the universe, becoming eternal companions on the path."

~Hush~

Silently, an invisible spacetime force swept by, and Li Yuan disappeared from the wooden ship.

Perception Star Divine Emperor remained with his back to the wooden ship, his gaze distant.

In the vast and endless river, the water flowed, and faintly, some enormous shadows could be seen.

"The River of Time."

"When can we transcend?" Perception Star Divine Emperor shook his head, and with a slight movement of the wooden ship, he too disappeared.
