HIGH-LEVEL MARTIAL ERA

Chapter 745: Chapter 395: Farewell

Dongfang Ji had left, and apart from Li Yuan, Fang Hai, and Lant Semi-Divine, no one else was temporarily in the know.

Although the recent great battle had severely injured the Myriad Demons Civilization and chilled the courage of various civilizations, it was almost impossible for the Seven Star Civilization to encounter another invasion soon, but it was always better to be cautious.

And though the Soul Lamp of Dongfang Ji had extinguished, the location of the Soul Lamp was controlled only by Fang Hai and Lant Semi-Divine.

Moreover, with Ye An Semi-Divine in good condition, once other Semi-Divines within the civilization saw him, they would know Dongfang Ji was alive, and it would be unlikely for them to become suspicious in the near future.

Returning from outer space beyond Feixing.

“Leaving tomorrow?” Lant Semi-Divine, upon hearing Li Yuan’s account, couldn’t help but be stunned, “So soon? Aren’t you going to cultivate within the civilization for a while longer?”

…

“In the Flying Heaven Realm, I’ve already stayed long enough, and continuing my cultivation wouldn’t lead to any qualitative changes in my strength, and the cultivation speed would only slow down, even to the point of reaching a bottleneck,” said Li Yuan. “In the Nine Leaves World, perhaps there are the things I’m seeking.”

This was Li Yuan’s honest opinion.

His goal was the Third Rank Nine-Star Pulse, which had extremely high requirements in many respects, such as Law Comprehension and Soul Will… even though Li Yuan possessed the Mind Spirit Divine Palace.

But to have the Spiritual Awakening reach its maximum limit of 100%, the Soul Realm must first break through to the 50th level of the Pseudo-God Level, or even higher.

The transformation of Soul Will, in addition to the growth through the Visualization Method, external trials, and spiritual growth, was also extremely important.

As for external objects?

The Seven Star Civilization was too small; the treasures needed for Li Yuan to cultivate the Nine Layer Star Technique “Myriad Shadows Void” were simply unattainable… Moreover, being nearly invincible within the civilization, he faced almost no pressure.

If he left the Plane to venture into the Starry Sky Space Rift… it would be better to go directly to the Nine Leaves World.

“Go ahead and venture forth,” Fang Hai said with a smile. “The Nine Leaves World holds many dangers, and knowing your temperament, not daring to venture there would actually be odd.”

Fang Hai had watched Li Yuan grow up all along the way.

World within Worlds treasure fight, battle in the Ming Xu Star Realm, sweeping the Second Level Star Realm, desperately awakening the Second Rank Eight Star Veins, crisis in Lantie Star, and the recently concluded invasion by Wan Mo… Fang Hai knew well that Li Yuan was passionate and loyal.

However, within his bones, Li Yuan also tirelessly pursued the limits of cultivation.

Otherwise, he would not have desperately struggled to attain a Semi-divine Level Soul, and then worked hard to awaken the Eight Star Veins.

The Nine Leaves World contained vast opportunities.

“Nine Leaves Nine Mountains.”

“It contains great crises, as well as crisis for our Seven Star Civilization,” Fang Hai said. “Teacher, you’re in such a hurry to leave, it’s actually related to the little truth about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain you’ve come to understand.”

Fang Hai had talked with Dongfang Ji alone and had a deeper understanding of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain than others.

“The truth?” Lant Semi-Divine was startled.

“There’s a saying you used to say,” Fang Hai continued, “Becoming a Pseudo-God, or even a True God… can stabilize our Seven Star Civilization, but cannot permanently resolve the crisis of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.”

Li Yuan nodded, this dig deep was a reason he had always pursued the limits of Star Veins.

Had he not known about the existence of Nine Star Veins and Ten-Star Veins, that’d be another story.

But knowing them, he would exert his utmost effort.

“Teacher, it’s the same understanding,”

“He left enough contingencies and fallbacks for the civilization to ensure it won’t fall,” Fang Hai said. “If he stayed in the Mortal Domain, becoming a True God in the future would be easy… but the hope of becoming a Heavenly Divine would be far slimmer.”

Both Li Yuan and Lant Semi-Divine nodded.

Heavenly Divine?

In the entire Mortal Domain, across ten thousand dimensional planes, most hadn’t even seen a True God born, not to mention a Heavenly Divine.

