High-Level Martial Era - Chapter 779

Chapter 779: Chapter 411: Divine Elixir and Mind Spirit Divine Palace_3
 

Within a very short period of time, news that “A new member of the Flying Heaven Realm has joined the Divine Fire Palace and directly ranked in the top ten of the Flying Heaven List” spread rapidly within the Divine Fire Palace.

A new member of the palace shouldn’t have caused much of a stir,

after all, there are nearly a thousand official members in the Divine Fire Palace.

Among them, about two hundred are at the Flying Heaven Level, and over seven hundred are at the Semi-Divine Level… but making it directly to the top ten of the Flying Heaven List, the meaning is entirely different.

Especially when about to head to ‘Jue Xing Ancient City’, it draws even more attention.

Purple Garment Marquis Mansion covers tens of kilometers.

As a god from a different surname who was granted the title of marquis, it is quite rare and shows the strength of the Purple Garment Marquis in the Royal Capital by the sheer size of his estate.

Among the thousands of Pseudo-Gods in Abyss Country, he is considered top-notch.

Inside a palace within the marquis’ estate.

“Damn it!”

“My spot has been taken?” The previously quite refined ‘Leng Yan’ suddenly changed his expression: “The rankings were settled a month ago, how can they be changed?”

“I am not sure either, it was the Semi-Divine Guard ‘Xue Mou’ from the Divine Fire Palace who sent the message, and I reported to the Princely Heir immediately,” said the purple-garment woman hastily, bowing her head.

He also secretly worried.

Who could have imagined, with the spot already finalized, someone suddenly interrupted; this is very rare in the history of Abyss Country.

If the Princely Heir becomes angry, that would be truly unjust.

In the marquis’ mansion, there are often servants killed by the Princely Heir… many of whom are tortured to death.

“Who is it?” Leng Yan’s eyes were cold, a hint of malevolence flashing through.

His temperament is naturally brutal.

His cultivation talent is quite extraordinary, and he is the only son of the Phantom Body Marquis in over two thousand years, extremely pampered.

It can be said,

among the Flying Heaven Level in Yuan Country Capital, there are those with higher talent, but almost none with a stronger background… there are also children of gods among the Flying Heaven Level in the capital, but very few are only children.

“Only know the name Xu Yuan, not sure about the background,” said the purple-garment woman hastily.

“Xu Yuan? I haven’t heard of any powerful Xu family princes or marquises in the capital,” Leng Yan frowned, many thoughts flashing through his mind.

He is arrogant, but not foolish.

There are Xu-named Pseudo-Gods in the capital, but none have the status or power like his background… they couldn’t possibly replace his spot directly.

“What’s the background?” Leng Yan thought to himself: “It seems I need to see my father.”

Whoosh!

Leng Yan flew out of the palace directly towards the deeper area of the marquis’ mansion.

Along the way, numerous Flying Heaven Guards and even some Semi-Divine Guest Elders respectfully saluted.

As a Peak Pseudo-God, the Phantom Body Marquis has under his command over three hundred Semi-Gods, among which there is a large number of Semi-Divine Peaks.

Quickly.

Leng Yan arrived at a palace in the deeper parts of the marquis’ mansion, empty and seemingly filled with a chill even in the air.

Sigh!

Leng Yan didn’t use the main door, but faced and walked towards the column in front, just in the moment of impending collision, his entire person passed through, disappearing on the square.

“Mother’s cultivation dwelling.”

“All true can be illusion, all illusion can also be reality, Illusion Technique has already reached the pinnacle, this is where the title ‘Phantom Body Marquis’ comes from,” Leng Yan thought to himself.

He worships his mother immensely.

Entering the grand hall, the interior decoration was quite elegant, just like a mountain and water villa.

“Mother,” Leng Yan called out loudly.

“Yan’er, why come to me so suddenly? What’s the matter?” a gentle voice sounded, followed by ripples in the void, a palace-dressed woman appeared in Leng Yan’s vision, her eyes full of doting.

“I didn’t want to disturb mother’s cultivation,” Leng Yan said respectfully, he was very well-behaved in front of his mother: “But I’ve just received a message, from the Divine Fire Palace…”

Leng Yan quickly explained the situation without any exaggeration, merely describing the facts.

He knew not to influence his mother’s judgment.

“What?”

“Xu Yuan? He took your spot? Can’t someone else’s spot be replaced?” the Phantom Body Marquis’s face changed, a flicker of anger in her eyes: “What a Sha Xi, such a big matter, and he didn’t even tell me!”

Leng Yan felt helpless inside, replacing someone else’s spot?

Although it’s possible to manipulate the rankings in the top ten of both the Flying Heaven List and the Semi-Divine List privately… but all these actions are done secretly, it couldn’t be falsified publicly.

His real strength was just barely making it to the top twenty among the Flying Heaven Level in the Divine Fire Palace… managing to get to tenth was already the limit.

Continue upward?

The higher the ranking, the more likely errors would occur, especially since Jue Xing Ancient City would conduct another assessment later. If he was ranked fourth or fifth now… it would be very easy to expose faults when reaching Jue Xing Ancient City.

Even if it was just for a spot in Jue Xing Ancient City, there wasn’t much difference between the tenth and the first of the Flying Heaven List.

But who could have expected a Li Yuan to suddenly appear?

“Yan’er, wait here.”

