Chapter 1020: Chapter 503 Divine Court Headquarters! Source Fire Star (12,000)_6
 

They have all gained ‘temporary access’ to the Source Fire Star and can easily sense Li Yuan’s identity aura.

“Greetings, Divine Son.”

“Greetings, Divine Son.” The Silver Garment Semi-Divines all bowed.

“On the Source Fire Star, Golden Garment Semi-Divines meeting Purple Garment need not bow, just call ‘Divine Son’,” Gao Yang explained, “but these temporary Silver Garment Semi-Divines must bow upon seeing Purple Garment.”

The Chaos Divine Court, as a massive power, has a clearly defined hierarchy.

“Booming~”

Nearby, waves of intense battle fluctuations transmitted, faintly causing the space to tremble.

“Hmm? A battle?” A hint of surprise flashed through Li Yuan’s eyes.

Soon after, Li Yuan saw a vast duel arena not far away.

The arena appeared only a few kilometers across, but inside, it spanned several hundred kilometers, covered by formations.

At this moment, a fierce battle was erupting within the arena.

A young man in white, holding a longsword, appeared rather unruly, fighting against a silver-armored woman wielding a long spear.

Neither of them used Body Refining Star Techniques.

The silver-armored woman’s spear technique was grand and unrestrained.

While the young man’s swordsmanship was graceful, like lightning and mist, each stroke seemed to ripple through the void layer by layer, completely suppressing the silver-armored woman.

Around the arena, dozens of people were watching the fight.

Judging by their identity aura, Li Yuan could confirm that these people were Golden Garment Semi-Divines.

“Impressive swordsmanship.” Li Yuan revealed a faint, inexplicable smile.

From Li Yuan’s perspective, just in terms of the intricacies of moves, the silver-armored woman’s spear technique was probably on par with his own.

As for the young man in white? His swordsmanship might be above his own.

“It’s Demigod Ning Chi and Demigod Nan Yu, they’re sparring again.” Gao Yang introduced from the side, “Divine Son, you may not know, that young man in white is named Ning Chi, incredibly powerful. In the last Golden Garment ranking battle, he was among the top fifty out of over ten thousand Golden Garment Semi-Divines.”

“And recently, his swordsmanship has broken through once again, completing the Tenth Realm of the Nine Heavens Palace. He is exceptionally talented and might become a Purple Garment Member in the next ranking battle.”

“Of course, compared to you, Divine Son, he’s far inferior.” Gao Yang flattered.

“Ning Chi?” Li Yuan smiled.

He had already known him long ago.

“What is the Nine Heavens Palace?” Li Yuan asked.

“The Nine Heavens Palace, located nearby, is a Trial Land on the Source Fire Star, specifically testing Demigod members’ understanding of the Dao and material combat techniques,” Gao Yang said, “while traversing the Nine Heavens Palace, things like secret treasures, star techniques, and soul secret techniques cannot be used at all.”

“The Nine Heavens Palace has a total of seventeen realms, with increasing difficulty.”

“In fact, across the Three Emperor Palaces, the Chaos Continent, and each Star Domain division, the Nine Heavens Palace is established.”

“It’s not only the Semi-Divine members who will attempt it, even True Gods and Heavenly Gods often challenge it to verify their gains.” Gao Yang said, “If Semi-Divine members reach the Tenth Realm, it is already quite remarkable.”

“The higher the Semi-Divine members reach, the richer their rewards will be.”

Li Yuan felt a hint of curiosity, even the Heavenly Gods attempt it?

While the two were conversing.

In the distance, on the arena, the spar between two Golden Garment members was nearing its end.

“Nan Yu, you’ve lost!”

The young man in white turned his divine sword, the sword light split into nine in the void, causing nine sword marks to appear, making the void ripple like tides, instantly knocking the silver-armored woman’s long spear out of her hand.

Her entire body involuntarily flew backwards.

“Ning Chi, wins!” A deep voice echoed in the arena, from the formation’s spirit.

In these sparring matches, the winner is determined by the formation’s spirit.

“I’ve lost! Ning Chi, this is the third time I’ve lost to you.” The silver-armored woman gritted her teeth, “Just wait, in the next Golden Garment ranking battle, I will certainly defeat you.”

Swoosh!

The silver-armored woman flew out of the arena.

“By the time of the Golden Garment ranking battle, I will beat you for the fourth time.” Demigod Ning Chi laughed, standing in the arena with his longsword, “From the Jue Xing lineage, if anyone dares to come up for a fight, feel free.”

“Jue Xing lineage?” Li Yuan murmured thoughtfully.

“Divine Son, all Semi-Divine members, unless under a master, are generally divided into one of the lineages within the Three Great Emperor Palaces based on their hometown.” Gao Yang said softly, “For example, your hometown ‘Mohe Star Domain division’ belongs to the Jue Xing lineage, so you are also part of the Jue Xing lineage.”

“Chaos, Jue Xing, Heart Dream… the three lineages have always been competing.” Gao Yang said.

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Factionalism is inevitable in any great power… a certain level of internal competition may not be a bad thing.

The Three Emperor Palaces are just the large factions.

Within different regions, smaller factional divisions likely exist as well.

Outside the arena.

“Ning Chi is indeed impressive.”

“Sweeping through Jue Xing lineage.” Many of the Golden Garment Semi-Divines watching smiled.

“The Tenth Realm swordsmanship, even among True Gods, is considerable. Among Golden Garment members, only three have publicly passed the Tenth Realm so far.”

“Too arrogant.” Other Golden Garment members grit their teeth with bitterness, but are helpless.

Cultivators cherish power.

Although Ning Chi is arrogant, his strength is undeniably strong, significantly stronger than during the Ancestral Realm battle.

Suddenly.

“Brother Ning Chi, long time no see.” A leisurely voice echoed across the plaza and into the arena.

Swish! Swish!

This voice immediately attracted a lot of attention, with many turning their heads to look over.

At this sight, they turned pale.

“Purple Garment?”

“Why do I sense a Purple Garment aura? Haven’t seen it before!”
