High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 760 Imperial Weapon in Hand! Importance Required

“I know. Among the powerful figures in the Eternal Ruins, those at the God-King level are generally referred to as low-level Quasi-Saints, while those at the Emperor level are referred to as high-level Quasi-Saints,” Li Yuan said.

Quasi-saints refer to those who establish the Way.

Although each person in the Emperor Realm has taken the fourth step of the Eternal Path, they are essentially just powerful Quasi-Saints.

“That’s right. The first three steps of the Eternal Path are for low-level Quasi-Saints, and once you take the fourth step along the Eternal Path, you become a high-level Quasi-Saint.” Cang Er said, “Even if you, Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan, are as strong as the peak Emperor Realm, you are still only a ‘low-level Quasi-Saint’.”

"But strength is another matter."

"Some low-level Quasi-Saints are stronger than many high-level Quasi-Saints," Commander Cang Er said. "Therefore, in the many Eternal Ruins, the strength of Quasi-Saints is uniformly divided into ten levels!"

Li Yuan stirred slightly.

"The so-called God King Perfection is the fifth-order Quasi-Saint," Commander Cang Er said. "And the God King Invincible is the threshold strength of the Emperor Realm, that is, the sixth-order Quasi-Saint. Those Emperor Realm cultivators who have only opened up an ordinary path are basically at this level."

"A seventh-order Quasi-Saint is the strength of an ordinary Emperor Realm cultivator. Usually, they have opened up a high-level Eternal Path to the fourth step. Your master, the Awakening Star God Emperor, can be called a top-tier seventh-order Quasi-Saint."

“An eighth-order Quasi-Saint is the peak strength of the Emperor Realm. Usually, they have opened up a top-tier Eternal Path to the fourth step. Your Chaos God Emperor of the Chaos Palace lineage is a top-tier eighth-order Quasi-Saint.”

"A ninth-order quasi-saint, according to the classification of cultivators in your universe, is revered as a ruler. Generally, one must open up two top-tier eternal paths to reach the fourth step."

"A tenth-order quasi-saint is a supreme being. One must either merge with the Dao or open up three top-tier eternal Daos to the fourth step. This is also a limit of strength for beings in the universe, so it is not an exaggeration to call them 'supreme beings of the universe'," Commander Cang Er said with a smile.

Li Yuan finally understood.

It turns out that the tenth-level quasi-saint is the supreme being.

"Above the tenth-order Quasi-Saint is the Sub-Saint." Commander Cang Er sighed, "At the initial stage of transcendence, the universe can no longer bind them. They truly possess a near-eternal lifespan and can add the word 'Saint' to their name. Even if they are only Sub-Saint, it is still incredible."

"Like our many eternal relics, such as the Immortal Temple, they can suppress or even kill a tenth-tier quasi-saint if they so choose."

“But if a quasi-saint were to be born in this vast universe, we would be helpless,” Cang Er said solemnly.

There is clearly a vast difference between a quasi-saint and a sub-saint.

Li Yuan was already aware of this. Once a God-King Realm cultivator approaches the end of their lifespan, their true form can only slumber within the inner universe of the Emperor Realm, making it difficult for them to reappear in the cosmos.

While most Emperor-level beings can appear at any time, their total lifespan in the universe is still only tens of millions of years.

Therefore, most of the time, those at the Emperor Realm stay in the Eternal Ruins. Although their cultivation is slow, at least it does not consume their true lifespan.

The Supreme Beings underwent a qualitative change, and the river of time could no longer erode them, but it could not stop the calamity of the universe's cycle of reincarnation.

As for the Second Saint, he has already transcended the constraints of the universe's cycle of reincarnation.

“Commander Cang’er,” Li Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “According to you, Quasi-Saints transcend all constraints, have a lifespan that is almost infinite, and there has been more than one Quasi-Saint in the history of the universe. Why are there none now?”

Don’t say anything else.

Emperor Baidao and Emperor Moya are the two people Li Yuan knows who left behind a clear lineage of Dao... Moreover, the spirit in the Divine Palace of Emperor Shenlunhai also said that Emperor Baidao left behind a lineage of Dao before he left, which may be lost over the endless years.

Where did they go?

