Chapter 566: Chapter 323 Mortal Domain, Divine Realm, Heavenly Divine (Extra 36)
 

Li Yuan’s heart was shocked as he listened.

He had never heard of such a treasure before.

Until now, the only things he knew that could enhance Law Compatibility were auxiliary Star Techniques for cultivation, such as “True Solution of the Earth Star Vein” and “Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation”, and these required extremely high demands on the Star Meridian, which were very stringent.

“Kid, it’s your luck to have obtained the Spirit of the Heavenly Wind in this barren Mortal Domain,” the Black Snake Phantom said with a smile. “Only a Hierarch could bring it out. Ordinary True Gods wouldn’t even hope to have it.”

Li Yuan was secretly astonished. A True God?

According to what Gu You had said before, a Fifth Order Divine Being could only be considered a Pseudo-God.

Looking at it now, the Heavenly Serpent Divine ‘Qiu Bingzun’ must be a very strong existence even among True Gods.

At the same time, Li Yuan also remembered the term ‘Mortal Domain’. Was this referring to the Dimensional Domain he was in?

“Don’t listen to his exaggeration,” Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. “Such origin treasures like Spirit of the Heavenly Wind are indeed good, but some super beings in the vast Divine Realm can still take them out. Yet when they cultivate their disciples, not every one of them can become a True God. Even igniting the Divine Fire is difficult for some.”

“External things are only an aid.”

“Just like the Heaven Snake, True Phoenix, and Divine Dragon clans, they are destined to become gods by nature. But so what? Most can only ignite the Divine Fire.”

“Whereas the Human Race, spread across all domains and being mostly frail at birth, has continuously given birth to super beings that shakes the Divine Realm over the long years.” The Heavenly Serpent Divine shook his head. “Now, Humans have the most dominant presences in the Divine Realm.”

The Divine Realm? Li Yuan held his breath.

This was not the first time he had heard this term.

“Ultimately, it depends on the individual,” Qiu Bingzun said, looking at Li Yuan. “The Spirit of the Heavenly Wind, or your future cultivation of the ‘Heavenly Wind Star Veins True Explanation’, can greatly speed up your cultivation rate, but the many bottlenecks on the path to becoming a god… it still depends on your spirit.”

“Law Compatibility is a part of the talent for Enlightenment, but it’s not everything,” Qiu Bingzun said.

“It can only be said that it increases the probability of you becoming a strong being, allowing you to walk the path of the strong faster and more steadily.”

Li Yuan listened attentively.

These were the experience summaries of an extremely powerful being.

But Li Yuan also understood that their perspectives were different.

To Qiu Bingzun, perhaps achieving Demigod or Fifth Order Divine Being was nothing.

But for himself, for the entire Seven Star Civilization.

If they could give birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being, that would be a tremendous event, enough to change the fate of the entire civilization.

“In any case.”

“Thank you, Elder, for this treasure,” Li Yuan said respectfully. “May I know what you want me to do?”

From his previous interactions with Qiu Bingzun, Li Yuan was clear that the other party was likely not choosing a Successor.

Otherwise, it would not have been so much trouble.

“No rush.”

“Let me tell you slowly,” Qiu Bingzun said with a smile. “Have you heard of Nine Leaves Nine Mountains?”

A hint of confusion appeared in Li Yuan’s eyes. What was that?

“How about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?” Qiu Bingzun asked again.

A glint of light flashed through Li Yuan’s eyes, and after hesitating, he nodded. “I’ve heard an elder in my clan mention it once. It seems to be a mysterious place within the Dimensional Domain that only Demigods are qualified to explore.”

His teacher Lie Feng had mentioned it once.

Back then, Lie Feng and the Alliance Hierarch Dongfang Ji met in the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.

“Hmm, it seems your civilization is quite powerful indeed. That makes sense, you managed to cultivate powerful Body Refinement Techniques, and your civilization has quite a few Fourth-order Battleships… It should have given birth to a Fifth Order Divine Being,” Qiu Bingzun said.

Li Yuan did not speak.

Divine Beings? His civilization did not have any… but the Alliance Hierarch could bring out treasures that were probably stronger than many Fifth Order Divine Beings.

Qiu Bingzun said, “You must have guessed that I am not a creature from your Mortal Domain, but rather from the Divine Realm.”

“Elder,” Li Yuan couldn’t help saying, “What exactly are the ‘Mortal Domain’ and ‘Divine Realm’?”

“The universe is vast, and the heaven and earth revolve, filled with countless unknowns. The Divine Realm and the Mortal Domain are both part of the Dimensional River, belonging to a Starry Sky,” Qiu Bingzun said with enigmatic colors in his eyes. “The so-called Divine Realm is essentially an extremely vast and expansive ‘super Dimensional Domain’ where Origin Power is rich, filled with countless Life Planets… Over billions of years, it has developed dazzling Origin Power technology and given birth to many powerful Divine beings.”

“Gods compete for supremacy, numerous clans strive for dominance, and many powerful sects, kingdoms, and civilizations rise, while others are destroyed, among them some that had given birth to Heavenly Divines, great realms and civilizations have been annihilated,” a touch of melancholy flashed in Qiu Bingzun’s eyes.

Li Yuan was also shocked, taking a deep breath.

Goodness! The outside world was so vast and expansive, just hearing about it made one’s blood boil with excitement.

“The Divine Realm is the core of this vast Starry Sky, the essence, the prime region,” Qiu Bingzun continued. “While the Dimensional Domain you are in is an ‘ordinary Dimensional Domain’ that is part of the operation of the Divine Realm, it also has a vast Source operating inside it, maintaining the stability of the entire Dimensional Domain.”

