High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 722 Snow Heart Tower! Time (6K)

"Three months?" Li Yuan pondered.

"Correct."

"The main problem is that the two Emperor Weapons you need are both mid-grade Emperor Weapons, which are not sold in ordinary Star City shops. Moreover, if you buy them in Tianluo Star City, the information will be very easy to leak," said the Chaos God Emperor. "Therefore, I need to ask some friends and go to Supreme Star City to see if there are any that are most suitable for you."

"In addition, the basic life materials you need, although not expensive overall, are quite complicated and must be purchased from Supreme Star City."

Li Yuan understood.

The entire Immortal Realm now has 211 star cities, most of which were built by the Overlords.

However, there are three star cities that stand high above, established by the Supreme Being, and are therefore called Supreme Star Cities.

These are the three supreme star cities: Chijun Supreme Star City, Tianyue Supreme Star City, and Hanxing Supreme Star City. The members of these three supreme star cities have always looked down upon all sides.

"Chaos, which Supreme Star City are you planning to go to?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

"Chijun Supreme Star City." The Chaos God Emperor laughed, "Many of my Emperor-level friends are from Chijun Supreme Star City."

"Among the three supreme beings, the experts of the Tianyue Universe Alliance are the most domineering." The Chaos God Emperor continued to explain, "The members of the Hanxing Universe Alliance are not much better... Only the experts of the Chijun Universe Alliance are more fair to outsiders, especially to the experts of my Eighth Dark Domain, they are generally more amiable."

The Crimson Universe Alliance? More amiable towards the powerhouses of the Eighth Dark Domain? Li Yuan wondered to himself.

It is unknown whether this is related to the Supreme Being of the Northern River.

After all, according to Xiao Mu, when Chi Jun Supreme first entered the Emperor Realm, he received some guidance from Bei He Supreme.

According to Xiao Mu, among the five supreme beings of the contemporary era, the most mysterious one is Jing Zhizun.

But if we're talking about someone Li Yuan should befriend deeply, it's only Supreme Chi Jun.

However, Li Yuan has no plans to associate with any Supreme Being for the time being... He has too many secrets, and the Supreme Beings are too powerful.

Without absolute self-defense capabilities, engaging with an unfamiliar supreme being could easily lead to situations beyond Li Yuan's control.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Li Yuan said with a smile, and with a wave of his hand, handed over all 30 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals that he had just received and hadn't even warmed up yet to the Chaos God Emperor.

"Do not worry."

"Just wait peacefully in Star City." The Chaos God Emperor didn't take the 30 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals too seriously.

Such a fortune is a huge sum even for an ordinary Emperor Realm expert.

But even for someone as powerful as him, there weren't many.

……

After the Chaos God Emperor left, Li Yuan's five true forms did not wait idly in Tianluo Star City, but instead set off for the Divine Wheel Sea.

With Li Yuan's current travel speed, even without the help of Star City teleportation... he arrived in less than ten days.

They encountered no obstacles along the way.

After swiftly traversing the ever-changing ocean interwoven with countless rays of light, Li Yuan once again arrived outside the Hundred Divine Wheels, where the Great Sages were still gathered.

"He is a Quasi-Saint of the Heart Source."

"It's really him!"

"A seventh-order Quasi-Saint? Xin Yuan, I didn't pay much attention to him when he was at the Hundred Paths Divine Wheel last time." The Quasi-Saints from various powerful forces in the vast universe couldn't help but look at Li Yuan, each one filled with awe.

Even members of Chijun Supreme Star City, Hanxing Supreme Star City, and Tianyue Supreme Star City are no exception.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

In the past.

These members of the Supreme Star City are quite domineering. Even members of the Taihua Universe Alliance are unwilling to provoke them in the Hundred Paths Divine Wheel area.

He can face a seventh-tier quasi-saint.

Among the fourth-tier and fifth-tier Quasi-Saints present, who dared to be arrogant? It should be noted that Li Yuan had just slaughtered hundreds of Quasi-Saints not long ago.

