High-Level Martial Era

“Bloodline, is it a chain?” a hint of confusion flashed in Green Snake’s eyes.

She had inherited memories and information left by Qiu Bingzun, coupled with her past twenty thousand years of vague memories… but after all, she had just been born, many pieces of knowledge had not yet fully transformed into cognition.

“You look at your elder brother,” Qiu Bingzun said with a smile, “He is a rare talent among the billions of Human Race beings. He reached Second Rank Limit by the age of twenty with ease… but he certainly also experienced many difficulties.”

“For example, for your birth, he endured three months of Divine Sense tearing pain. If it were you, could you endure it?”

Green Snake couldn’t help shaking her head.

She knew of Li Yuan’s sacrifices and was even more aware of the tormenting pain… She asked herself and doubted she could persevere.

“The soul can grow easily; some treasures can make it grow quickly.”

“But the growth of the heart and mind can only rely on time, relying on events to polish it one by one,” Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. “Your soul has also reached Flying Heaven Peak… but your willpower is only at Second Rank Limit.” Your next chapter is on My Virtual Library Empire

“Your elder brother? His willpower is probably almost near the Semi-Divine level,” Qiu Bingzun said with emotion. “This is incredible.”

Green Snake listened attentively.

“Think about it, he is only 20 years old now and has grown from weak to strong.”

“If a Human Race powerhouse, without the enhancement of a bloodline, goes through ten thousand years of trials and tribulations and cultivates to the True God Peak, how strong is his mental and willpower?” Qiu Bingzun said. “If you just rely on your bloodline and idly become True God Peak, can you compare with those powerhouses?”

“No comparison,” Green Snake shook her head.

“Those born in lowly circumstances who can grow up are one in a million,” Qiu Bingzun reflected. “But those who manage to grow up are often the most terrifying.”

“Like those at the pinnacle within the Divine Realm, many have grown step by step from the Unranked.”

“And like you, Little Ice, if you just drift along without effort, your cultivation will become weaker as you proceed,” Qiu Bingzun looked at Green Snake. “Because your strength has come too easily, too effortlessly.”

“So, once the power of your bloodline is exhausted and you need to rely completely on yourself… it will be difficult,” Qiu Bingzun said gravely.

Green Snake nodded, “Elder Qiu, what should I do?”

“Strive!”

“Bloodline gives you a starting point that surpasses countless lives, so you should strive even harder,” Qiu Bingzun said earnestly. “You were born with Seven Star Veins; hence, you should strive to attack Eight Star Veins during the Flying Heaven phase.”

“Inside the Heavenly Snake Hall.”

“I have prepared many training grounds for you, some of which are even life-threatening… If you can persevere, I believe you will surpass most of the Holy Blood Heavenly Serpents,” Qiu Bingzun said. “It is just unknown whether you can achieve it.”

“I can!”

“And I want to rebuild the Heavenly Serpent Clan with my elder brother,” Green Snake said softly, her spirited eyes shining. “I also seek revenge…” to avenge the deceased clansmen.”

The more than twenty thousand years of vague memories made Green Snake roughly aware of past events.

She also understood the responsibilities she carried.

“Good,” Qiu Bingzun nodded with satisfaction. “Then for now, go and cultivate the Star Technique. Once you have cultivated three Star Techniques to the Second Rank Limit, I will start your special training.”

“Train movement technique.”

“Comprehend the True Meaning of Wind.”

“Temper willpower.”

“Engage in actual combat.”

“None of these are dispensable,” Qiu Bingzun was well aware that in the upcoming brutal training, Liu Bing would likely face moments of being tortured to breakdown, after all, she was just a newly born little one…

But as long as she kept persevering, just persevere!

Looking back after hundreds of years, Liu Bing would likely have undergone a startling transformation.

…

Even with the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid.

But Li Yuan’s research on the soul was ultimately superficial.

Therefore, it took him almost half a month before he finally began to grasp the “Soul Nine Refinements” ‘Semi-Divine Chapter’.

In the blink of an eye, time had come to the beginning of March 2046.

Inside that quiet chamber of the mothership.

“Cultivating this secret technique is much more troublesome than cultivating a Star Technique,” Li Yuan shook his head inwardly: “I have only just achieved minor success.”

Li Yuan estimated that if a Semi-Divine Peak expert were to practice it, with an almost divine soul and the assistance of Divine Soul Liquid, they could probably fully master the ‘Semi-Divine Chapter’ in one go.

“However, just to enslave some Flying Heaven level beings, the ‘Soul Nine Refinements’ that’s just getting started is sufficient,” Li Yuan sensed his mental consciousness.

Compared to the past, it had become much more agile, and its power concentration was also much stronger… Practicing the “Soul Nine Refinements” also significantly boosted his soul attack and soul defense from before.

“The growth of spiritual power is an unexpected joy,” Li Yuan sensed the unprecedented strength of his spiritual power, as his gaze also swept over the Divine Palace panel… spiritual power at level 38.8.

It is known that before using the Divine Soul Liquid, Li Yuan’s Divine Sense had been weakened after three months of depletion, becoming very feeble… But in just this short half a month, not only had Li Yuan’s past injuries fully recovered, but he had also progressed further.

“I previously thought that even with the ‘Observing the Great Sun Starry Sky Scripture,’ during the Prime Warrior phase, it would probably only grow to around level 39, and it would be extremely difficult to transform into the Semi-Divine level,” Li Yuan mused inwardly. “Now it seems that in another year or two, I should be able to reach 39.9 level.”

“Perhaps.”

