High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1168: Chapter 553 Entering the Ancient Domain

“This?” Liu Bing reached out to receive the Storage Treasure, which had yet to be refined and recognized as its master. With a sweep of her Divine Sense, she noticed the internal materials piled like mountains.

Particularly, the mountainous Green Crystal Stone brightened her eyes.

“Big brother, this?” Liu Bing looked at Li Yuan in disbelief, “These materials and treasures probably cost hundreds of billions of Heart Dream Coins.”

As a Nine Star True God, Liu Bing had cultivated two major Perfect Star Skills, but to rapidly advance, she needed a large amount of materials and treasures.

Though she acquired the Sky Blue God King’s inheritance, including some unique Secret Treasures, most could not be sold…

Just as the Jue Xing Divine Emperor instructed Li Yuan, regular cultivation resources also required Li Yuan’s own efforts to acquire.

Thus.

Though she became a True God for decades, the resources in Liu Bing’s hands only allowed her to cultivate “Fatian Xiangdi” and some other Nine Layer Star Techniques, Eighth Layer Star Techniques to the Sixth Rank.

The “Nine Heavens Feather,” on the other hand, had just crossed to the Fifth Rank level.

“Big brother, so many treasures, wouldn’t it affect you?” Liu Bing couldn’t help but say, “I can cultivate slower, it’s fine.”

“Don’t worry.”

“I can afford this wealth.” Li Yuan smiled, “Once you cultivate ’Nine Heavens Feather’ to the extreme of the Sixth Rank, you’ll have a clear perception of the Wind Law Origin, your movement technique and Escaping Technique will elevate a major level. Even ordinary Heavenly Gods will struggle to hunt you, and your ability to survive in dangerous areas will greatly improve, accelerating your ascent to Heavenly God.”

“Once you ascend to Heavenly God, you can return to Jue Xing Continent to receive all of Sky Blue God King’s treasures.” Li Yuan smiled.

Previously, Li Yuan and Liu Bing had communicated and were already aware of the Sky Blue God King’s inherited treasure.

Sky Blue God King’s treasure was divided into two parts.

The second part could only be obtained after Liu Bing became a Heavenly God, possessing sufficient self-protection.

“Yes, yes, big brother, I will work hard to comprehend the complete Wind Law as soon as possible.” Liu Bing nodded repeatedly.

Previously, had she cultivated ’Nine Heavens Feather’ to the extreme of the Sixth Rank, even facing True God Pigeon Hawk, she could have easily escaped.

“Let’s go.” Li Yuan said, as an invisible force was released, enveloping Liu Bing.

Buzz~

Li Yuan sensed the spatial coordinates of a distant place, and performed Void Shifting, and the two disappeared from the original spot.

…

With one Void Shifting.

Li Yuan and Liu Bing had arrived at the outskirts of Burial Immortal Ancient Domain.

Burial Immortal Ancient Domain was a strange location in the Northern Hill Mortal Domain, not far from the ’Dimensional Plane’ where the Seven Star Civilization was located.

Over ten thousand years ago.

The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain first appeared, its might displayed, causing the previous civilization of the Seven Star Civilization region to completely vanish, only to stabilize later.

“Big brother, look, that is the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain’s periphery.” Liu Bing pointed into the distance.

Li Yuan looked into the distance.

In the endless void, there were nine towering mountain peaks connected in a series, each peak stretching over a billion li, radiating brilliant light throughout.

Below the mountains, there were nine giant leaf-like structures resembling lotus petals, supporting the nine mountain peaks…

“These Nine Mountains Nine Leaves belong to the periphery, and only those below Divinity can enter, so people like us can’t explore it.” Liu Bing said.

“The strong figures descending from the Divine Realm go directly into the most core ancient domain.”

Li Yuan nodded slightly, now quite clear.

The Nine Mountains Nine Leaves is what the Eternal Hall uses to screen young talents, containing many small worlds inside. Those slightly skilled who pass focused tests may become Silver Garment Members, Golden Garment Members, and then head to the Divine Realm for training by the Divine Court… some with exceptional talent might even be teleported outside the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves, hoping to become Purple Garment Members.

Like on Jue Xing Continent, it is located outside the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves.

Such as Dongfang Ji and Fang Hai, their tests were conducted in the small worlds inside the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves.

The Ancient Domain!

Is targeted at Divinities.

“Some Pseudo-Gods, True Gods, if they gain something in the Ancient Domain, will also benefit.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “The depths of the Ancient Domain likely hide secrets.”

“According to Senior Meng, the Ancient Domain was left by the Eternal Divine Emperor, specifically as a trial land for me.” Li Yuan contemplated, “In any case, first endeavor to find Dongfang Alliance Leader, and then explore the secrets of the Ancient Domain.”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan and Liu Bing performed another Void Shifting, arriving at the edge of Nine Mountains Nine Leaves.

