High-Level Martial Era

"Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled, "Has there been some great war?"

"I've sent you the related intelligence reports," Dongfang Ji said. "Take a look at them first."

The next second.

Buzz~

Li Yuan's smart ring trembled, and he glanced down to see a file message from an unfamiliar account that contained text and images.

Is this Senior Dongfang Ji's account? Li Yuan wondered.

"Add me as a friend and agree to receive the file," Dongfang Ji seemed to see Li Yuan's hesitation. "You can finish reading it here, and then I'll explain."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

He quickly opened the light screen and began examining the details of the file, which contained very detailed intelligence about the Mingxu Star Realm and images of the great war... Many of these details were definitely classified, and even other demi-gods might not be privy to them.

But clearly, Dongfang Ji now considered Li Yuan absolutely central, and since the upcoming war would involve him, it was natural to inform him about the secrets.

"Ming Mountain actually contains such secrets? I was previously wondering why Ming Mountain was so majestic; it simply didn't look like a normal mountain." Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "Big Brother Yu is really impressive."

Li Yuan quickly finished reading.

"When the Mingxu Star Realm first appeared, I had my suspicions," Dongfang Ji spoke slowly. "I think the Tianliang Civilization and even the Myriad Demons Civilization behind them must have guessed as well since it is, after all, a divine-level civilization. But at that time, it was only a First Level Star Realm... Even if we wanted to take control of it, it was beyond our reach."

Li Yuan couldn't help nodding; judging from the information, the strength of an ordinary Flying Heaven Warrior was far from enough to explore the secrets within Ming Mountain.

"Alliance Hierarch."

"Big Brother Yu alone slaughtered six of the Tianliang Civilization's so-called 'Eighteen Saint Heirs,'" Li Yuan couldn't help saying. "I probably don't need to rush over there."

The video information in the file was simple: it showed the scenes of Yu Jinghe leading Wu Manong and others battling against many top geniuses and Flying Heaven Warriors of the Tianliang Civilization.

The battlefield had extended for hundreds of kilometers!

In the end, Yu Jinghe unleashed his divine might and brutally slaughtered the Saint Heirs of the Tianliang Civilization.

The 'Second Rank Saint Heirs' of the Tianliang Civilization, who are at the level of True Intent Prime Warriors, are already comparable to the top geniuses of the Seven Star Mountain.

Yet these nine Saint Heirs from the Tianliang Civilization teamed up and were utterly defeated by Yu Jinghe alone.

Li Yuan reckoned that Yu Jinghe's strength was already no less than Lude Nef's, and perhaps even stronger.

"The Tianliang Clan really can't trouble Yu Jinghe anymore," Dongfang Ji nodded. "But there are two difficulties."

"First is the local Flying Heaven forces in Ming Mountain; there are many Flying Heaven mid-stage powerhouses, and we can't shake them in the short run. Even just Yu Jinghe isn't enough," Dongfang Ji said. "Among them, there might even be Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses."

"That's why Bai Shan Semi-Divine hasn't dared let them delve deep into the exploration, only looking for some entrance traces around the periphery."

Li Yuan couldn't help nodding.

From the various pieces of information, the local forces of the Mingxu Star Realm were indeed alarmingly strong, with Flying Heaven Level beings in abundance, unlike other Second Rank Star Realms or Third Level Star Realms.

If there were Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it wouldn't be surprising.

Whether it was the Seven Star Civilization or the Tianliang Civilization, although they have both sent many top grade Origin Martial Artists of the Fifth Stage to breakthrough to the 30th level in the Mingxu Star Realm, planning to stay there permanently... but with only one year's time, at most they could only break through to the 31st level... in terms of strength, they were not as good as Yu Jinghe.

Yu Jinghe's strength should be close to or on par with the 33rd level.

Therefore, to this point, both sides are still exploring around the outskirts of Ming Mountain, not daring to go deeper.