And what about the creators of numerous eternal ruins—these incredible beings, whose strength and realm are clearly above that of Quasi-Saints? Where did they come from? And where did they go?
In short, there are too many mysteries in this vast universe.

“I don’t know.” Cang Er shook his head and said, “Perhaps the God Lord knows… In time, if you reach the tenth-order Quasi-Saint level, or even the Sub-Saint level, you can go anywhere in this vast universe and then you will know more.”

"Strength is your foundation."

"Mm." Li Yuan nodded slightly.

In any case, today, through the high-ranking members of the Immortal Temple and the brief introductions to the inheritance of several sub-saintly arts, two things have finally been completely confirmed.

First, as long as one surpasses the Supreme Being, one can break free from the shackles of the origin of the universe, and there will be no more cycles of reincarnation in the universe, truly achieving endless lifespan.

Secondly, judging from the introductions of several sub-sage techniques, the sub-sages all seem to have ultimately followed the path of unifying the three paths and achieved success.

This is essentially the same path opened up by the Hundred Paths Emperor.

The unity of the three paths leads to the Great Way to Heaven.

"But the path I'm about to take is clearly much more difficult than the path of merging the three paths into one." Li Yuan saw it very clearly; he had only been cultivating for a short time, yet he was already so strong.

The original conception, which was only recently created, was already incredible.

In the future, if I were to truly create a fifth supreme eternal path, how difficult would it be to make so many eternal paths completely merge with the Dao?

The strongest path is also destined to be the most difficult!
……

After receiving the inheritance of the sub-saint's ultimate skill "Burning Heart", Li Yuan followed Cang Er and arrived at another mysterious place, which was also a vast void.

However, there was no outward manifestation of the Immortal Heavenly Mirror here. Countless imperial weapons, each exuding a terrifying aura, floated in the void. All of these massive imperial weapons were suppressed here, motionless... Even with Li Yuan's eyesight, it was difficult to see the end of this void.

"So many imperial weapons." Li Yuan looked around and exclaimed in amazement: "Moreover, judging from my senses, each imperial weapon is probably at least a mid-grade imperial weapon."

Is this the essence of the Immortal Temple?
The more he learned, the more incredible it seemed. But Li Yuan also understood that over countless years, generations of quasi-saint powerhouses in the universe had continuously exchanged treasures at the Immortal Temple, which gave him an idea of ​​just how many imperial weapons the Immortal Temple possessed.

Millions? Tens of millions? They're simply too numerous to count. "As instructed by the Divine Lord, Xin Yuan Quasi-Saint will bestow upon you two more high-grade Emperor Weapons," Cang Er said. "Tell me the type of Emperor Weapon you require, and I will retrieve a high-grade Emperor Weapon that suits you."

Li Yuan had already made up his mind and said directly, "I need a soul defense imperial weapon and a soul attack imperial weapon."

"They're all soul-type?" Cang Er was taken aback.

Li Yuan nodded. He had thought about it long ago. Material attack type? He already had the Abyss Killer. Even if he had one more, it would only increase the material attack of his other true body by a lot. But if he encountered an invincible enemy, he would still find it difficult to resist.

A material defense imperial weapon? Having received billions of cubic meters of Eternal Crystals from Xiao Mu, plus the spoils of war from killing Emperor Tuo Yan, he could easily exchange them for one.

Only soul-type imperial weapons are extremely rare. For example, a superior soul-type imperial weapon is hard to find even in the Supreme Star City.

Even if you sell it, the price of a soul-type imperial weapon is extremely high... Although I have the Snow Heart Tower for soul defense, a mid-grade imperial weapon is obviously not enough compared to the enemies I might encounter in the Abyss Sacrifice Sea.

Moreover, the Ancient Universe Realm has not yet returned, and whether it can pass the test of the Supreme Hall of the Primordial Shadows before the Abyss Sea Sacrifice begins is still unknown.

Li Yuan naturally wanted to plan ahead.

"Alright, wait a moment." Commander Cang Er looked up at the void, and his palms suddenly grew larger, instantly traversing the vast void and directly plucking down the two imperial weapons without any hindrance.

Immediately, Cang Er swiftly withdrew his palms, and with a flip of his hand, the two imperial weapons landed in front of Li Yuan.

“Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, take a look.” Commander Cang Er pointed to the two imperial weapons. One of the imperial weapons was shaped like a blue water droplet, with countless intricate Dao patterns appearing on its surface, radiating a rich aura of life.

The other imperial weapon was a faintly visible ring, but its aura was extremely ethereal, as if it did not exist on the material level.

"Chichi~"

Li Yuan immediately reached out his hand, and with his current strength, he easily imprinted his life mark on the two imperial weapons, thus establishing their initial mastery.

The moment the two imperial weapons were recognized as their master, a wealth of information surged into Li Yuan's mind and was quickly accepted by him.

"What a treasure!" Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

Two imperial weapons.

The first item, shaped like a blue teardrop, is called the "Mysterious Jade Sea." It contains the profound mysteries of two top-tier eternal paths: the Path of the Heart and the Path of Myriad Spirits. It can both guard the origin of the soul and greatly enhance the recovery speed of the illusory power in the cultivator's true spiritual realm.

The second ring-shaped imperial weapon, named 'Dark Annihilation Realm', contains the profound mysteries of two top-tier eternal paths: the Dao of Heart and Weapon and the Dao of World. It is most suitable for unleashing illusionary invasion techniques.

“Xuan Yu Hai will temporarily represent the Ancient Universe Realm, cooperating with the main battle body to guard the origin of the soul,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “As for the Dark Annihilation Realm, it will be handed over to another body, mainly to provide support by unleashing domain and soul attacks.”

"Wait for the return of the Ancient Universe."

"Perhaps we could consider having all three true forms act together, each wielding a powerful imperial weapon," Li Yuan mused to himself.

One true body dominates material destruction, another true body dominates domain binding, and yet another true body dominates soul attack.

Only through mutual cooperation and shared understanding can the strongest combat power be unleashed... Of course, the more true forms appear together, the more powerful imperial weapons will be needed.

Li Yuan absorbed the two imperial weapons into his body and cupped his hands, saying, "Commander Cang'er, thank you very much. These two imperial weapons are extremely suitable for me."

The profound mysteries of the Eternal Dao contained in these two imperial weapons alone show that they were specially selected by Commander Cang Er, making them very suitable for Li Yuan to refine and use, and they will also provide some guidance for Li Yuan's cultivation of the Eternal Dao.

"Haha, I'm just doing my best to help you within my authority," Cang Er laughed. "Quasi-Saint Xinyuan, keep up the good work."

“I believe the God Lord values ​​you highly. Perhaps you will be another sub-saint born in the universe in the future,” Cang Er said with a smile.

His scope of authority is actually quite broad.

If he wanted, he could choose two items that were not suitable for Li Yuan, as long as they contained the profound mysteries of the Dao of Mind and Artifact.

"Thank you for your kind words, Commander," Li Yuan said with a smile.

……

Soon after, Cang Er sent Li Yuan away and returned to the highest forbidden area of ​​the Immortal Temple, where the golden-robed god still sat on the majestic throne.

"Lord God," Cang Er said respectfully, "I have already sent the Quasi-Saint Xin Yuan away."

"Hmm, is he satisfied with the Imperial Weapon and the Quasi-Saint's Ultimate Technique?" the Golden-Robed God Lord asked slowly.

"From what I've observed, he seems quite satisfied," Cang Er said respectfully. "I will send him another message before the Abyss Sea Sacrifice begins."

"only."

"There is something I don't understand," Cang Er couldn't help but ask. "Is the Quasi-Saint of Heart Source really worth such attention? It's one thing to be given an Imperial Weapon, but it's nothing to my Immortal Temple. But you, God Lord, have even given me an Eternal Treasure. No supreme being in history has ever received such an honor."

As the leader.

Cang Er knew very well that an Emperor Weapon was something that even a top-tier Emperor Weapon could be forged by the Immortal Temple itself, but each one would come at a huge cost.

Only the eternal treasures, left behind by the immortal creators of heaven and earth, are limited in number; once one is used, another is gone.

"Supreme? That's just a tenth-order Quasi-Saint." The golden-robed God Lord shook his head slightly: "They are no match for the Heart Source Quasi-Saint."