"Wasn't he always inside the Palace of a Hundred Gods? How did he get here from outside?"

“I haven’t heard that he left the Palace of a Hundred Gods.”

"Foolish! If he leaves, goes through the spatial spring, and randomly appears in various places in the Divine Wheel Sea, how could you possibly know?"

"Moreover, it is rumored that the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source is one of the three top-tier Eternal Paths, one of which is the Path of Myriad Spirits... The experts of the Path of Myriad Spirits lineage have nine true bodies. Perhaps this is another true body of the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source?" These Quasi-Saints communicated with each other through telepathy.

Li Yuan didn't seem to care about them.

Outside the Hundred Divine Wheels, Quasi-Saint Di Kun had already left before the Celestial Court's siege of Quasi-Saints, so it was not worth Li Yuan lingering here.

but.

The news that "Quasi-Saint Xinyuan has reappeared at the Hundred Paths Divine Wheel" spread quickly and became known to many major forces that were concerned about Li Yuan's whereabouts.

...Soon after, inside the Emperor's Divine Palace.

"Five more true forms have arrived?"

The bald, purple-robed figure wasn't surprised to see the five newly arrived true forms: "Are they all here to cultivate the 'Hundred Paths Sacred Body' body-refining method?"

"Alright, there's not much else in the Divine Palace, but the Eternal Dao Intent fluctuations are the most abundant. Even if you had a hundred or a thousand true bodies, let alone nine, they still wouldn't be able to exhaust them all."

"Thank you for your trouble, senior." Li Yuan said gratefully, "Please send my two true bodies away as well, senior. I still need to return some treasures first."

"I will return to cultivate in peace once all external matters have been resolved."

The numerous treasures obtained from slaying hundreds of quasi-saints are still stored in the two true bodies of the Emperor's Divine Palace.

Although they had already obtained the Celestial Emperor's '30 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals'.

However, this spoils of war, worth hundreds of millions of Eternal Crystals, are not to be ignored by Li Yuan at this moment.

"It's nothing," said the bald, purple-robed figure.

that's it.

Li Yuan, along with his other true form, once again embarked on the journey back to Tianluo Star City, carrying the main battle weapons such as the Abyss of Slaughter and the Ancient Universe Realm, as well as a large number of treasures.

……

Time passes day by day.

After Li Yuan returned to Tianluo Star City, he quickly sold off his spoils of war, including imperial weapons, a large number of divine king weapons, and rare treasures, in batches to various shops in the city, except for a small portion that he could use himself.

In the end, Li Yuan obtained approximately 2.2 million cubic meters of Eternal Crystals.

then.

He then began a large-scale procurement in Tianluo Star City... His main targets were ordinary imperial weapons similar to the Blood Calamity Spear and the Myriad Manifestations Armor.

"In the foreseeable future."

“I should only have two or three true bodies when I’m out there risking my life and death,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “Then, I can concentrate the main battle treasures on these true bodies. For example, the Abyss of Slaughter and the Ancient Universe can be used by one true body each to unleash their full power.”

Both the Abyss of Slaughter and the Ancient Universe are powerful in every way, with one being equivalent to multiple Emperor Weapons... Before Li Yuan enters the Emperor Realm, one true body is enough to wield one of them.

"As for the other true forms?"

"In the future, I will be guarding the Mohe Star Region and will never be able to leave. There is absolutely no need to equip myself with any other treasures."

“The rest of my true forms spend most of their time in seclusion and cultivation, so there’s no need to equip them with too many powerful treasures,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “They only need to be equipped with four low-grade imperial weapons.”

Material attack, Imperial Weapon Divine Spear!
Material defense, Imperial Armor.

Soul Defense Imperial Weapon.

Domain-protecting imperial weapon.

This is Li Yuan's idea: any one of them, as long as they have four such low-grade imperial weapons working together, can still unleash the strength of a seventh-order quasi-saint, even if they are not as strong as the main battle body.