“Li Yuan, the things you want to do, Teacher also wants to do,” Fang Hai looked at Li Yuan with a smile, “Teacher also yearns to become a Heavenly Divine, and then one day come back to try and completely resolve the civilization’s hidden threats.”

“Secondly,”

“The rise and fall of civilizations, to our knowledge, the oldest civilization recorded in the entire Mortal Domain doesn’t exceed ten million years…” Fang Hai said, “Older civilizations were either destroyed by other civilizations or encountered natural disasters.”

“In this world, there is no civilization that lasts forever.”

“Like now, the Myriad Demons Civilization fears us, and the Immortal Ruins Civilization hopes to keep peace with us, not because we have strong individuals emerging constantly, it’s merely because of Teacher, you, and me,” Fang Hai said. “Especially Teacher and you, who have talents strong enough to make any True God take notice.”

“Headmaster, you are no lesser,” Li Yuan quickly replied.

“I am well aware of myself, not as good as Teacher, and not as good as you,” Fang Hai said thoughtfully. “But even if it’s us, we can’t live forever.”

“A True God, too, only lives for thirty thousand years.”

“Our Seven Star Civilization, with only seven Life Planets, is extremely fortunate to have given birth to Teacher and you in such a short time,” Fang Hai said. “We must strive even harder for future generations to produce more who can become Half-Gods, Pseudo-Gods, and ‘ordinary geniuses’.”

“If our Seven Star Civilization could have thousands of Demigods and several Pseudo-Gods, even without top powerhouses like Teacher… we would still have no fear of invasions.”

Li Yuan understood Fang Hai’s meaning.

Similar words had also been said by Dongfang Ji.

No one could live forever, a civilization’s strength could depend on one person for a short time, but not forever.

Heavenly Divine could only live three hundred thousand years, the Immortal Ruins Civilization stood in the Mortal Domain for a million years, relying on the emergence of generation after generation of powerhouses.

The emergence of powerhouses required fertile ground as well as a significant population base.

“Becoming a True God could trigger a dimensional evolution, making the number of Life Planets within the dimension skyrocket.”

“If becoming a Heavenly Divine, within tens of thousands of years, it would be possible to trigger multiple evolutionary events for our dimension, making our dimension’s number of Life Planets surpass that of the Immortal Ruins Civilization,” Fang Hai said. “By then, the entire civilization would have a solid foundation to give birth to True Gods generation after generation.”

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

In the Mortal Domain, if a civilization continuously had a Pseudo-God in residence, hardly anyone would invade, and if a True God was always present… that would be an absolute dominance.

“Dongfang Alliance Leader has already gone ahead.”

“I can’t fall behind, Headmaster, I will definitely strive,” Li Yuan said with a smile.

When he was a Prime Warrior, Li Yuan already had this realization.

The sky had its support from tall people, and within the Seven Star Civilization, he was that tall person.

The strength and continuity of a civilization, to completely resolve the ‘Burial Immortal Ancient Domain crisis’, who would step up if he did not?

Dongfang Alliance Leader was indeed powerful, but ordinary people still had to walk on two legs.

How could one only depend on a single person?

If so, it would render the efforts of Alliance Leader Dongfang meaningless.

“Li Yuan, with your strength, passing through the Nine Leaves World’s trials is a piece of cake, but the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain contains many great secrets, which even I, your teacher, cannot completely perceive,” Fang Hai said. “In any case, you must be very careful.”

“Mhmm.” Li Yuan nodded earnestly.

Only by living does one have endless possibilities.

Whoosh!

Fang Hai flipped his palm, and a Glazed Antique Lamp emitting firelight appeared in his hand. “Li Yuan, this is the Soul Lamp. Condense your Divine Sense onto the wick.”

“You’re going to the Nine Leaves World, and we need to be aware of whether you are alive or dead.”

“Okay.” Li Yuan had refined a Soul Lamp once before and finished the task swiftly with practiced ease.

…

Seeing off Li Yuan…

Lant Semi-Divine remarked contemplatively, “He truly is spirited and bold. Observing Li Yuan sometimes reminds me of the young Dongfang, bravely pressing forward, full of energy and fighting spirit.”

“Lant, you aren’t old,” Fang Hai joked.

“Compared to you all, I am,” Lant Semi-Divine remarked. “But with Dongfang gone and Li Yuan likely not staying much longer, it’ll be tough on you to remain here.”

