High Martial Arts Era

Chapter 778 The Holy Decree of Heaven! Encounter

Choose one?
A hint of excitement flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. This mysterious being named Jin Jiu had given such a clear hint that he couldn't understand it.

Even the most profound and unique skills of a sage have varying degrees of strength!
The "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" that I cultivate is formed by Emperor Baidao by combining two top-tier eternal paths and one high-level eternal path. It should be considered weaker than the sub-saint's ultimate techniques. Even so, obtaining one is extremely difficult for cultivators in the universe.

Of course, the body-refining method "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" that Li Yuan cultivates is based on three top-tier eternal paths, making it much stronger than that of Emperor Baidao at the same time.

As for "Burning Heart," it should be considered to be of average quality among the sub-saintly arts... The four sub-saintly arts that Li Yuan saw in the Immortal Temple should all be at the same level.

According to Kim Gu, he had a good chance of obtaining the ultimate skill of the sage, which was far superior to "Burning Heart" and "Thousand Swords Dream World".

Its power is so great that it has the potential to approach the level of an eternal martial art.

"May I ask, senior, is this inherited ultimate skill a complete ultimate skill?" Li Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"That's natural." The golden phantom revealed a mysterious smile: "I am entrusted by the Supreme Being to transmit the Dharma; would I possibly pass on an incomplete Dharma?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Opportunity!

Big opportunity!
The complete sage's ultimate skills?
I only obtained the first three levels of the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body" body-refining method; I didn't get the final chapter because I didn't choose to cultivate the original method of the "Hundred Paths Sacred Body." As for "Burning Heart," I only got the first part for now, since it was a free gift. I can only hope to get the complete version after I successfully complete the Sea Sacrifice in the Abyss.

Even with Li Yuan's talent, this is the case.

This shows how difficult it is to obtain a complete sub-sage's ultimate skill in the vast universe.

Although Li Yuan's current level of cultivation is sufficient to cultivate the first half of the Quasi-Saint's ultimate technique, Li Yuan has a different idea.

“The complete quasi-sage’s ultimate techniques, especially the final chapter, often contain a quasi-sage’s highest insights into his own cultivation. Perhaps they can inspire and guide me…” Li Yuan thought to himself.

A top-tier, almost saintly, martial art is even more precious.

"Senior Jin Jiu, may I ask what the requirements are for reaching the second promotion standard?" Li Yuan inquired.

"I don't know," Kim Gu said, shaking his head.

Li Yuan was astonished.

Isn't the other party the mastermind behind the Ancient Ruins? How could they not know the reason?

"I am merely this universe sphere... but the specific standards for this universe sphere were set by the supreme beings," Jin Jiu said slowly. "Moreover, the standards for each cultivator are different. Even among low-level quasi-saints, can the requirements be the same for those who have cultivated for ten thousand years and those who have cultivated for a million years?"

“So, I really don’t know what your second promotion standard is. Only when you reach it will I know something about it,” Jin Jiu said.

Actually, there's another reason Kim Gu didn't mention.

Just now, Jin Jiu checked the past records and found that this universe had not been activated for an incredibly long time.

It wasn't until this time that it suddenly started.

Without past data for comparison, how can Kim Koo determine Li Yuan's second promotion criteria?

"I understand now," Li Yuan said, suddenly realizing.

It seems that the other party is merely the manager of this ancient ruin... and the origin of the ancient ruin is probably a higher-level existence, most likely the legendary eternity.

“The third benefit,” Kim Gu spoke again.

"There's more?" Li Yuan's heart stirred slightly. He was already quite satisfied with the first two benefits and never expected there to be more.

"Sacred Realm Mark!" Jin Jiu's phantom suddenly pointed into the distance: "Little guy, don't resist."

Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Jin Jiu's phantom exploded, turning into a sky full of golden light, like countless shooting stars dancing in the air. Then, the golden light turned into a massive amount of golden mist, which spread throughout the strange space, causing Li Yuan to feel a mysterious fluctuation.

"Boom~"

The moment the golden mist touched Li Yuan, it seemed to come alive completely. Countless wisps of mist in the entire strange space rolled and quickly surged into Li Yuan's body.

As they approached, Li Yuan had no way to resist.

Or rather, even if Li Yuan wanted to resist, he had no way to do so... In just an instant, the golden mist that originally filled the entire space disappeared completely.

Within Li Yuan's soul essence, a special mark has already condensed, shining brightly with dazzling golden light.

"The sword-shaped mark... this fluctuation is so similar to the Origin Sea mark," Li Yuan murmured to himself.

Through this sword-shaped golden mark.

In the darkness, Li Yuan felt that he had formed a faint connection with a mysterious place beyond endless space and time.

However, this connection was too weak... less than one ten-thousandth of the connection between Li Yuan and the Sea of ​​Life.

If Li Yuan's soul and will were not stronger than many Emperor Realm experts, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it.

“Little fellow.” Jin Jiu’s voice rang out again after he had disappeared: “This thing is called the ‘Hun Tian Sheng Ling’… If you can achieve the status of a Quasi-Saint in the future and transcend the Eternal River, it may be of some use.”

"Two thousand years from now, after you finish your cultivation in the Dao Diagram Space, choose the ultimate technique of a sub-sage based on your achievements!"

"I hope... that one day we will truly meet again." Kim Gu's voice disappeared completely.