This is also normal practice for the powerful members of the Wanlingdao lineage.

If a true body can equip three or four mid-grade or high-grade imperial weapons, it will naturally unleash tremendous power.

Let alone Li Yuan, even most Emperor-level beings can't afford to play this game... it's too expensive.

time flies.

Li Yuan conducted a screening process throughout Tianluo Star City.

They then asked Elder Huoqu and Elder Kongyao to make the purchases, ultimately spending approximately 1.4 million Eternal Crystals to buy a total of 20 low-grade Emperor Weapons.

Adding the four low-grade imperial weapons that Li Yuan kept from his previous spoils, he now has a total of 24 low-grade weapons.

This is enough to keep all six true forms in super combat power.

"These low-grade imperial weapons are only meant to provide the other true bodies with basic combat strength; the chances of them actually being used are slim," Li Yuan thought to himself. "Only the treasures in the hands of the Chaos God Emperor hold a chance; hopefully, they won't turn out any unexpectedly."

That's the key point.

Just over a month later, Li Yuan witnessed the return of the Chaos God Emperor, and he rushed to the Chaos God Emperor's residence immediately.

"Chaos." Li Yuan felt a sense of anticipation.

"Haha, don't worry, all the treasures you need have been bought." The Chaos God Emperor smiled and waved his hand gently: "Look, this is the imperial weapon you need."

call!
Inside the vast palace, a small purple 'lake' appeared out of thin air, floating in the void, with countless 'waters' rippling around it, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.

but!

Upon closer inspection, this is not a lake at all, but a sea of ​​fire formed by the convergence of countless purple flames, flowing like water. Countless Dao patterns converge on the surface of the flames, intricate and endless, with a faint, grand, and eternal Dao intent emanating from them.

As countless purple flames were born, the temperature inside the palace dropped rapidly.

"The Dao of the World?" Li Yuan stared intently at the countless purple flames.

"Correct!"

"This imperial weapon is named 'Frosty Flame Lake,' a domain-type secret treasure containing two eternal paths: one is the top-tier eternal path, the World Path, and the other is the ordinary eternal path, the 'Blazing Fire Path,' both of which are four-step mysteries," said the Chaos God Emperor. "It's quite good among mid-grade imperial weapons."

"Two eternal paths?" Li Yuan looked slightly surprised.

Even if one of them is just an ordinary Eternal Path, its value will be much higher... The ability to merge different Eternal Path origins into one indicates that the origin structure is extremely ingenious.

It greatly promotes and guides cultivation in the Emperor Realm.

"Chaos, how much is this domain-type imperial weapon worth?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

Although he asked the Chaos God Emperor to purchase a mid-grade Emperor Weapon of the Domain type, he only gave him a budget of 15 billion cubic Eternal Crystals.

Notice!

Special imperial weapons are not included.

Among the many common types of Imperial Weapons, the difficulty of crafting increases in the following order: material attack, material defense, binding, domain, soul, and spacetime. Their value also increases accordingly.

"It's not expensive, only 18 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals." The Chaos God Emperor laughed, "We'll talk about the price later, you should put away this Frost Flame Lake first."

"Hmm." Li Yuan suppressed his doubts, and with a thought, his divine power surged forth, quickly penetrating the depths of the Frostflame Lake.

After sensing the source deep within the lake, it quickly imprinted its life mark, completing the initial recognition of its master.

A mid-grade imperial weapon is difficult to subdue even by a fifth-order quasi-saint without external assistance.

but.

With Li Yuan's current strength, he could even forcibly recognize a high-grade imperial weapon like the Abyss of Slaughter as his master... No matter how strong an imperial weapon is, it is still just a weapon.

"In addition, I found another imperial weapon in Chijun Star City that is quite suitable for you. Take a look." The Chaos God Emperor waved his hand again.

