“Remember,”
“When undergoing Fire Refining Nirvana, use the Visualization Method,” a gentle voice arose, “Doing so will accelerate the growth of your soul.”
“Mhm.”
…
Within the World within Worlds, outside the massive, continuous ruins of the Divine Palace, a large number of First Rank Martial Artists and Prime Warriors stood guard, numbering in the hundreds.
They were vigilant in every direction.
The ones in charge of leading them were Si Feng, Kross, and Bai Ya.
“How long has Li Yuan been inside?”
“Almost twenty days now,” Si Feng and Kross chatted. For talents like them, the simple task of standing guard was extremely boring.
“Li Yuan isn’t even from the Fire System lineage; according to the information provided by the Blazing Flame Family, he’s been in there for so long…” Si Feng couldn’t help but say.
“Don’t be a jinx,” Kross said in a low voice, “I believe in Li Yuan. He can definitely make it out alive.”
Kross was extremely grateful to Li Yuan, who had once saved his life.
He didn’t want to believe that someone as strong and talented as Li Yuan would die in the ruins of the Divine Palace.
After all, so many from the Blazing Flame Family had made it out alive before.
“Don’t blame Si Feng,” Bai Ya sighed lightly, “It’s just logical reasoning to assume that the longer it takes, the less likely Li Yuan is to survive…”
Suddenly.
“There’s someone!”
“Someone is coming out of the Divine Palace ruins!” Excited shouts came from not far away.
Si Feng, Kross, and Bai Ya were immediately startled, and they looked up towards the door of the distant ruins.
Whoosh!
A figure clad in earthy yellow robes was striding out of the palace at great speed.
“It’s Li Yuan!” Kross recognized him at a glance, almost jumping up in excitement.
“Li Yuan?” Si Feng was equally shocked, and even more delighted, “Haha, awesome! He’s come back alive!!”
“Alive?”
“He survived seventeen days?” Bai Ya also showed a smile, yet she found it somewhat unbelievable.
After all, according to previous records from the Blazing Flame Family, if one was not from the Fire System lineage, most would have come out alive within a few days.
So many days had passed.
In fact, not just them, but many people outside also felt that Li Yuan was very likely dead within the ruins of the Divine Palace.
But now, after so long, Li Yuan had come out alive?
Whoosh!
Li Yuan was very fast, and in just tens of seconds, he arrived at the ‘base camp’ of the Seven Star Civilization’s stationed troops.
“Li Yuan.”
“Li Yuan,” Kross, Bai Ya, and others went up to greet him, their voices tinged with a hint of excitement.
“Long time no see,” Li Yuan said with a smile upon seeing this group of old friends.
…
The return of Li Yuan made the group of stationed Martial Artists extremely excited, and they immediately transmitted the news to other warriors in the World within Worlds.
It was also sent to the War Fortress in the Star Realm.
…
Deep beneath that large ore vein, inside a mysterious stone chamber, it was rather dim.
Rustle rustle
Alicia’s body was emanating strands of blue light, swirling and faintly inducing the forces of heaven and earth.
She suddenly opened her eyes.
“Hm?” Alicia felt the vibration in her smart ring and looked down at it, her eyes flashing with surprise, “Li Yuan has returned alive?”
“That freak came out alive?”
“Quick!”
“Go see him fast,” the voice of Little Star instantly resounded in her mind, “Being trapped in the Divine Palace ruins for so many days, he must have gained something quite special. Hurry up and ask, see if we can get any useful information… maybe we can also take a chance.”
“Don’t waste the opportunity.”
“Shut up,” Alicia frowned, and immediately, she tapped the light screen, first sending Li Yuan a message.
“Are you okay? Not hurt, right?”
…
The news of Li Yuan coming out alive, in a very short time, made Lude Nef, Wu Manong, Yu Jinghe, and others aware.
This was followed by.
Wu Manong and others, also passed the news to the alliance’s senior officials at the first opportunity.
…
Above Kunlun Martial University in Xia Country, Fang Hai received the news in the quiet chamber of his own flyer.
“Li Yuan has come out alive?”
“Good that he’s alive.”
“I wonder, being trapped so long inside, if he has gained any special discoveries.”
…Fang Hai, Bai Shan Semi-Divine, and other senior officials of the alliance, after receiving the news and having their concerns eased, also grew curious.
Li Yuan is clearly from the Earth System lineage, so why did he stay so long in the core of a Fire System Divine’s ruins?