“I could try to strike for Semi-Divine level spiritual power during the Prime Warrior phase,” Li Yuan’s eyes held a glimmer of light.

Semi-Divine level spiritual power would accelerate Li Yuan’s comprehension of the mysteries of the heaven and earth.

At the same time, it would also further raise the maximum limit of his Spiritual Awakening; perhaps he could advance to 70% or even 75%.

“The growth of the mental body, the comprehension of True Intent, will make my awakening of the Star Meridian even faster.”

“At the same time, there is hope to initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times,” Li Yuan pondered inwardly. “If I can initiate Spiritual Incorporation three times, there is a great chance that I will awaken to the Eight Star Veins during the Prime Warrior stage.”

Purely relying on myself? Li Yuan was fairly confident in breaking through to the Seven Star Veins as a Prime Warrior, but the Eight Star Veins were difficult—probably not until reaching the Flying Heaven Level or even the Semi-Divine Level would there be hope.

In the past, Li Yuan had simply set his goal on ‘Eight Star Veins.’

However, after encountering Qiu Bingzun and understanding the vast expanse of heaven and earth, the significance of the Eight Star Veins became clearer, and Li Yuan’s yearning grew even stronger.

“Perhaps I should first achieve the Seven Star Veins, and then at the Flying Heaven or Semi-Divine Levels, I could further awaken the Eight Star Veins,” Li Yuan pondered inwardly. “The earlier the breakthrough, the better.”

If the Eight Star Veins could be achieved early on,

then at the Flying Heaven and Semi-Divine Levels, every single Star Vein could be strengthened.

The Eight Star Veins, among the countless powerful beings of the Divine Realm, were already considered an unparalleled genius.

What kind of genius would one be with Eight Star Veins, plus four or even five Perfect Star Veins?

“Let’s go!”

“It’s time to act.” With a thought, Li Yuan used his authority to directly open the Quiet Chamber.

Swoosh!

He transformed into a streak of light, soaring along the metallic corridors, heading straight for the testing grounds where Xue Yan was.

“It’s not far, I can arrive in six minutes,” Li Yuan knew precisely where Xue Yan was.

…

Inside an enormous secret chamber within the mothership’s inner layer,

“This damn trial is really difficult!” The Black Garment Youth ‘Xue Yan’ stared at the distant massive stone wall which was covered in a multitude of Secret Runes that came together to form various patterns.

In front of Xue Yan, similar Mark patterns were being condensed with Origin Power.

“With my True Intent at the High Rank, condensing this divine seal is still so tough. What could possibly be hidden in the core of this inner layer to make it so difficult?” Xue Yan frowned.

After more than five months in the mothership, he was quite anxious inside.

But anxiety was pointless.

He could either give up or continue striving.

“Focus and strive.”

“The core of this inner layer may very well contain treasures left behind by a True God,” Xue Yan pondered inwardly. “In the history of the Myriad Demons Civilization, we only managed to birth a single True God, yet the foundation left by these gods allowed for the continuous emergence of Pseudo-Gods in our civilization, making it one of the strong civilizations within the Dimensional Domain… A treasure left by a True God is unimaginable.”

As an Inner Sect Disciple of a Divine, even at Second Rank, his vision was extraordinarily high.

“Boom!” The massive door to the secret chamber suddenly opened.

“Huh?”

Xue Yan was puzzled and turned to look, only to see a figure clad in black battle suit standing behind the door, with an indistinct face.

Only a pair of eyes stared coldly at him.

“Second Rank? How can there be such a strong aura?” Xue Yan was shocked and stood up on guard, eyeing Li Yuan.

Although Li Yuan’s body had reached level 30, his Sea of Origin Power did not possess an Origin Pill… This pill, when condensed, would create a special force field and aura around the body, which are the signs of a Third Rank Life.

“Who are you?” Xue Yan asked warily, not daring to make any rash moves.

The incident happened too abruptly; just moments ago, he was receiving an inheritance. According to the Alien God Envoy, he should not be disturbed before the time was up… Xue Yan was completely bewildered.

Boom!

Li Yuan made his move directly; in the instant he acted, his body transformed into a height of five meters.

He directly deployed his Body Refining Star Technique! Bursting out with full power!

“Not good.” Xue Yan’s face turned pale, realizing that the visitor meant harm. With incredibly fast reflexes, he immediately erupted into action.

Boom!

Li Yuan couldn’t be bothered to use his Black Chen Spear. He struck Xue Yan directly and then harshly slapped out a palm so fast that even Xue Yan—a ‘Divine Child Level genius’—could not dodge in time and had to instinctively swing his Combat Saber in defense.

“Bang~”

The palm struck the Combat Saber, and the terrifying force swept through it… The Combat Saber was flung away, and Xue Yan himself was smacked flying.

“Bang!!” Xue Yan crashed against the nearby metal wall hard, spewing a mouthful of fresh blood with force.

With one palm, Xue Yan was severely injured.

A flicker of terror flashed across his eyes as he stared at the cold and Godlike figure standing not far away.

“Who… who on earth are you?” Xue Yan asked, his voice low and teeth gritted.

He felt that the other party was not intent on killing him; otherwise, he would have already been dead following that first palm strike.

Suddenly,

Xue Yan seemed to realize something and almost lost his voice, “Are you the Spirit Gun from the Seven Star Civilization? Have you already gained the treasure of the Heavenly Serpent Divine?”

In the brief moment, this was the only possibility Xue Yan could think of.

“No need for many questions.”

“I only ask you one thing,” Li Yuan’s voice was ice cold. “Are you willing to submit to me?”

“If you don’t submit, then die!”
