High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 772

Chapter 772: Chapter 408 Jiang Yuan True God
 

Whether it was the black-robed elder known as ‘Elder Wu’ or the figure in black armor, both had exceptionally high standards and clearly understood what it meant for a move to cause spatial ripples.

This signified that such a technique could penetrate the superficial layer of heaven and earth and touch upon the true fluctuations of space.

It undoubtedly belonged to the realm of Pseudo-God level techniques.

“This technique primarily incorporates the Mysteries of Space, with the Law of Earth and the Wind Law as auxiliary elements; it is quite exquisite.”

“My junior, merely at the Flying Heaven Level, is able to touch upon the Mysteries of Space; his talent is indeed unimaginable,” the figure in black armor whispered, “Elder Wu, are you sure what the master left behind was the Mirror of Laws and not the True River of Laws?”

“How could I possibly deceive you?”

“The True River of Laws represents the opportunity to comprehend the complete Law of the Great Dao. Even someone as powerful as our master only left behind three portions, of which you received one,” said the black-robed elder.

“The treasure vault of Registered Disciples.”

“To have left behind a Mirror of Laws is already quite remarkable; how could there possibly be a True River of Laws left behind?” the black-robed elder added.

The figure in black armor nodded slightly.

The Heavenly Gods, if slain by enemies, would naturally not transform into the True River of Laws or the Mirror of Laws… but even if they meticulously prepared before their seated meditation, something like the Mirror of Laws would be left in no more than several dozen portions.

Such numbers are still extremely scarce.

Given its effectiveness, it naturally shouldn’t be this good; the only explanation is… the user has an exceedingly high talent.

“Starry Vein Talent is extraordinary.”

“The Law Talent is also extremely strong, and the soul is infinitely close to the Pseudo-God level…” The figure in black armor mused, “Where did this come from? I’ve never heard of him.”

He, as the master of a Divine Kingdom and a high-level entity of the Starry Sky Ancient City, had extremely broad knowledge and was even more informed.

By rights!

Talents like this at the Flying Heaven Level should have been discovered long ago; in any Divine Kingdom, they would be counted as top-tier geniuses.

“How did he appear in the Abyss Demon Blood Den?” The figure in black armor frowned, with myriad thoughts flashing through his mind.

But he remained expressionless, simply continuing to observe.

…

In this Starry Sky world, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, quietly contemplating the mysteries of Anchi Heavenly God’s palm-strike technique.

It was truly shocking.

The sensation was too clear.

Merely through repeated attempts, Li Yuan felt his comprehension of the Mysteries of Space continuously breaking through.

It came naturally to him to perform the fourth style of ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’: ‘Shattering the Long Sky.’

This style, in terms of profundity, was already comparable to that of an Initial Rank Pseudo-God.

Such a breakthrough in realm was enough to abruptly elevate Li Yuan’s strength by a great margin.

“The application of the Space Law – vast and unpredictable. Anchi Heavenly God’s palm-strike must belong to the category of ‘Space Cutting’, which is the ultimate destruction,” Li Yuan excited himself.

Whether it was contemplating the Law of Earth or the Wind Law, he had many references and could receive some guidance.

Only when contemplating the Mysteries of Space did he find great difficulty, as Li Yuan had been groping alone in the dark.

After all, even someone like Qiu Bingzun, in their understanding of the Space Law, was only at the level of the ‘True Intention of Space’ and hadn’t truly entered the Threshold of the Law… One can imagine the hardship of the Space Dao.

“The Space Law!”

“Just like the Seven Fundamental Laws, it also divides into many directions, such as Space Cutting, World, No Space Domain, etc.,” Li Yuan sighed in solitude, “Each direction has its own focus, like Space Cutting, if cultivated to the extreme, legend has it that one move can cross billions of miles in space-time to slay the enemy, where everything touched can be killed.”

“The World direction can make one’s Domain as vast as an entire world descending, encompassing everything.”

“The direction of the No Space Domain can penetrate everything, stepping into higher dimensions; it is much more formidable than some of the Escaping Techniques of the Wind System, and when cultivated to advanced levels, it can even allow one to teleport, crossing vast Star Domains in a thought—this is also why the Heavenly Gods can construct Transmission Arrays.”

“The direction of Space Objects…”

…Li Yuan knew such general information in the past, but knowing it was of little use without being able to comprehend it specifically.