Once they stir up the local Flying Heaven Peak powerhouses, it would be a nightmare for any side's forces.

"If your strength advances further, with the Domain Illusory Body, you can entangle with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse for a while," Dongfang Ji said. "This is the advantage of cultivating two Laws."

"Mm," Li Yuan nodded.

A Second Rank Life contending with a Flying Heaven Peak Powerhouse? Nearly impossible, even he wasn't confident about it.

But to just cope, there was hope.

"Secondly, be careful of the genius Prime Warriors from the Myriad Demons Civilization," Dongfang Ji said.

"Lu Lei, Rolbis?" Li Yuan said softly.

These were two exceptional geniuses affiliated with the Myriad Demons Civilization mentioned in the recent intelligence report.

"Mm."

"The Myriad Demons Civilization is the divine-level civilization that is second only to the Immortal Ruins Civilization out of those our civilization has directly encountered; it also has many Divine Kingdoms within it... Looking across the entire Dimensional Domain, it is an extremely powerful civilization," Dongfang Ji said. "The 'Heaven Wind Divine Kingdom' established by the Heaven Wind Divine is the mother country of the Tianliang Civilization."

"The two civilizations are closely linked."

"If the Tianliang Civilization itself had hope, they might not request help from the Myriad Demons Civilization... but now they are hopeless, and they are likely to invite the Myriad Demons Civilization to come," Dongfang Ji said. "Among the younger generation of the Myriad Demons Civilization, there are many whose strength is comparable to Lude Nef and Yu Jinghe."

"The strongest we know of from the intelligence we've gathered are Lu Lei and Rolbis."

"When the time comes, if you join hands with Yu Jinghe, there is hope of winning," Dongfang Ji said.

Li Yuan reflexively nodded. Perhaps, Alliance Hierarch Dongfang is an invincible demi-god, making many civilizations dare not invade further.

But overall, the strength of the Seven Star Civilization is not comparable to the many divine-level civilizations.

Geniuses like Lude Nef take many years for the Seven Star Civilization to produce one.

But in those divine-level civilizations, each period sees the birth of a large group.

It's due to the overall cultivation environment, as well as the population base... with more people, naturally, more geniuses are born.

"Alliance Hierarch, what about Lude Nef? Is he not going to the Mingxu Star Realm?" Li Yuan asked, puzzled.

"He has already broken through to the Flying Heaven Realm," Dongfang Ji said. "It's just that this news has been kept secret and hasn't been announced."

Li Yuan suddenly realized, no wonder there had been no news of Lude Nef for over a year—he had actually made a breakthrough.

"Alliance Hierarch, I would like to inquire about the situation of my teacher, 'Lie Feng Semi-Divine'," Li Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Bai Shan Semi-Divine purchased the 'Myriad Beasts Blood Source' from me... Is that thing useful to my teacher?"

Bai Shan Semi-Divine also owed a great debt of gratitude to Li Yuan.

If the other party wanted it, it was naturally hard for Li Yuan to refuse.

"Useless!"

"Longevity is an iron rule of the heavens and earth's law, nearly impossible to break," Dongfang Ji slightly shook his head, "For a demigod, a thousand years of life is the limit... All external objects simply prevent the body from aging further, but when it's time to die, one must die, all the same."

"Your teacher…" Dongfang Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "He's no longer in the Seven Star Civilization, he has left."

Left? So soon? Li Yuan was startled.

By his reckoning, it hadn't been long since he and his teacher had parted ways.

"Your teacher is a demi-god peak powerhouse, nearing the end of his lifespan, it's natural for him to take a gamble," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "There are matters that are of no benefit for you to know now. When someday you possess strength at the Flying Heaven Level comparable to that of a demigod, then you will be qualified to know the core secrets of our Seven Star Civilization."

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded, subconsciously thinking of the 'Burial Immortal Ancient Domain' that Master Lie Feng had mentioned.

Could it be, had his teacher gone there again?

"Don't overthink it."

