Chapter 1150: Chapter 547: Li Yuan Returns! Ten-Star Meridian?

Outside Source Fire Star, within that majestic palace that ordinary members of Source Fire Star cannot perceive.

Five Heavenly Divines were all meditating quietly.

They were nominally the administrators of Source Fire Star, but in reality, most matters were handled by Source Fire God, and there was little that truly required their decision… As Heavenly Divines, they also longed to ascend to God King, so naturally, they would focus on cultivation.

Suddenly.

The Lingwei Heavenly Divine, clad in black combat armor with two large dragon horns on his head, abruptly opened his eyes, a trace of surprise flashing in them: “How is this possible?”

“What happened?”

“What’s the matter?” The other four Heavenly Divines couldn’t help but open their eyes and look at the Lingwei Heavenly Divine.

“I just received a message from Source Fire God.” Lingwei Heavenly Divine’s voice was low, speaking word by word: “Li Yuan, has returned!”

“What?”

“Li Yuan? He returned from the Emperor Origin Realm?”

“Returned alive?”

“I thought he had perished.”

“He spent 33 years in the Emperor Origin Realm and actually returned alive?” The four Heavenly Divines were all astonished.

The 33 years on Source Fire Star is equivalent to experiencing 330 years in the Emperor Origin Realm; such a duration is trivial to the Divine.

However, for a demigod who had only lived a little over a hundred years previously, it’s immensely long.

Although most Source Fire Star members, or the numerous Heavenly Divines of Chaos Divine Court, were unaware of Li Yuan entering the Emperor Origin Realm… But the five Heavenly Divine administrators had mostly believed Li Yuan had perished in the Emperor Origin Realm.

According to past experiences, surviving 20 years in the Emperor Origin Realm was already difficult.

For someone like Li Yuan to return alive after 33 years, it hadn’t happened in hundreds of thousands of years.

“What extraordinary talent Li Yuan possesses.”

“Being in the Emperor Origin Realm for so long, he must have had significant achievements.”

“Let’s go welcome him.”

“Last time, I received orders to keep an eye on Li Yuan’s movements.”

“Indeed, Li Yuan was already the top-tier Nine-Star Veins Semi-Divine before. Now, having cultivated for over three hundred years, who knows how much he has grown, and he may quickly ascend to godhood.” The Heavenly Divines swiftly made a decision to go together to welcome him.

…

The Lingwei Heavenly Divine dared not delay for a moment, delivering the news immediately to Dong Mang God King.

The other four Heavenly Divines, though they dared not reveal the relationship between Li Yuan and Dong Mang God King, or Fire Illusion God King, merely reported ’Li Yuan’s return after 33 years in the Emperor Origin Realm’ to their direct Divine Monarch, as was their duty.

…

In the Heart Dream Divine Realm, within the grand palace of ’Dong Mang God King’.

The palace was empty.

Suddenly, rumbling sounds, and the palace shook, countless light and shadows converged, forming an enormous figure that exuded an infinite terrifying aura.

Immediately after.

Sizz~ Countless flames manifested out of thin air, condensing into the voluptuous figure of a woman, seeming as if she might explode. She was surrounded by flames, her aura was extremely intense, making the surrounding space feel as though the temperature was rising.

“Fire Illusion, restrain your aura, or I might have to expel you.” Dong Mang God King’s voice was deep.

“Hehe, this is the might conferred upon me by the Heart Dream Divine Realm, if you have the ability, let Senior Meng take it back.” The fire-wreathed woman smiled: “Let’s talk about the main issue.”

“That little fellow, Li Yuan, has returned alive.” Fire Illusion God King’s eyes gleamed: “33 years! To have survived this long in the Emperor Origin Realm, it’s unknown what he experienced.”

“If it weren’t for Senior Meng previously mentioning that Li Yuan wasn’t dead, I would have assumed he perished.” Fire Illusion God King sighed.

She, although never having been in contact with Li Yuan.

But since Li Yuan arrived at the Divine Court Headquarters, Fire Illusion God King had been watching him secretly.

“He’s had great achievements.”

“My junior apprentice has already achieved Ten-Star Veins.” Dong Mang God King smiled.

“What? Achieved Ten-Star Veins?” Fire Illusion God King was also shocked: “Really?”

“Of course it’s true, the master has already sent a message to me.” Dong Mang God King sighed: “Although I had some premonitions before, actually receiving the news still felt somewhat surreal.”

“Message from Jue Xing Divine Emperor?” Fire Illusion God King believed it.

She understood well.

