High-Level Martial Era

"Plus, the Divine Emperors are unwilling for the Divine Realm to constantly clash... Thus, we have the current agreement that any territory that has given birth to a God King belongs to the Permanent Territory of the various Divine Courts."

Everything was explained clearly.

"Senior Brother, is the Illusion Heart God King still alive?" Li Yuan suddenly thought of it.

Dong Mang God King froze for a moment, then revealed a slight smile: "Yes, alive."

"Indeed, not too long ago, I mentioned you to him in the Immortal Heaven and Earth."

Li Yuan widened his eyes.

Immortal Heaven and Earth?

What do you mean?

...

"These reclusive God Kings cannot appear in the regular cosmos starry sky." Dong Mang God King slowly explained: "But the Eternal Relics are exceptions... Why are the Eternal Relics recognized by us as 'Eternal Relics'?"

"It is precisely because the operating rules of 16 places are fundamentally different from those of the regular cosmos."

"Except for the legendary Eternal Realm, we can't fathom who could create such miraculous places." Dong Mang God King sighed.

Li Yuan listened closely.

Previously, exchanging with Little Tomb gave Li Yuan some understanding of the Eternal Relics.

"For example, the most famous and the one gathering the most powerful beings, Immortal Heaven and Earth."

"Do you know why it is called Immortal Heaven and Earth?" Dong Mang God King asked.

Li Yuan shook his head.

"Because of 'Immortal Material.'

"Inside the Immortal Heaven and Earth, the rules are extremely unique, almost impossible for Path Breaking cultivation, Wandao doesn't exist, all laws are extremely vague... But it contains 'Immortal Material,' providing any outsiders the ability to survive there long-term." Dong Mang God King said, "Many reclusive God Kings living for hundreds of millions of years in Immortal Heaven and Earth is quite normal."

"Being in the Immortal Heaven and Earth, one won't be sensed by the Time River."

"Hundreds of millions of years?" Li Yuan was astonished.

"Yes."

"But for hundreds of millions of years, strength scarcely advances; time seems almost halted there." Dong Mang God King shook his head, "However, at least one can continue to live, holding onto a single ray of hope."

"Besides, Immortal Heaven and Earth continuously creates many exotic treasures that can strengthen one's power."

"This results in all the eighty-one Dark Regions across the cosmos, those reclusive Eighth Rank strong ones, nearly all heading to Immortal Heaven and Earth..." Dong Mang God King sighed, "Like the reclusive God Kings of our Chaos Divine Court, all with avatars nearly always reside in the Immortal Heaven and Earth."

"All there?" Li Yuan held his breath.

This is just the force of one faction, Chaos Divine Court... Considering the entire cosmos, combining the eighty-one Dark Regions, how many reclusive Eighth Rank strong ones would there be?

Just thinking about it is a terrifying number.

At this moment, Li Yuan finally understood why Little Tomb said he must have the 'Two-step God King' strength to go there... Without even this level of strength, going would mean being cannon fodder.

"Senior Brother, as long as one is Eighth Rank, one can go there?" Li Yuan asked.

"Yes!"

"But ordinary Eighth Rank members are just the lower level; Path Breaking strong ones hold slightly higher status, with a large batch being God King Peak." Dong Mang God King remarked, "Furthermore, there are quite a few ancient invincible God Kings."

"There, you can see God Kings of various eras throughout time."

Li Yuan listened.

It seems that Immortal Heaven and Earth is indeed a gathering place for powerhouses in large numbers.

"So, my current strength is just at the bottom there?" Li Yuan asked.

"You can say that."

"But Junior Brother, that's only for now."

"Although there are many strong ones in Immortal Heaven and Earth, ninety-nine percent are merely 'surviving' there, just a step away from death, frightened to enter the regular cosmos." Dong Mang God King shook his head, "In the future, you can dispatch a true body, go there for battle, tempering, and treasure hunting... while another true body comprehends enlightenment and cultivates in the regular cosmos."

"Contemporary strong ones have infinite potential."

"Have endless possibilities." Dong Mang God King sighed, "The future belongs to you."

...

Through exchange with Dong Mang God King, Li Yuan gained an even deeper understanding of Immortal Heaven and Earth, Long River Ruins, and various Eternal Relics, massively broadening his horizons.

"Junior Brother."

"There is another matter, you've been Star Domain Master for some time, yet the God King from Abyss Divine Court still gathers outside Beichen Star." Dong Mang God King said, "It seems even if they know they can't completely kill you, they still prepare to take action."

"To kill my avatar?" Li Yuan felt puzzled.

In Li Yuan's view... once he became Star Domain Master, Abyss Divine Court should know the difficulty and withdraw.

Are they still planning to take action?

"You can rest assured."

"I have already greeted the Black Stone God King and Hun Hai God King, if Abyss Divine Court still wants war, our Chaos Divine Court will accompany." Dong Mang God King solemnly said, "I will definitely ensure your true body on Beichen Star will remain secure."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." Li Yuan expressed gratitude.