Wow~
Countless snowflakes appeared out of thin air, forming a pagoda in the center of the palace that seemed both real and illusory. The pagoda had seven stories, shimmering with countless strange lights, and Daoist patterns appeared and disappeared, creating a dreamlike and mysterious atmosphere. It was as if one had been transported to another vast spiritual world.

"This is... a soul-type treasure?" A look of surprise flashed across Li Yuan's face. Although he had not yet opened the path of the Heart Artifact, his long-term deduction and research had given him a very deep understanding of the True Realm of the Mind.

Li Yuan could sense it.

Within this pagoda, which emits countless snowflakes, seems to lie a vast universe... a realm of the soul.

"Correct."

"This treasure is called the 'Snow Heart Tower,' an imperial weapon that guards the soul and contains the four profound mysteries of the Dao of Heart and Weapon." The Chaos God Emperor smiled and said, "It should suit you quite well, so take it."

"I'll accept it?" Li Yuan quickly shook his head and said, "Chaos, this imperial weapon should be worth more than 30 billion cubic Eternal Crystals."

With Li Yuan's current level of insight, he can roughly discern the value of an imperial weapon.

I only gave a total of 30 billion Eternal Crystals, and this Snow Heart Tower alone has already exceeded that amount.

"About right, to be precise, 30.8 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals." The Chaos God Emperor laughed, "Xinyuan, I know what you're thinking... You don't need to feel any burden."

"I know your personality, and I've thought about it carefully."

"You created the Path of Myriad Spirits and have nine true bodies, so you've long been accustomed to having two true bodies join forces to fight and conquer outside, right?" said the Chaos God Emperor.

Li Yuan nodded.

Each true body has limited mental energy. Even if one opens up multiple paths, it is impossible for each true body to use multiple combat techniques at the same time.

Therefore, the best combination is for one true body to control the domain and for another to attack.

After all, the coordination of his multiple true forms was absolutely telepathic, which was far more effective than the combined efforts of multiple powerful individuals.

"As far as I know."

"When you go on your adventures, you will be carrying the Abyss of Slaughter and the Ancient Universe Realm." The Chaos God Emperor continued, "The Ancient Universe Realm has endless power. It is the strongest imperial weapon that Senior Xinmeng prepared for you... Its life-saving ability is first-class. Just guarding the soul is comparable to a mid-grade imperial weapon. Once you hide inside, you are practically unshakeable."

"One of your true forms is enough to control it."

“But the Ancient Universe Realm is not a dedicated domain-type imperial weapon, so pairing it with the ‘Frost Flame Lake’ is the most suitable option, and it can also unleash the full power of the Ancient Universe Realm. This should also be your idea, right?” said the Chaos God Emperor.

Li Yuan couldn't help but nod.

As expected of the Chaos God Emperor, he was able to deduce the basics of his plan based on the information he had. Indeed, the Ancient Universe Realm possessed three great martial arts techniques.

However, "Suppressing Boundaries" enhances the control over spacetime, rather than the domain itself; it can be combined with other domain-type imperial weapons to unleash its power.

When the two are combined, their power is limitless.

"And the other true form wields the Abyss of Slaughter to kill enemies." The Chaos God Emperor said, "Although the Abyss of Slaughter's physical attack is strong, its defense is weak."

"The material defense is alright, with the Ancient Universe Realm. In an extremely dangerous situation, you can hide both of your true bodies in the Ancient Universe Realm. Even a peak Emperor Realm expert would find it difficult to suppress you."

"But what about soul defense?"

Li Yuan listened attentively.

"Compared to physical defense, whether it's me, your master, or Senior Xinmeng, we are actually more worried about you being attacked by your soul." Chaos God Emperor said solemnly, "Now, there are very few means that can still threaten the life of your entire true body, but there are still some in this vast universe, such as high-level 'Abyss Reflection'."

"And most of these methods involve the soul, cause and effect, and destiny."

“If a sovereign exists and sets a trap, and your soul defense is not strong enough, you could fall into it and perish completely,” said the Chaos God Emperor.