Although the Chaos Divine Court has three Divine Emperors, the life and death of Chaos God Emperor are uncertain, and he hasn’t appeared in an age… Heart Dream God Emperor is more mysterious, alive but rarely appearing or acting directly.

Only Jue Xing Divine Emperor has consistently shown presence throughout countless years in the Divine Realm’s many contentions.

In terrifying battles like those between Chaos Divine Court, Wandao Divine Court, Abyss Divine Court, and Heavenly Dragon Divine Court.

The one truly holding the line was Jue Xing Divine Emperor!

“Ten-Star Veins!”

“I believe soon enough, another fearsome Heavenly Divine, perhaps even a God King Overlord, will emerge from our Chaos Divine Court.” Dong Mang God King smiled: “It’s possible my junior apprentice might become more terrifying than the ’Flame Blood God King’ in the future.”

Fire Illusion God King couldn’t help but nod.

Ten-Star Veins, so rare to manifest.

Across the entire Divine Realm, adding up the God Kings from various current forces, they are numerous… but how many Ten-Star Veins God Kings are there? Only one in the current era.

And that is Flame Blood God King.

As a Ten-Star God King, Flame Blood God King, with his formidable Divine Body, is recognized in the Divine Realm as the current First God King.

Also acknowledged as the most likely to become Divine Emperor.

“I should be able to see my junior apprentice ascend to God King before entering slumber in Jue Xing Space-Time.” Dong Mang God King glanced at Fire Illusion: “Fire Illusion, you are still young. If you intend to build a connection with my junior apprentice, you’d better start early.”

“After all, he is also a chosen one of Heart Dream Divine Emperor.”

Although Senior Meng never disclosed the secret of the ’Mind Spirit Divine Palace candidate’, how high is the God Kings’ vision?

They could deduce many secrets from numerous clues.

“My affairs, you need not concern yourself with.” Fire Illusion God King said coolly.

…

In a short period, many God Kings among the Chaos Divine Court’s upper echelon received news about Li Yuan.

After all, since the last disciple controversy, with Li Yuan’s identity as a disciple of Chaos God Emperor exposed, he received exceptional attention, and many God Kings had already assumed he would have a promising future as a God King.

Once he becomes a God King, with Li Yuan’s status, he is destined to become the future ruler of the Jue Xing Emperor Palace, his position will be vastly different.

Certainly.

Some God Kings were purely concerned about Li Yuan, such as — Heart Realm God King.

“Returned alive?”

“To have stayed in the Emperor Origin Realm for 33 years is indeed rare.” The Heart Realm God King received this news and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

…

The Northern Hill Mortal Domain, where the Seven Star Civilization is located, is now in unprecedented chaos.

In the mysterious depths of the ’Burial Immortal Ancient Domain’, within the Ancient Domain.

A massive mountain range hangs in the dark starry sky, as if cut into two by a giant combat saber, with its cross-section potentially spanning billions of miles… Countless space rifts appear and disappear at times.

A young girl in green, her arm severed, bleeding profusely, and under the surge of divine power, the arm was growing back continuously.

She sat cross-legged in a valley, quietly regulating her breath.

“Damn ’True God Pigeon Hawk’, the target is indeed me!”

“Ancient Origin God Monarch, it truly seems you want to completely eradicate me.”

“Fortunately, my escape speed is impressive, and with the life-saving item from the Ancestor, otherwise, I might have perished this time.” Liu Bing’s eyes were cold, filled with killing intent: “I wonder where Senior Dongfang fled to, even through the Heart Dream Divine Realm I can’t contact him, hopefully nothing unexpected happened…”

Liu Bing was pondering.

Suddenly.

“Hmm? It’s my elder brother’s soul aura!” Liu Bing, who was regulating her breath to heal her injuries, suddenly opened her eyes wide.

Her soul is now at the Heavenly God level, how powerful is her perception ability?

Even when separated by different dimensional space-times.

Liu Bing could immediately sense, amidst the distant and boundless space-time, that familiar aura… It was her long-lost elder brother’s soul aura.

But!

Separated by such an immense distance, even with Liu Bing’s strength, she could barely sense Li Yuan’s soul aura… but could not communicate via soul transmission.

“Elder brother returned alive from the Emperor Origin Realm?”

“Haha!”

“Elder brother returned alive!!” Liu Bing was immensely excited, at this moment she seemed as if she was going crazy, even forgetting her own fatal injuries.

Before, she was extremely worried.

After all, Liu Bing also came from the Emperor Origin Realm, once a Purple Garment Semi-Divine, and very aware of the Emperor Origin Realm’s unique and terrifying nature.