Until today.

Using the Mirror of Laws, Li Yuan had opened the doors to a brand new world, witnessing the fearsome nature of the Space Law and further clarifying his path.

“Space Cutting.”

“Now that I have the guidance of Anchi Heavenly God’s Mirror of Laws, I will make my utmost effort to comprehend in the direction of Space Cutting,” Li Yuan vowed from the heart, intending to learn the most powerful if he was to learn at all.

Time passed.

The profound effects of the Mirror of Laws were gradually fading, and the abundant Spiritual Light in Li Yuan’s mind was also dispersing.

“The most precious first use is gone.”

“Subsequent comprehension will probably not even be one-tenth as efficient as this time,” Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

The Mirror of Laws was integrated into the soul, and its first use had the best effect, with each later use having a diminishing return.

“According to the information Sister Gu You gave,”

“With the passage of time, the power contained within the Mirror of Laws will ultimately completely dissipate, and each session of my contemplation will also deplete some of its power,” Li Yuan pondered.

Therefore, after using the Mirror of Laws, it would be best to re-contemplate after some time.

“It is an external object, aiding in cultivation, but it cannot replace my own comprehension,” Li Yuan was well aware of this: “My first use had such a significant effect because of the many years I spent in Concealed Cultivation, studying the Mysteries of Space, deducing the ‘Boundary Cloud Spear’, and accumulating a plethora of doubts.”

It was like teachers lecturing.

Only if students earnestly prepared in advance and had many questions could they maximize the efficacy of the teacher’s lecture.

With this thought.

Li Yuan’s mind moved, and he sensed an option on the Divine Palace panel:

[Skill Realm: Law of Earth (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Wind Law (Seventh Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Space (Seventh Stage 62%), True Meaning of Fire (Sixth Stage Initial Rank), Mysteries of Water (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Wood (Fifth Stage 99%), Mysteries of Metal (Fifth Stage 88%), Mysteries of Thunder (Fifth Stage 12%)]

“The progress in the Mysteries of Space is indeed great, now equivalent to the standard of Seventh Stage High Rank,” Li Yuan mused, “Now, my rate of progress in the Space aspect truly far exceeds that of the Earth and Wind aspects.”

Li Yuan himself had not anticipated that it would be so easy for him to comprehend the Mysteries of Space.

“The lineage of Fire, I have actually, unbeknownst to myself, condensed the True Intent.” Li Yuan nodded slightly.

Anchi Heavenly God, who had a complete mastery of the Fire Law, naturally left behind a Mirror of Laws that contained a great deal of insight into the Fire Law.

Even though Li Yuan was not particularly adept at the path of Fire, during his understanding of it, he could be affected unconsciously.

One path leads to the creation of thousands.

Super experts, in addition to the paths that they have comprehended, would generally have some understanding of other Laws.

“Phew!” Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes and stood up to look at the cloaked elder not far away.

“Hm?”

Li Yuan was shocked to find that, unbeknownst to when, a figure clad in black armor was standing next to the cloaked elder, with an overbearing aura that faintly enveloped this part of the Starry Sky.

“I actually didn’t notice him at all just now.” Li Yuan was surprised, “When I don’t look at him, I can’t feel his presence, but as soon as I look at him, I feel that his aura is terrifying… What kind of technique is this?”

With just one look, Li Yuan understood.

This figure in black armor was definitely the strongest he had ever met in his life, far surpassing even the Dongfang Alliance Leader.

“True God.”

“Li Yuan, this is a True God, and a very powerful one at that,” Sister Gu You’s voice suddenly rang out: “He appeared just now, I just didn’t disturb you because I saw that he seemed to have no ill intentions and you were in Concealed Cultivation.”

Li Yuan suddenly realized.

Swoosh!

Li Yuan stepped forward and quickly came in front of the cloaked elder, giving a respectful bow, “Thank you, elder.”

“There’s no need to thank me. As the Named Disciple of the master, it’s only right that you receive some treasures,” the cloaked elder said with a smile: “Do you remember when I said before that there were some secrets I didn’t tell you?”

“Now that you have become the master’s Named Disciple, you have the right to know.”

“This person in front of you, is the master’s Direct Disciple, and also the eldest disciple of your lineage,” the cloaked elder introduced: “Jiang Yuan True God.”

Li Yuan was secretly astonished, as expected.