Did he have any special acquisitions?
…
Time passed.
In the encampment outside the ruins of the Divine Palace in the World within Worlds.
Li Yuan looked at the multitude of messages sent from the outside world through his smart ring: some were comforting, some were congratulatory…most were from his elders.
Of course, besides these messages, there were many more that were curious and inquiring.
“It seems there are quite a few people curious about my experiences,” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Without much hesitation, he quickly turned the ‘draft’ he had prepared in his mind into a detailed experience report and uploaded it directly to the War Base.
The content was intricate and detailed, but the gist of it was—he had received inheritance from a demigod, obtained two star techniques, a visualization method, and a semi-divine long spear.
That was all!
As for whether the alliance’s upper echelons would believe it?
Believe it or not, Li Yuan didn’t care too much.
The reason he revealed the star techniques and the semi-divine long spear was that he would soon be using these items, and sooner or later he couldn’t keep them secret.
So it was better not to hide them.
At the same time.
Through communications with Wu Manong and Yu Jinghe from the outside world, Li Yuan also learned of the many situations that had occurred in the outside world during the past half a month he spent in the Divine Palace ruins.
The fighting was fierce.
“So many Flying Heaven Warriors have died?”
“Even Abbott is dead?” Li Yuan sighed to himself.
People like Tavares and Wu Manong, Li Yuan had never heard of before coming to Feixing.
But Abbott? He had heard of him; he was a genius Prime Warrior with a great reputation in the alliance.
The rumors always said he would definitely become a strong Flying Heaven Warrior in the future.
Unexpectedly, he had died in the Fierce Feather Star Realm.
“Li Yuan, we have already reported your account to the high-level officials of the alliance,” Wu Manong transmitted a message: “In the coming time, the Gu Yue Divine Palace might still instigate a new war, so we hope you can continue to stay on for some time, and always be ready for war.”
Continue to stay on?
Li Yuan had no objections.
“Even if I go back to Blue Star, I would just be training in school,” Li Yuan thought to himself: “It’s the same anywhere.”
For Li Yuan now, he had the Map of Myriad Stars with him at all times to study and comprehend.
Training anywhere, there was not much difference.
“Coming up.”
“Besides the usual training in Origin Power, visualization method, and spear practice,” Li Yuan thought: “Another important thing is to continue making efforts to awaken the Life Star.”
“Strive to elevate the second Star Meridian from the Fourth Layer awakening to the Fifth Layer Life Level as soon as possible.”
“That way, I can cultivate the Fifth Layer Star Technique ‘Stellar Mysterious Body’.”
Such a Fifth Layer Star Technique, if cultivated to a certain extent, would significantly boost Li Yuan’s strength.
And it would lay a good foundation for Li Yuan’s future cultivation of the Seventh Layer Star Technique ‘Great Earth Divine Body’.”
…
Li Yuan’s report did not cause much of a stir.
The higher-ups might not fully believe what Li Yuan said… but for now, Li Yuan was still in the World within Worlds.
Even if some Star Masters and demigods in the alliance’s upper echelons had opinions and thoughts, they could only hold back for the time being.
It was not possible to come and inquire about Li Yuan right now.
As time passed, there was no outbreak of a major war between the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom and the Seven Star Civilization, as if the Gu Yue Divine Kingdom had completely given up.
Until the sixth day after Li Yuan’s return.
The sun hung high in the sky.
In a temporarily erected tent in the encampment outside the Divine Palace ruins, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, silently cultivating “All Heavens’ Stars” and fervently absorbing Origin Power from the outside world.
Continuously driving his Life Level evolution.
At the same time, he also split his thoughts, continuously attempting to awaken his Life Star.
Suddenly.
“Buzz~” Li Yuan’s body vibrated violently, emitting wisps of earthy yellow light.
“Haha, very good.”
“To think that the second Star Meridian has actually reached the Fifth Layer Star Veins level,” Li Yuan was pleasantly surprised in his heart.
Just a few days!
Luck was on his side.
“Carry on,” Li Yuan calmed his heart and did not rush to cultivate the star technique but continued to try to awaken the Life Star.
More than an hour later.
Suddenly.
“Hm?” Li Yuan suddenly felt a vibration from his smart ring and looked down, his pupils immediately constricting.
“Warning!!”
“War warning!”
“A full-scale invasion, at 136 exits, First Rank warriors from Gu Yue Divine Kingdom have simultaneously emerged, requesting assistance!!”
“Requesting support!!”