Lant Semi-Divine had already guessed Dongfang Ji’s arrangements.

“Both the teacher and Li Yuan are risking their lives by venturing forth, the path to ascend to Heavenly Divine is not easy,” Fang Hai said, shaking his head. “I, staying within our civilization, am actually in no danger.”

Lant Semi-Divine said no more.

Which mighty individual would pass up on the opportunity to venture into the Divine Realm, or witness a broader universe?

…

In Feixing, a city.

“Master,” Sang Qiu Demigod said respectfully.

Having flown from Lantie Star, she had just returned across the starry sky to Feixing.

“Mhmm.” Li Yuan looked at her and said, “From now on, you will stay permanently in Feixing, following the orders of the Alliance Leader. Unless there is an emergency, you shall not leave Feixing. Understood?”

“Yes,” Sang Qiu Demigod replied.

Soul Control has many drawbacks, the biggest being that servants regain their freedom once their master perishes.

Hence, Soul-controlled servants were often used as undercover agents within rival factions, minimizing any loss even in the case of their master’s demise.

This is also why those controlled Alien Race guest elders and semi-divines are all placed on Feixing… As the core of the Seven Star Civilization, it boasts the most formidable military force capable of suppression at any moment.

“Legend has it,” Li Yuan thought to himself, “in the Divine Realm among Heavenly Divines, some formidable entities who fully comprehend the Law of the Great Dao can create a perfect method of Soul Control.”

When cast, deeply ingrained in the servant’s soul, it ensures they share life and death with their master.

Master dies, so does the servant.

That is absolute control.

Unfortunately, even among Heavenly Divines, very few accomplish this since not every Heavenly Divine excels in the mysteries of the soul.

Thus, according to what Li Yuan knew, followers were more prevalent in the Divine Realm… Mighty beings bound by a vow to pursue even greater ones, having some restrictions but still more acceptable than mere servants.

…

Upon returning to Blue Star, Li Yuan’s family, having already gathered from various parts of Xia Country at Kunlun Martial University, received the news.

“To undergo Concealed Cultivation? Five years, or even ten?” The crowd couldn’t help but discuss upon hearing Li Yuan’s words.

The Nine Leaves Nine Mountains was a secret, not to be disclosed.

Thus, Li Yuan did not reveal the true reason to his family, merely mentioning that he was about to seclude himself for a long time.

According to the experiences left by Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai, the first venture into the Nine Leaves World usually took a year or two.

During which there would be absolutely no contact with the outside world.

Li Yuan estimated for himself that, even with his strength far surpassing that of the previous Alliance Leader and the headmaster, ten years ought to suffice.

“Is it going to be so long?” Chen Hui couldn’t help but ask, “Can’t you return in the middle?”

“Big brother, can’t even communicate?” Li Qianqian also said, “The great battle on Feixing just ended! After such a victorious battle, is it necessary for Dongfang Ji to exert himself so much?”

As Li Yuan’s family, they had channels of information inaccessible to most Flying Heaven Warriors.

About the great battle that had taken place on Feixing, Chen Hui naturally knew quite a bit.

“Aunt, I must go,” Li Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

But seeing Dongfang Ji’s determination to move forward and Fang Hai’s decision to stay, Li Yuan had no hesitations left.

“What kind of talk is that?” Li Changzhou said gravely, “Li Yuan is now among the top echelons of our civilization. How can he consider only our small family? It’s only ten years.”

“Li Yuan.”

“Go without worries. You’ve left so many treasures, so many Flying Heaven puppets, and we can contact several demigods at any time… With me here, there’s nothing to worry about,” Li Changzhou reassured Li Yuan: “Your strength is immense and I can’t help with your cultivation.”

“But I know one thing,” he continued, “as a leader of our civilization, you should perform the duties of a leader. Once you’ve chosen to take responsibility, you cannot retreat.”

Li Yuan nodded.

With his uncle present, Li Yuan indeed never worried about his home; Li Changzhou rarely troubled Li Yuan.

Like many relatives and friends from earlier years, though not without the desire to approach Li Yuan… All were stopped by Li Changzhou.

…Li Yuan then visited Bai Shan Demigod in Xia Country Capital, and they talked for a long time.

After arranging everything,

On June 19, 2055, of the Seven Stars Calendar, Blue Star Leader Li Yuan left Blue Star again.

When he would return, might be in a year or two, or perhaps even longer.