“Xu Yuan, pays respects to Senior Brother,” Li Yuan bowed.

Suddenly, a thought struck Li Yuan, “Wait, Jiang Yuan True God? Also surnamed Jiang?”

Is it a coincidence?

“Elder Wu sent a message to me, saying that a formidable junior brother has emerged from the Abyss Demon Blood Den.” Jiang Yuan True God revealed a hint of a smile: “So I specially hurried over from the Royal Capital.”

“At first glance, I’ve found that, indeed, there’s something extraordinary about you that made Elder Wu give praise.”

“Flying Heaven Level, with control over Pseudo-God Level moves, quite rare indeed!” Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile: “Junior Brother Xu Yuan, you are outstanding. Among the countless Flying Heaven Level experts of the Jue Xing Continent, the Three Great Starry Sky Ancient Cities, the Six Great Holy Lands, the three thousand Divine Kingdoms, you are probably among the very top ranks.”

“Senior Brother is overpraising,” Li Yuan responded.

“I am not overpraising,” Jiang Yuan True God laughed: “If you only had control over Pseudo-God Level moves, indeed, you wouldn’t be considered top rank.”

“But to awaken Eight Star Veins at the realm of Flying Heaven, plus a soul almost at the Pseudo-God Level, and considering your age, which isn’t even forty years old,” Jiang Yuan True God said: “Even if I claim you have the highest talent among the Flying Heaven Level on the Jue Xing Continent, you would still be worthy of it.”

Li Yuan’s expression was calm, but inside his heart, a storm was brewing.

This!!

This Jiang Yuan True God, having only just met him, had seen through him so thoroughly.

“Eight Star Veins?”

“Xu Yuan, you kiddo are an Eight Star Vein?” Elder Wu was astonished at the side: “I thought you were just a Seven Star Vein, so you’re actually an Eight Star Vein? Third Rank Eight Star Vein, this!!”

“Doesn’t that mean, before ascending to godhood, there’s a hope to strive for Nine Star Pulse?” Elder Wu’s eyes shone with light.

The difference between Seven Star Veins and Eight Star Veins seems to be just one vein, but in reality, it’s a world apart.

The former is quite common on the Jue Xing Continent.

For instance, within the Abyss Country, there are Demigods with Seven Star Veins, and there are far too many across the Jue Xing Continent.

But as we go up to Eight Star Vein experts, the numbers dwindle drastically.

Nine Star Pulse? It’s a legend of the Jue Xing Continent!!

“Tch tch, you sure hid yourself deep enough, almost fooling this old man,” Elder Wu laughed: “Sadly, you still couldn’t escape your Senior Brother Jiang Yuan’s eyes. Among the many true gods in the Jue Xing Continent, he is one of the top three existences, an absolute True God Limit Expert.”

True God Limit?

Li Yuan’s heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but take another look at Jiang Yuan True God.

According to Li Yuan’s knowledge, when Qiu Bingzun was alive, he was at the level of True God Limit and thus had the qualifications to be called a ‘Zun’ among the Heavenly Serpent Clan.

“Anchi Heavenly God’s Direct Disciple is at the True God Limit?” Li Yuan thought to himself: “That’s right! To be chosen by a Heavenly God, one’s talent must certainly be extremely high, and it’s not surprising to have True God Limit strength after more than ten thousand years.”

With this thought.

“Elder Wu, Senior Brother, I had no intention of hiding it,” Li Yuan continued, feeling somewhat anxious in his heart.

Although the other was nominally his ‘Senior Brother,’ this was also only their first meeting.

Anything could happen.

It could be said that his life was in the hands of this Jiang Yuan True God.

“There’s no need to be nervous.”

“Since I call you ‘Junior Brother,’ it means I acknowledge you,” Jiang Yuan True God said with a smile.

Then, he looked towards the cloaked elder, “Elder Wu, then I will take Junior Brother Xu Yuan with me for now, I will inform you if there’s anything.”

“Alright, that works too,” the cloaked elder agreed: “Jiang Yuan, you need to treat Xu Yuan well.”

“Of course.”

“If Junior Brother Xu Yuan can grow up, in the future, he will be a great help for me, and perhaps it will be a fine story for both of us brothers to Ascend to Heavenly God,” Jiang Yuan True God said: “Naturally, I will cultivate him with care.”

“Junior Brother, let’s go.”
