Chapter 776: Chapter 410 Divine Fire Palace_3
 

Li Yuan understood.

In the Mortal Domain, Pseudo-Gods were rare, and he realized some of his knowledge indeed needed revision.

Sigh!

Suddenly, a purple-robed elder flew over from not far away.

“King,” the purple-robed elder respectfully greeted.

“Xu Yuan, this is the Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, ‘Sha Xi Pseudo-God,'” stated Jiang Yuan True God.

“I have seen Senior Sha Xi.” Li Yuan respectfully saluted.

“Hello.” Sha Xi Pseudo-God smiled and nodded. He was still unsure of Li Yuan’s status and did not dare to address him rashly.

“Sha Xi,” Jiang Yuan True God continued, “Xu Yuan is a good friend entrusted to me. Let him join the Divine Fire Palace and, three months later, give him a slot to go to the Flying Heaven Realm of the Jue Xing Ancient City.”

“A slot to the Ancient City?” Sha Xi Pseudo-God’s eyes flickered with surprise. “King, the slots have already been allocated.”

Jiang Yuan True God frowned, “I said, give Xu Yuan a slot.”

“Yes, I will take care of it immediately,” responded Sha Xi Pseudo-God promptly.

“Additionally, do not reveal my relationship with Xu Yuan to anyone who asks. Treat Xu Yuan as you would any regular member of the Flying Heaven,” instructed Jiang Yuan True God.

“Your subordinate understands,” replied Sha Xi Pseudo-God, realizing the King greatly valued this young man.

“Xu Yuan, you follow Sha Xi Pseudo-God,” Jiang Yuan True God ordered.

Immediately.

Sigh!

With a step, Jiang Yuan True God disappeared into the thick clouds, at the end of which a towering palace was faintly visible.

That was the Abyss Country Palace, Jiang Yuan True God’s residence, a place common Pseudo-Gods were not qualified to approach.

…

“Xu Yuan, come with me,” Sha Xi Pseudo-God said with a smile, realizing this young man’s identity might not be ordinary.

What kind of existence is the King?

He is second only to the Heavenly Divine on the entire continent… Entrusted by a good friend? What kind of friend would make the King take such an interest?

But with Jiang Yuan True God’s order, he dared not to inquire further.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two shuttled through the void and clouds.

“Xu Yuan, ordinary Demigods cannot travel through the clouds of the Royal Capital; they must fly along the roads,” Sha Xi Pseudo-God explained, “Only Divine beings or core members of my Abyss Country can shuttle freely through restricted areas.”

“The Divine Fire Palace is part of the core layer.”

“In my Abyss Country, one power is the Royal Family and another is Myriad Gods Palace, Divine Fire Palace,” explained Sha Xi Pseudo-God.

Li Yuan listened.

He already knew these details. The Royal Family was the foundation of the Abyss Country, all descendants of Jiang Yuan True God’s bloodline, but the number of Divine beings was actually not large, with just over a dozen Pseudo-Gods.

And the Myriad Gods Palace consisted of Minister Gods who joined the Abyss Country, among which the True Gods numbered a few, and Pseudo-Gods were over a thousand… showing the terrifying strength of Jiang Yuan True God.

Ordinary True Gods would not have so many Pseudo-Gods following them.

This did not even include the forces Jiang Yuan True God could mobilize in the Jue Xing Ancient City.

The Divine Fire Palace represented the Flying Heaven Level and Demigod Level geniuses of the country… implying that anyone who joined should aim to Light Divine Fire.

Shortly after.

The two reached a very vast palace; even the entrance was guarded by two Demigods leading many Flying Heaven Level protectors.

“Palace Master.” Many guards saluted.

“This is the new member of my Divine Fire Palace, ‘Xu Yuan’,” Sha Xi Pseudo-God indicated Li Yuan and notably stated, “He will be directly ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List. Is everyone clear?”

“Directly ranked tenth on the Flying Heaven List?” the group of guards was secretly shocked.

“Greetings, Young Master Xu Yuan.” The guards bowed one after another, including the two Demigod Commanders.

Li Yuan nodded in acknowledgment.

Traveling through the Divine Fire Palace, Sha Xi Pseudo-God introduced Li Yuan to various places which aid Cultivation, teaching areas… Clearly, as a place for cultivating the country’s talents, the environment of the Divine Fire Palace was excellent.

“Xu Yuan.”

“From now until you depart for the Jue Xing Ancient City, reside in this mansion,” said Sha Xi Pseudo-God, “If you need anything, come find me.”

“Moreover, each member of the Divine Fire Palace, when first ranked in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List or Demigod List, will receive a gift.”

“This gift, I will have someone deliver it to you shortly,” Sha Xi Pseudo-God said.

“Thank you, Senior,” voiced Li Yuan, turning into a stream of light and entering the rather luxurious mansion.

Inside the mansion, there were many servants, including two at the Flying Heaven Level, and the rest as Prime Warriors.

“Greetings, Master.” The servants saluted one after another, having just received a message.

“Proceed as usual in the mansion, do not bother me,” stated Li Yuan, “Unless it’s something important, do not disturb me.”

“Yes,” the multitude of servants saluted.

These servants, arranged by the Divine Fire Palace, could be commanded, punished, or even killed by him.

Of course, if a servant was killed, a Divine Crystal penalty had to be paid.

“I am but a passerby in this Divine Fire Palace,” Li Yuan mused internally, and quickly proceeded to the depths of the mansion to the ‘Quiet Chamber.’

Speedily.

Li Yuan had initially refined the core of the mansion in the Quiet Chamber, directly activating the whole mansion’s ‘Origin Power Protection Array.’

Li Yuan had discovered.

The technological artifacts of Jue Xing Continent were quite standard, but the application of Origin Power Secret Patterns was far superior to that of the Seven Star Civilization; in the Capital of Yuan Country, the presence of Origin Power Arrays could almost be felt everywhere.

“This Quiet Chamber, they really put effort into it,” meditated Li Yuan, sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform inside, feeling his heart quickly calming down.

The entire Quiet Chamber closed.

“Continue cultivating,” Li Yuan closed his eyes, continuing to ponder the fourth technique of the “Boundary Cloud Spear” he just realized.

…Outside Li Yuan’s mansion.

“I just ordered those guards to salute,” thought Sha Xi Pseudo-God, “Soon, Lord Illusion will probably receive the message.”

He, as the venerated Palace Master of the Divine Fire Palace, wouldn’t perform irrelevant acts.

“His only son being deprived of a slot, this matter won’t be easy to gloss over,” felt Sha Xi Pseudo-God with some helplessness.

The Jue Xing Ancient City recruits a batch of Reserve Members only once every twenty years.

And in the Abyss Country, there were in total only twenty slots, ten of which were Flying Heaven Level and ten were Demigod Level.

Thus, the opportunities were precious, and many of Abyss Country’s influential figures kept an eye on the slots.

While on the surface it looked like capacity mattered most, behind the scenes, background connections were also very important.

For his son to secure a slot, Lord Illusion had spent a considerable price.

“If the King directly issued an order, it would be fine, Lord Illusion would have nothing to say,” Sha Xi Pseudo-God mused internally, “Regrettably, the King did not allow the news to spread.”

“And the King directly placed him on the list instead of going through a trial… probably, this Xu Yuan’s strength is mediocre,” Sha Xi Pseudo-God speculated, “Hopefully, he can withstand it.”