“However, ordinary Dimensional Domains are too weak compared to the Divine Realm, usually having far fewer resources and treasures, and produce fewer Divine Beings. The places where Mortal lives reside, hence they are also called ‘Mortal Domains’,” Qiu Bingzun explained.

Li Yuan finally understood.

The so-called Mortal Domain and Divine Realm, in essence, don’t differ fundamentally, it’s just a matter of strength.

“Of course, under the operation of a common Dimensional Domain’s origin, to maintain stability, over the course of evolution, there is often a gradual formation of barriers between planes. Different planes are protected by the laws of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the divines within the domain to traverse the starry sky and reach different dimensional planes.”

“Ultimately, the majority of divines will follow the guidance of the origin of the Dimensional Domain and head towards the Divine Realm.” Qiu Bingzun laughed, “A vast number of Mortal Domains revolve around the Divine Realm.”

“With a large congregation of divines, plus those born within the Divine Realm itself… naturally, the Divine Realm is filled with wonders.”

Li Yuan nodded slightly, this did remind him of a term—ascension.

But it seemed not quite the same.

“Elder, are there many divines within the Divine Realm?” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask.

“Many! If there weren’t many divines, could it be called the Divine Realm?” Qiu Bingzun said indifferently, “But in some sense, not many either.”

Li Yuan was stunned.

“Kid.” The Black Snake Phantom beside them laughed, “There indeed is a large number of divines, but that’s the total number… The Divine Realm is vast and boundless, with countless stars and lives incalculable. Just like in your lesser civilizations, divines often serve as the leaders of a civilization.”

“In the Divine Realm, even a Fifth Order Divine Being could easily rule a Life Planet, mastering the life and death of billions.”

Li Yuan understood.

Even in the Divine Realm, a Fifth Rank Divine Being was a very strong existence.

It was just that the Divine Realm was so vast that it made ordinary divines seem insignificant.

“If that’s the case, why would those divines want to go to the Divine Realm?” Li Yuan couldn’t resist asking, “Could it be that the operation of the laws of heaven and earth forces divines to go to the Divine Realm?”

Staying in the Mortal Domain, as a leader of a civilization, one could live freely and at ease.

“That won’t be forced.”

“However, under the operation of the Dimensional Domain’s origin, it is not keen on the emergence of extremely powerful divines. The stronger one’s essence, the more they will face the invisible suppression of the origin,” Qiu Bingzun explained, “Just like you now, you can venture through numerous Second Level and Third Level Star Realms.”

“But what about the divines? Fifth Level Star Domains are quite rare,” Qiu Bingzun shook his head, “Being a leader of a civilization might be exciting at first, especially when friends and loved ones are possibly still around.”

“But what about after five hundred years? A thousand years? Two thousand years?” Qiu Bingzun said with some emotion, “A life without purpose is very boring, being trapped in a single Dimensional Plane is like being in a cage, and former friends and loved ones pass away one after another, scarcely leaving behind any attachment… When you look around, all you see are your juniors and descendants.”

“Can you imagine what that kind of life is like?” Qiu Bingzun looked towards Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was silent.

“The most crucial thing is lifespan,” Qiu Bingzun said, “Demigods live for a thousand years.”

“At Fifth Rank, igniting Divine Fire, they become Pseudo-Gods, living for five thousand years.”

“At Sixth Rank, they begin to solidify their Divine Heart, becoming True Gods, with a lifespan of thirty thousand years.”

“And at Seventh Rank, refining their Divine Nature, they become Heavenly Divines, living for three hundred thousand years!” Qiu Bingzun spoke softly.

Li Yuan held his breath.

“Pseudo-Gods, True Gods, Heavenly Divines?” Li Yuan finally understood the divisions among the divines.

Li Yuan was also shocked by the lifespans of True Gods and Heavenly Divines.

Three hundred thousand years? What an unfathomably long time!

“Pseudo-Gods and True Gods, not fast enough to fly, still need to use technological means to roam the cosmos, making use of Star Gates for passage; but Heavenly Divines, on their own, can traverse the cosmic space, shattering planets without effort.”

“In the eyes of the Divine Realm, they are all peak powerhouses.”

“With the long lifespans and formidable powers, Heavenly Divines fear almost no natural dangers and have the capability to explore various civilizations, in pursuit of the ultimate mysteries between heaven and earth.” Qiu Bingzun smiled at Li Yuan, “If you were in their shoes, having lived for over a thousand years, would you be willing to die of old age within a Dimensional Plane, or would you prefer to head towards the splendid and boundless Divine Realm?”

Li Yuan held his breath again.

Indeed! For many divines who have lived for over a thousand years, what pleasures have they not experienced?

To seek eternal life, to obtain more powerful treasures and cultivation methods, it is unlikely anyone would choose to stay in their native civilization.

“Elder Qiu.”

“Then why did you come from the Divine Realm to our Dimensional Domain? As far as I know, it seems that more than one divine descended a ten thousand years ago,” Li Yuan couldn’t help but say, “Is there something in our Dimensional Domain worth competing for, a priceless treasure perhaps?”

Through communicating with Qiu Bingzun.

Li Yuan had basically confirmed that the Ancient Torch Divine likely also came from the Divine Realm.

“You seem to know a lot, and you’re not wrong in your guess,” Qiu Bingzun spoke slowly, “Normally, Mortal Domains are very poor in resources and treasures, but your Dimensional Domain is an exception.”

“Ten thousand years ago.”

“I led my many divines, at great cost, with this Divine Class Mothership, to descend painfully into this Dimensional Domain… I wasn’t the only one, many divines from the Divine Realm descended at that time.”

“And many native divines of your Dimensional Domain also joined the battle.”

“It was a earth-shattering skirmish.”

“All for the treasure within the ‘Burial Immortal Ancient Domain’.”