...

After severing ties with Dong Mang God King, Li Yuan went to Wanfa Palace and exchanged for a lot of treasures.

...

On Beichen Star.

Li Yuan's retreat location.

Swoosh~ A beam of light flew out, surprisingly it was a little chubby fellow in a gray robe.

"That Abyss Divine Court actually still wants to act? They are seeking death." Little Tomb huffed and puffed: "Surely it is the Abyss Divine Emperor… this idiot, probably guessed something, so he wants to probe you."

"He might even want to rob you of a treasure." Little Tomb said.

Li Yuan understood.

Becoming the Star Domain Master, it's hopeless to kill him… but just extinguishing his true body could yield many treasures.

"What about us?" Li Yuan asked.

"Don't be impatient." Little Tomb grinned, revealing little tiger teeth: "If it were elsewhere, I wouldn't be confident about blocking so many Path Breaking Eighth Rank… but on Beichen Star? Hmph! Dozens of Divine Kings? As long as you listen to me, follow my plan, and with the cooperation of the Chaos Divine Court experts, I guarantee the Abyss Divine Court will suffer a big loss."

"Maybe, we might even kill a few of their Divine Kings."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Come."

"First continue training the four major absolute skills. Once you've comprehended the first move of each, we'll enter the Inner Domain."

"To achieve the goal, the key is still your strength." Little Tomb urged: "Now that you've comprehended the Eight Great Laws, just mastering the first move of these skills should be very fast."

...

In the blink of an eye, over sixty years have passed during Li Yuan's concealed cultivation.

Suddenly, one day.

Whoosh!

A blue-clothed youth chewing on a wild grass flew out from afar, quickly arriving near Li Yuan's retreat site.

"Isn't Little Junior Brother cultivating in this area?" Sui Huan Divine Monarch's gaze swept over all directions but couldn't sense Li Yuan's presence.

"Senior Brother, this way." A voice with laughter sounded.

Swoosh!

Sui Huan Divine Monarch then perceived, quickly transforming into a beam of light and arriving in the valley more than ten thousand kilometers away.

"Little Junior Brother, your concealment techniques are truly incredible, worthy of the God King Realm." Sui Huan Divine Monarch sighed.

More than ten thousand kilometers, so close at this level?

Yet in his previous perception, this valley clearly had no signs of life.

"Senior Brother overpraises." Li Yuan smiled.

"Little Junior Brother, why have you summoned me?" Sui Huan Divine Monarch asked with a slight feeling of doubt.

In theory, the era's disconnect has ended long ago, with no further danger on Beichen Star, the two didn't need to meet deliberately.

Moreover, Sui Huan Divine Monarch knew that currently, his strength and status were far inferior to Li Yuan.

Being able to communicate openly like this was due to their excellent relationship and Sui Huan Divine Monarch's free-spirited nature.

"Senior Brother."

"I will soon set off for the Inner Domain." Li Yuan smiled: "So, before I leave, I thought of giving Senior Brother a gift."

"A gift?" Sui Huan Divine Monarch was first stunned, then revealed a smile: "Little Junior Brother, if you give me something, I won't be courteous."

Li Yuan waved his hand, and numerous auxiliary cultivation treasures appeared beside him, a total of six items, one of which was the 'Qing Yun Dao True Fruit' that Li Yuan had used.

These six items were carefully selected by Li Yuan, and their effects were extraordinary.

But Sui Huan Divine Monarch's smile froze, staring at one crystal stone that shimmered with five elements light, he said in disbelief: "Five Realms Void Stone?"

As for other treasures, Sui Huan Divine Monarch had acquired many auxiliary cultivation treasures.

But a Five Realms Void Stone?

"Where did you get a Five Realms Void Stone?" Sui Huan Divine Monarch couldn't help but ask.

If a Five Realms Void Stone appeared in the world, others would surely know.

"Senior Brother doesn't need to ask, just take it." Li Yuan said: "Hopefully, it can help Senior Brother break through the bottleneck… and comprehend the Space Law."

Little Tomb had given three Five Realms Void Stones.

Li Yuan used up two… leaving only one, which was already of little use to him.

Li Yuan actually considered leaving it for Liu Bing or Dongfang Ji, but both have only cultivated for over a thousand years, and the limit of their lifespan is far off.

Moreover, their law comprehension is low, and they are very far from the Divine Monarch level, not in a hurry to use such top-tier treasures as the 'Five Realms Void Stone.'

As for Sui Huan Divine Monarch, he's over twenty thousand years old, only one step away from the God King Realm.

Li Yuan worried that without giving it this time, it would become a lifelong regret…

As for Dongfang Ji, Liu Bing in his plans, as long as given ten thousand or even several thousand years, they might be able to exchange similar auxiliary enlightenment treasures from other Dark Domain experts.