Li Yuan fell into deep thought.

He was indeed extremely capable of protecting himself, but he was only at the God King realm and his combat strength was only at the level of an ordinary Emperor realm. Meanwhile, his potential enemies were all terrifying... In this vast universe, there were still ways to completely annihilate him.

"With the Snow Heart Tower protecting you, even if you encounter a trap set by the Sovereign, at least you will have enough time to commit suicide," said the Chaos God Emperor.

Li Yuan smiled helplessly.

suicide?

Indeed, sometimes, even the thought of suicide becomes a luxury.

"However, the Snow Heart Tower is too expensive; I can't afford it," Li Yuan said, shaking his head. This kind of imperial weapon can even withstand soul attacks from the Dominator level.

It's perfectly normal for it to be so valuable.

"Haha." The Chaos God Emperor laughed, "Consider this treasure as a gift to you as you step into the God King realm."

"Give it to me? Is that appropriate?" Li Yuan hesitated.

The Star God Emperor was his master, so it was one thing for him to give him treasures.

In Li Yuan's heart, the Heart Dream God Emperor was almost like a 'teacher,' guiding him throughout his cultivation journey.

Could it be the Chaos God Emperor? In reality, the two sides hadn't even met for very long.

“In principle, every candidate elder in the Chaos Palace should receive a gift from the Divine Palace.” The Chaos God Emperor smiled and said, “This gift is also provided by me, the first Palace Master, so it is nothing to me.”

“Your strength is extraordinary, reaching the seventh level, so it’s normal for me to give you a more valuable gift.” The Chaos God Emperor laughed, “This Snow Heart Tower is not bad, but it’s nothing to me.”

"I thought it was the best fit for you right now, so I bought it for you."

As a near-dominant being, it's perfectly normal for the Chaos God Emperor to have accumulated hundreds of billions of Eternal Crystals over the long years, aside from his main battle treasures.

"Heart Source is just a small gift, no need to be so fussy." The Chaos God Emperor shook his head and said, "We restrict the bestowal of treasures on other low-level Quasi-Saints, and rarely give them directly, in order to urge them to work hard and hone their skills."

"But for you, there is no need for that anymore."

“Alright,” Li Yuan said, secretly feeling grateful that he would repay the Chaos God Emperor’s kindness if he had the chance in the future.

Really speaking.

He obtained the Source Seed through the Emperor Source Realm back then... The Emperor Source Realm was created by the Chaos God Emperor.

If it weren't for the help of the Chaos God Emperor, even the Master would have had difficulty obtaining Shi Yuan.

Moreover, along the way, the Chaos God Emperor seemed to have made very few moves... but his almost dominant power alone had reduced a lot of trouble for me.

The three great god emperors of the Chaos Divine Court.

Each of them played an important role in Li Yuan's cultivation from different perspectives... How could Li Yuan not be grateful?

"The other treasures are all to assist your cultivation. I bought them basically according to your requirements, so take them all." The Chaos God Emperor flipped his palm again and handed over a storage magic treasure.

……

After parting ways with the Chaos God Emperor, Li Yuan returned to his residence.

"from now on."

"One of my two true forms is venturing out into the world, carrying the Ancient Universe Realm and the Frostflame Lake." Li Yuan sat cross-legged, pondering silently. "The other true form is carrying the Abyss of Slaughter and the Snow Heart Tower."

"Cooperate with each other."

"The power it can unleash is much stronger than when it fought against the Quasi-Saints of Planets."

Li Yuan gently closed his eyes and began to familiarize himself with the two mid-grade imperial weapons, Cold Flame Lake and Snow Heart Tower.

Although they have initially recognized the master, they still need to comprehend the origin for a period of time in order to fully unleash its power.

Especially the Snow Heart Tower.

Li Yuan has not yet developed the Mind-Weapon Path, and it will take him even longer to truly master the profound mysteries of the Snow Heart Tower.

Another true form.

Then, examine the other treasures found.