Without any hesitation, the Phantom Body Marquis, enraged, immediately contacted Sha Xi Pseudo-God for clarification.

As time trickled by.

After a full two minutes.

“Yan’er.”

Purple Garment Marquis looked down at Leng Yan, solemnly saying, “I’ve made inquiries clearly. The replacement of the nominee was not Sha Xi Pseudo-God’s idea. It must have come from a higher authority and pressure.”

“A higher authority?” Leng Yan was shocked. “Mother, could it be the King?”

“It shouldn’t be.”

“If it were a direct order from the King, a command would have been sufficient to inform me,” said Purple Garment Marquis, shaking her head. “Perhaps it’s one of the True Gods, or maybe a Pseudo-God who has spent a great deal of effort to secure a spot for their descendants.”

Leng Yan couldn’t help but nod.

Within the Divine Kingdom, aside from the King, there exist several True Gods with high status… it’s also possible for those at the Pseudo-God Peak if they are willing to pay a huge price.

“Mother, what should I do?” Leng Yan couldn’t hold back.

“Hmph!”

“That Xu Yuan definitely has a background, but we must still contend,” Purple Garment Marquis looked at her son and said, “I can’t intervene directly, but I will help you by finding the King. I also need a reason to do so.”

“A reason?” Leng Yan was startled.

Immediately.

Purple Garment Marquis revealed her plan, continuing, “Yan’er, this is an open strategy. As long as you succeed, I will have a sufficient reason.”

“Besides.”

“This is also a test for you, I can’t protect you forever,” Purple Garment Marquis spoke gravely. “Even if you go to Jue Xing Ancient City, whether you can Ascend to God in the future depends on yourself.”

“Alright.” Leng Yan clenched his teeth and said, “I will try my best.”

He was also clear about the pros and cons.

In Yuan Country, with his mother’s protection, it’s not difficult for him to become a Semi-Divine… but in Jue Xing Ancient City, let alone Pseudo-Gods, even True Gods are numerous; his background counts for little.

“Mother, I’m going now,” said Leng Yan as he swiftly left.

Inside the palace, only Purple Garment Marquis was left.

“Xu Yuan’s background, unspeakable?”

“Nevertheless, never think of assassinating Xu Yuan?” Purple Garment Marquis’s eyes shifted as Sha Xi Pseudo-God’s warning echoed in her mind again.

As Divine beings.

When facing threats, their first thought is often to simply kill… a dead man no longer poses a threat.

Yet, against Xu Yuan, this tactic doesn’t work.

“This Xu Yuan’s background, it must be one of the True Gods,” Purple Marquis’s eyes were cold. “But how does it matter if it’s a True God? I am directly subordinate to the King as Prince… as long as I follow the rules, even True Gods can do nothing against me.”

Due to the practice of a special Secret Technique, it was extremely difficult for her to have children.

Over two thousand years old!

All she had is this son, Leng Yan; she wouldn’t mind offending True Gods for his cultivation opportunities.

…

In the Divine Fire Palace, inside Li Yuan’s residence.

In the Quiet Chamber.

He had refined and consumed all ten Jue Xing Divine Pills in one go.

“Ten Jue Xing Divine Pills, and they prompted nearly three thousand Life Stars to awaken in one go?” Sitting cross-legged on the Jade Platform, Li Yuan marveled internally: “The effect is truly astonishing.”

Although it was far from the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.

As Li Yuan’s vision grew, he also realized how miraculous the Mind Spirit Divine Palace is… even Heavenly Divines probably do not possess such an extraordinary item.

What about the Jue Xing Divine Pill then? It continuously emerges, allowing countless cultivators to use it.

“However!”

“Each additional Jue Xing Divine Pill I consume, the Soul Shock becomes stronger, and the increase is not small,” Li Yuan thought secretly. “Just ten pills, and I already felt the pressure from the Soul Shock.”

Based on the increase in Soul Shock, Li Yuan felt that if he used about fifty or sixty Jue Xing Divine Pills, he would probably reach his limit.

“No wonder only ten Jue Xing Divine Pills were bestowed.”

“At the Flying Heaven Level, even the so-called top ten on the Flying Heaven List, most probably haven’t awakened a Semi-Divine Level Soul… using the Jue Xing Divine Pill likely won’t reach ten pills,” Li Yuan mumbled to himself.

Li Yuan also realized that for top geniuses in Jue Xing Continent, to extensively use Jue Xing Divine Pills to assist in awakening Star Meridians… they probably must wait to reach the Semi-Divine Level.

“But I’m different.”

“I must find a way.”

“First, to obtain more Jue Xing Divine Pills,” Li Yuan’s eyes shone with increasing desire, “Second, to strive for a Soul Metamorphosis, reaching the Pseudo-God Level.”

“Then, not only could the upper limit of Spiritual Awakening reach 100%, but I could also use more Jue Xing Divine Pills.”

“Thus, my chances of becoming a Nine Star Pulse.”

“And possibly even a Ten-Star Meridian in the future as a Semi-Divine, will be greatly enhanced.” Li Yuan truly realized the opportunities in Jue Xing Continent.

Sigh!

Li Yuan was not in a hurry; having just arrived at the Divine Fire Palace, Jiang Yuan True God probably hadn’t even properly forged his identity yet; there was no need to be too conspicuous.