To stay for more than thirty years without returning?

And unable to sense the soul aura.

All signs indicated that Li Yuan was most likely already deceased.

Even Liu Bing, despite her connections with Divine Monarchs, could find no trace of Li Yuan’s information.

In her heart, she was constantly tormented.

Despite apprenticing under a Heavenly God, in Liu Bing’s heart, the closest ones to her were Qiu Bingzun and Li Yuan, with the former always guiding and accompanying her… and the latter even more so, leading her into existence, then wandering together, cultivating in the Seven Star Civilization, adventuring on the Jue Xing Continent, and entering the Divine Realm…

Now, Qiu Bingzun has completely passed away.

The one closest to her heart, she only had her elder brother left.

Even though she has become the renowned ’True God Tian Bing’, in Liu Bing’s heart, she remains that little Green Snake under her elder brother’s protection.

“Heart Dream Divine Realm.”

“In the Heart Dream Divine Realm, I will surely be able to contact my elder brother.” Liu Bing, excited, instantly entered the Heart Dream Divine Realm, attempting to contact Li Yuan.

When Liu Bing entered the Heart Dream Divine Realm, Li Yuan was already in the Emperor Origin Realm… thus they were not ’friends’.

One must first apply for friendship to chat and communicate.

…

Outside the Source Fire Star, Li Yuan flew out from the massive vortex at the entrance of the Emperor Origin Realm.

As soon as he flew out, he saw five Heavenly Gods flying towards him.

“Li Yuan, congratulations.” The Sacred Might Heavenly God smiled.

“After enduring 33 years and completing the Emperor Origin Realm task, it’s truly commendable.” The other four Heavenly Gods were also extremely courteous.

On the surface, Li Yuan appeared calm, but inside he was shocked, such a grand reception? Could my affairs have been leaked?

It shouldn’t be!

“Li Yuan, to have endured so many years in the Emperor Origin Realm before returning has not been seen for a long time, at least during our tenure as overseers of the Source Fire Star, it hasn’t happened before.” The Sacred Might Heavenly God smiled: “We have reported your situation to the Divine King.”

Li Yuan was somewhat enlightened, it made sense.

If not for wanting to cultivate the “Cosmic Divine Body”, merely wanting to complete the Emperor Origin Realm task wouldn’t have taken so long.

“Li Yuan Semi-Divine, we can feel it, your divine body aura might rival an extremely powerful Pseudo-God.” Another Heavenly God in a purple robe couldn’t help but ask, “Have you become a Ten-Star Meridian?”

No matter how Li Yuan tried to suppress his aura, after all, as a Semi-Divine facing Heavenly Gods… it was still impossible to perfectly suppress it.

And to be an overseer of the Source Fire Star, naturally wouldn’t be a newly ascended Heavenly God.

“Ten-Star Meridian?” The Sacred Might Heavenly God and the others couldn’t help but look at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile: “My dear Heavenly God friends, I think I should first return to Source Fire Star.”

The many Heavenly Gods exchanged glances, each having a flash of astonishment in their hearts.

Not denying it means admitting it?

But a Ten-Star Meridian Semi-Divine? The Chaos Divine Court hasn’t had one for who knows how many eras.

“Alright then, return.” The Sacred Might Heavenly God reacted.

Quickly.

The five Heavenly Gods sent Li Yuan into the Transmission Array, watching him teleport back to the Source Fire Star.

“This Li Yuan, has he really become a Ten-Star Meridian?” A Heavenly God couldn’t help but ask.

“I don’t know.” The Sacred Might Heavenly God said solemnly: “If he’s truly a Ten-Star Meridian Semi-Divine, he’s likely to ascend to God soon, and once ascended… he will quickly become a figure of influence in the Divine Realm.”

“In any case, keep it confidential.” The Sacred Might Heavenly God said earnestly: “Do not leak a word.”

“Understood.”

…

Regarding the Sacred Might Heavenly God and their speculations, Li Yuan didn’t think much, the perfect Ten-Star Meridian couldn’t be exposed.

But Ten-Star Meridian… as the Jue Xing Emperor’s master said, it would soon be revealed, so there’s no need to fear exposure.

And the Source Fire Star overseers, are trustworthy.

Whew!

Li Yuan returned to the long-lost Source Fire Star, thinking to himself: “Once I’ve cultivated all eight perfect star techniques to the ultimate fifth rank, I can light the Divine Fire.”

Suddenly.

“Hmm? Someone is looking for me in the Heart Dream Divine Realm?” Li Yuan just split a thought to enter the Heart Dream Divine Realm.