“My daily cultivation consumes 900 cubic meters of Eternal Crystals per year for the Nine True Bodies.” Li Yuan calculated: “Six thousand years would be 5400 million cubic meters of Eternal Crystals.”

"The Eternal Crystals left over from the spoils of war against hundreds of Quasi-Saints are almost enough."

After entering the God King realm, one's divine body and divine power far surpass what they had before. Using Eternal Crystals to assist in cultivation will consume even more astonishing amounts of energy.

"The King Soul Source Liquid, refined from the essence of a Quasi-Saint's soul, costs 20 cubic meters of Eternal Crystals per serving. My true body can only consume 50 servings at a time, and it can only last for a thousand years."

"Six thousand years."

“Nine true bodies will consume a maximum of 5.4 million cubic meters of Eternal Crystals.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Even if we use them sparingly and only let the true bodies in the universe use them for cultivation, it will still cost about 4 million cubic meters of Eternal Crystals.”

Long-term use of the King's Soul Source Liquid to aid cultivation results in extremely high energy consumption.

As Li Yuan's divine body and soul will further strengthen, the amount of King Soul Source Liquid required to maintain the increase will also increase.

Once one enters the Emperor Realm... it would probably take thousands of copies of the 'Emperor Soul Source Liquid' to maintain a true body for a thousand years, or even to use the 'Emperor Soul Source Liquid' directly.

Even the rulers of the realm would not dare to play like this.

Li Yuan purchased approximately 6 million cubic meters of King Soul Essence Liquid this time, which he plans to use for a maximum of about eight thousand years.

The rest.

There are also approximately 2 million cubic meters of Eternal Crystals, which are special materials used to assist in comprehending the Dao of Mind and Artifact... In addition, there are numerous life materials worth approximately 10 billion cubic meters of Eternal Crystals.

From mortal beings to those at the levels of illusory gods, true gods, and celestial gods, there was something for everyone from all the dark realms.

But the most special and expensive items were those imperial blood and life materials at the imperial realm level.

"I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a spot to enter the Abyss Sea Sacrifice," Li Yuan thought to himself. "However, for now, we'll use six thousand years as the cutoff point."

"hope."

"With the help of these auxiliary treasures, I can make a breakthrough in the Eternal Path over the next six thousand years," Li Yuan pondered.

If one can go to the Abyss to offer sacrifices to the sea, then one must strive to maximize one's strength.

If not?
Using so many auxiliary treasures can significantly increase his strength, so Li Yuan isn't at a loss.

……

After spending several more days, Li Yuan, having obtained the treasure, left the Immortal World and sent a large number of auxiliary treasures back to the Dream Universe.

It was given to the two true bodies who had long resided in the Dream Universe for use.

Then, his true form returned to the Immortal World and went directly to the Divine Wheel Sea to cultivate... Time flies.

Year after year.

Li Yuan has nine true bodies. Seven of them are cultivating the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" in the Immortal World, while the other two are using the King Soul Source Liquid and other auxiliary treasures in the Heart Dream Universe to wholeheartedly explore the mysteries of the Eternal Dao.

Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Several hundred years is negligible in the vast universe... and extremely short for countless quasi-saints and emperors.

……

At the highest point of Tianluo Star City, the Cloud Moon God Emperor, as the actual administrator of the Star City, has long been cultivating in seclusion in one of his true forms.

suddenly--

"Elder Yunyue, it's important." A deep voice suddenly sounded in his mind; it was a message from the spirit of the Star City's guardian formation.

"Speak." The Cloud Moon God Emperor opened his eyes.

Most matters in Star City are actually handled jointly by numerous ordinary Emperor Realm beings and Star City Spirits, according to existing regulations.

There are very few truly important matters that require his attention.

"News has just arrived from the Cold Journey Supreme Star City," said the spirit of the formation. "Their envoy, the 'Cold Nether God Emperor,' will arrive in my Tianluo Star City in ten days."

"Please make preparations for receiving them."