This strange space.

It quieted down again.

"A true meeting?" Li Yuan thought to himself, "Is this Jin Jiu a spirit, or some mysterious and powerful cultivator? What descended just now should only be a wisp of his consciousness."

Those who have reached Li Yuan's level have extremely high vision and understand that there is indeed no trace of the Eternal Realm in this vast universe.

Even the supreme beings and near-saints of all ages have probably never seen an eternal being.

but!

The Eternals have never truly disappeared; they have been influencing the cultivators of the eighty-one Dark Domains throughout history through their own means. "Whatever the reason that the Eternals are unwilling to truly appear in the world... there is no doubt that behind the ancient ruins before us is probably an entity similar to the Immortal Temple." Li Yuan thought to himself, "What I need to do is seize the opportunity and strengthen my own power as much as possible."

strength!

Only with great strength can one carry out one's own will... With Li Yuan's strength, he is already capable of carrying out his will within the Dream Universe.

But looking at the vast universe? It's still far from enough.

"Cultivate." Li Yuan calmed down and continued to comprehend the nine Eternal Dao Diagrams before him. As time passed, his understanding of the four top-tier Eternal Daos he had opened up was rapidly improving.

……

In the unfathomable space deep within the ancient ruins, the phantoms of Jin Jiu, the woman in purple, and the figure in blood-red robes still converge.

"Kim Gu".

The woman in purple said softly, "You're being too kind to this little guy, even giving him a Saint Token... Although we have quite a few Saint Tokens, even if he really becomes a Quasi-Saint in the Saint Fall Domain, he probably won't need a Saint Token."

“The imperial decree, though not as important as the quota, is still somewhat reckless, Jin Jiu,” the blood-robed figure said in a low voice.

"Zijing, Yan," Jin Jiu smiled slightly, "Do you know what information I just found out?"

"what?"

"Could it be related to this little guy?" Both the woman in purple and the figure in blood robes were curious.

“The sphere where this little guy is located has not been opened for more than one Holy Sea Era…” Jin Jiu said slowly.

A moment!

The woman in purple and the figure in blood-red robes both fell silent.

More than one Holy Sea Era?

They all knew how long this period of time was, long enough that even the mental will of any tenth-level quasi-saint would find it difficult to endure, and would eventually collapse and die.

"The Domain of Fallen Saints is special, and it has not been opened for so long... but it has suddenly opened again this time. Not long after it opened, this special little guy came..." Jin Jiu shook his head slightly.

He didn't continue.

The girl in purple and the figure in blood-red robes didn't press further; they both understood Jin Jiu's meaning.

"perhaps."

"What if we really meet again someday?" Jin Jiu said softly, his gaze falling on Li Yuan, who was quietly cultivating in the projected image.

……

While Li Yuan's true form was cultivating in the Dao Diagram Space, the five great true forms in the universe were also going all out to cultivate together.

His other two main battle bodies are accelerating forward and are gradually moving away from the universe.

"Hmm? The Heart Dream God Emperor sent a message, instructing my two main battle bodies to continue towards Demon Heart Lake?" Li Yuan finally received the message from the Heart Dream God Emperor.

After learning the secrets of this ancient ruin.

Li Yuan's plan was for his two main battle bodies to return to the universe so that he could devote himself to cultivation... Therefore, his avatar immediately went to see the Heart Dream God Emperor.

Although limited by the eternal oath, Li Yuan could not directly explain the secrets of the ancient ruins, but he could roughly explain that the ancient ruins contained an astonishing opportunity.

Logically, Li Yuan should prioritize his cultivation.

Contrary to her usual behavior, God Emperor Kexinmeng instead demanded that Li Yuan's main battle avatar arrive at Demon Heart Lake as soon as possible.

"Could it be that the God Emperor Xinmeng has sensed something?" Li Yuan wondered to himself. After pondering for a moment, he decided to follow the God Emperor Xinmeng's arrangements.

After all, the God Emperor Xinmeng has never made a mistake.

Moreover, the six true bodies are already fully engaged in comprehending the teachings; even if two more true bodies were added, it wouldn't cause any earth-shattering changes...

"Besides!"

"I shouldn't be able to linger at Demon Heart Lake for more than two thousand years. Once I leave Demon Heart Lake and return my main battle body to the universe, I can continue my secluded cultivation," Li Yuan thought to himself.

Whoosh!
Li Yuan's two true forms continued to fly at supersonic speeds, and then flew for nearly an hour.

"Ok?"

Li Yuan suddenly turned his head and, with his sensory abilities, instantly detected that several extremely powerful auras were emanating from the water not far away, and that they were rapidly approaching.

After a few seconds.

"Boom!" As if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, the water surged violently, and an enormous water palace appeared completely in Li Yuan's perception.

"A water palace? It's even larger than the water palace that Huoluo possessed before." Li Yuan's pupils shrank slightly. In just an instant, he sensed the aura of a large number of ancient spirits at the Emperor Realm.

Above that water palace.

There were also three ancient spirits with powerful auras, enormous bodies, and pitch-black eyes. At this moment, they were all staring at Li Yuan with extremely greedy eyes, as if they had encountered some supreme delicacy.

"Black Ancient Spirit?"

"Three heads? Their auras are no less than that of Huoluo, and two of them are even stronger." Li Yuan's heart sank.