"What you need to do now is to continue strengthening your power."

"You continue your concealed cultivation in the Martial Divine Star Realm for now, and if you're required to travel to the Mingxu Star Realm, I will send word to you," Dongfang Ji looked at Li Yuan, "If there's anything in your cultivation that the Seven Stars Points cannot solve... send word to Duanmu Hong."

"If it still can't be resolved, then come find me," Dongfang Ji said.

"Thank you, Alliance Hierarch," Li Yuan said respectfully.

Li Yuan understood, he had gained another special privilege—direct access to Dongfang Ji.

Across the Seven Star Civilization, most likely, the majority of Flying Heaven Warriors didn't have this kind of permission.

Before long,

Li Yuan returned to the Martial Divine Star Realm through the same passage he had come by.

"Master, that 'Thousand Illusion Token' is one of the three great tokens of the Wind Vein," a deep voice sounded in the void space, "In the past, when Snow Dragon Semi-Divine was at the Flying Heaven Level, you didn't even bestow it upon him."

"Even with the aid of Divine Spirit Liquid and Lie Feng's guidance, to be able to condense the embryo of True Intent from the Wind's Mystery in such a short time," Dongfang Ji said calmly, "is enough to prove his talent in the Wind Vein."

"Let's try!"

"There's only one token for the Earth Vein, which has been given to the predecessor Bai Shan... Li Yuan, only by making great achievements in the Wind Vein, does he have a chance."

…

Upon returning to the Martial Divine Star Realm, Duanmu Mountain Master did not probe further but allowed Li Yuan to depart, and Li Yuan returned to his own villa estate.

The underground martial arts room.

"Drip~"

As soon as Li Yuan sat down cross-legged, he felt his smart ring vibrate; he glanced at the caller and immediately answered.

A holographic projection formed.

"Dean," Li Yuan said respectfully.

The caller was none other than Fang Hai, clad in black, sitting within the quiet chamber of a flying vessel.

"Duanmu Mountain Master mentioned you've just met with the Alliance Hierarch?" Fang Hai got straight to the point.

"Yes," Li Yuan nodded.

"Makes sense. You've become the number one Prime Warrior of our civilization; it's normal for the Alliance Hierarch to summon you," Fang Hai said with a smile.

Li Yuan was not surprised that Dean Hai knew this, and the dean was Dean Hai's immediate superior...

"Did the Alliance Hierarch give you a token? One that can be exchanged for a hundred years of usage rights with ten thousand points?" Fang Hai's mouth suddenly showed a hint of a mysterious smile.

Li Yuan was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Dean, how do you know?"

Fang Hai laughed.

"You don't need to worry about how I know," Fang Hai's expression turned serious, "I am just reminding you that this is a rare opportunity for you. In the eyes of the Alliance Hierarch... you are already a vital member of the core circle of our Seven Star Civilization."

Li Yuan was shaken.

If someone else had said this, perhaps they would have been buttering him up, but coming from Fang Hai, the meaning was entirely different.

Fang Hai had no need to deceive him.

"Whatever the Alliance Hierarch has tasked you with, do your best," Fang Hai said in a low voice, "I can't say more, but all I can tell you is... the things that the Alliance Hierarch has kept hidden are ten times, a hundred times more powerful than you can possibly imagine!"

"Since the Alliance Hierarch values you and has expectations for you, then go all out in your efforts, you won't be wrong," he added.

Li Yuan was astonished.

The Alliance Hierarch, that powerful?

Soon after, Fang Hai ended the communication, but Li Yuan's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

"Thousand Illusion Formation?" Li Yuan flipped his palm to look at the token, "The Alliance Hierarch said, to come find him once I've comprehended all the Mystery contained in the token?"

"Strive on!"

"First, I'll meditate on it for a while, then I'll go to receive this year's Martial God Inheritance," Li Yuan concentrated with a calm spirit, integrating his consciousness into the token.
