High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 552

Chapter 552: Chapter 319: The True Meaning of Wind! The Prodigies of the Myriad Demons Civilization
 

“Oh right, I have to remind you first,” Elder Qiu chuckled, “If you want to enter the inner layer of the mothership, you must at least become the Direct Disciple of a certain Alien God.”

“Inner Sect Disciple?” Li Yuan pondered.

“Each Alien God has left behind three different levels of inheritance: Direct Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, and Disciple by name… Among them, becoming a Direct Disciple or an Inner Sect Disciple isn’t solely about strength but about your choice,” Elder Qiu explained.

“Choice?” Li Yuan was puzzled.

“With gains come losses. The many Alien Gods left behind their heritage with the thought of passing on their teachings as well as the commands of the Heavenly Serpent Divine… but they all have their own demands,” Elder Qiu said with a smile, “With your talent, if you choose the right path, there is hope for you to become a Direct Disciple, but you have to make a choice.”

“If you can’t do it, it’s best not to agree, otherwise it can easily affect your future.”

Li Yuan suddenly understood; he could comprehend the reasoning.

One must act for their own gain or be obliterated by heaven and earth. Even the Ancient Torch Divine had something to request when leaving behind an inheritance, it’s just that his own strength was still weak, and Gu You hadn’t told him till now.

“Also,” Elder Qiu continued with a smile, “I remind you once more, according to the rules, fighting is forbidden anywhere within the mothership, especially within the Alien Gods’ domains and the inner layer areas. If the enforcement squad were still present, any outbreak of battle would likely result in the combatants being killed on the spot by the enforcement squad.”

“It’s just a pity, the enforcement squad left long ago…” Elder Qiu shook his head, and his figure thunderously dissipated.

Li Yuan stood there, a trace of astonishment on his face.

“What does Elder Qiu mean?” Li Yuan felt a bit puzzled, “Last time he warned me, and then I immediately encountered two Great Beast Emperors and a fight broke out.”

“He warned me again.”

“Could it be that other potentates are converging here?” A sliver of murderous intent flickered across Li Yuan’s eyes, “Is it the Myriad Scales Beast Emperor from the Three Great Beast Emperors? Or those geniuses from the Myriad Demons Civilization?”

Only these individuals had entered the mothership.

“No matter.”

“At present, it’s unclear whether others have entered the inner layer or not,” Li Yuan thought to himself, “The Myriad Scales Beast Emperor has never appeared; it’s very possible that he entered the inner layer through the ‘Heavenly Serpent Bloodline’ trial.”

“And the geniuses of the Myriad Demons Civilization, I’ve never encountered them. Have they all entered the inner layer?” Li Yuan muttered to himself.

“No matter.”

“In any case, according to Elder Qiu, you can actually fight anywhere within the entire mothership,” Li Yuan thought to himself.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan had truly stepped beneath the first Alien God statue. The statue was incredibly lifelike, its eyes cold, seemingly filled with anger, and it radiated an endless ferocious aura.

The Vein of Fire!

This Alien God clearly became divine through the Law of Fire!

“Stone wall,” Li Yuan’s gaze fell upon the nine stone walls, on which were engraved marks resembling flames.

The nine stone walls, each with a different flame carved into it, emitted unique mysterious vibrations…

Li Yuan contemplated; through the process of comprehending the Mysteries of True Intent of both Earth and Wind, as one principle leads to all methods, he had inadvertently also come to understand other mysteries of heaven and earth, such as the Mysteries of Water and Metal, both of which he had already crossed the Fifth Stage threshold… yet for the Mystery of Fire and Thunder, he hadn’t even reached 1% of the Fifth Stage.

“The Mystery of Fire is too profound,” Li Yuan shook his head, able to sense the mystery of the nine great walls with his realm.

But he just didn’t understand it.

…Time passed, and Li Yuan had preliminarily observed all six Alien God statues!

During the observation process, Li Yuan discovered that each of the Six Great Alien Gods had become divine through one of the six Laws of Fire, Wind, Earth, Metal, Thunder, and Water, and the stone walls they left behind naturally contained the respective mysteries of these laws.

“If I go on to forcefully comprehend the Law of Fire or Metal, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to become the Disciple by name of an Alien God,” Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Everyone has their strengths.

His strongest was still the Earth Vein, followed by the Wind Vein… in other areas, after all, he wasn’t skilled and expending ten times the effort, he feared he would only gain a fraction of the results.

“I’ll just choose from among the Earth and Wind Alien Gods,” Li Yuan approached the statue of the Earth System Alien God.

This was an old man with a profound and simple demeanor, kind-eyed and benevolent, with a compassionate appearance.

Standing under this statue made Li Yuan feel very warm.

“Stone wall,” Li Yuan silently resonated with the first wall, which was engraved with a vast and heavy land.

“The great land is heavy.”

Li Yuan, who had already gained keen insights into the True Meaning of Earth, and solely relying on the Mysteries of True Intent of Earth, could already rival Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses… one could imagine how fast his progress had been.

In just a quarter of an hour, Li Yuan had completely understood the mystery held within the first stone wall.

“Coalesce!” With a thought from Li Yuan, the power of heaven and earth gathered, forming a corresponding pattern in front of the first stone wall, emanating identical mysterious vibrations.

“The second stone wall,” Li Yuan looked towards the next stone wall, which, like the first, was engraved with a vast expanse of land, only this time there was a seed within it.

On the third stone wall, the seed had sprouted.

On the fourth stone wall, the sprouted seed broke through the ground amidst the vast lands.

The fifth stone wall…

…

In three days’ time, Li Yuan was constantly immersed in contemplating the nine stone walls left by the Earth System Alien God, and he had understood up to the sixth stone wall in one go… then he was halted by the seventh stone wall.

According to Elder Qiu’s guidance, only by understanding six stone walls, one could hope to obtain the Heritage of the Alien God.

But Li Yuan himself hesitated.

“The path is not right.”

“The path pursued by this Earth System Alien God is different from mine,” Li Yuan gradually realized this point from the nine stone walls: “This Alien God’s contemplation was on the aspect of ‘nurturing’; the vast land is indeed expansive and nurtures all things, providing sustenance to them.”