Here, invisible spatial power pervaded.

“Space Seal?” Li Yuan’s gaze swept around, even with his strength, unable to break the space seal here.

“Correct.”

“This is already the edge of the Ancient Domain, where it suppresses space and time, probably making it impossible for Heavenly Gods to use Void Shifting, forcing slow flight.” Liu Bing said, “Big brother, look, that is the Ancient Domain.”

Following Liu Bing’s pointing direction, in the starry sky, a gigantic white sphere, roughly ten thousand kilometers in diameter, hovered, with tendrils of dense black gas swirling around its surface.

“The Ancient Domain?” Li Yuan softly murmured to himself.

Though its diameter seemed merely ten thousand kilometers, Li Yuan understood it encompassed an extremely vast world.

“The Four Divine Court Forces, as well as surviving Divinities, are mostly still roaming within.” Liu Bing said, “I followed big brother’s instructions with extreme care, taking nearly three months to return from the core area.”

“True God Pigeon Hawk and True God Xia Hao likely won’t return soon.”

“Hmm.” Li Yuan nodded, “Let me take a look.”

Buzz~

A wave of invisible power instantaneously extended over a radius of ninety thousand kilometers of void, quickly manifesting numerous illusory scenes.

Among these illusory scenes, Liu Bing quickly appeared, along with some other figures.

The scenes rapidly changed.

Then appeared Dongfang Ji… along with countless Divinities, grouped into several factions, apparently belonging to different major forces, numbering likely in the tens of thousands, most of whom Li Yuan did not recognize.

However, there were two whom Li Yuan did recognize, Nie Hu True God and Zhuang Long Void God.

“The spatial window period of half a year ago only lasted about a day.”

“Nie Hu True God and Brother Zhuang Long, both actually came?” Li Yuan thought to himself, not too surprised.

This time’s spatial window period saw preparations from various major forces, with the number of Divinities descending far exceeding the event over ten thousand years ago.

These Divinity figures all entered the Ancient Domain and subsequently vanished.

“True God Pigeon Hawk and True God Xia Hao are still inside the Ancient Domain.” Li Yuan softly spoke.

He saw these Divinities entering.

The ones who came out were very few.

“Time Retrospection Technique? Big brother, you can actually look back to scenes from half a year ago?” Liu Bing was astonished.

The Time Retrospection Technique, even for powerful Heavenly Gods, being able to look back at scenes from one or two months ago was already impressive.

If disturbed, it becomes even harder to look back.

“For me,” Li Yuan smiled.

Being able to look back at scenes from so long ago, first, is because the Tenth Stage Mystery Li Yuan comprehended is the ’Space World’, which is most adept in domain, inquiry, world construction, etc.

Secondly, it’s due to the Perfect Star Skill ’Eye of Heavenly Mysterious’. This Perfect Star Skill, when cultivated to its peak, not only detects the immediate area but also looks back into the past, investigates the present, and predicts the future… Karma Line, Time Line, Destiny Line, all are within its scope of inquiry.

Though Li Yuan has only cultivated to the Fifth Rank extreme, combined with his realm, many techniques are enough to surpass numerous Heavenly God First Rank and Second Rank powerhouses.

“Little Ice.”

“You lead the way, first to the place where you separated from the Alliance Leader Dongfang,” Li Yuan said.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Both were extremely skilled in speed, not needing to exert full effort, with a flicker, they traversed tens of thousands of kilometers, quickly approaching the immense white light ball.

“Enter!”

Upon touching the surface of the light ball, Li Yuan and Liu Bing felt a suction force and were drawn into the Ancient Domain.

Time and space shifted.

“Splash~” Inside the Ancient Domain was a vast starry sky, where there were countless black water flows, like small rivers.

As soon as Liu Bing and Li Yuan arrived, they were met by a black river rushing towards them, and they were engulfed.

“Sizzle sizzle sizzle~”

These black rivers were extremely cold, instantly causing frost on the surface of Li Yuan and Liu Bing, as if trying to freeze them completely.

“Crack~” But both of them had Divine Bodies at True God level, and with the surge of Divine Power, they dispersed the river.

It transformed into many smaller black rivers, drifting further away.

“Such fierce river water,” Li Yuan frowned.

This black river had no effect on True Gods, but if a Pseudo-God were to venture in and get trapped, even a Pseudo-God Peak would be in danger of perishing.

As Li Yuan looked around.

In the endless dark starry sky, countless black rivers drifted.

“Big brother, this is one of the three common dangers within the Ancient Domain, ’Black Water’,” Liu Bing said.

Li Yuan nodded uncontrollably.

The Ancient Domain is like a vast starry sky world, where the so-called three common dangers are Black Water, Space Vortex, and Invisible Wind.

Black Water drifts in the starry sky, and unless you’re extremely unlucky to encounter it upon arrival, you can avoid it with caution.

But Space Vortex and Invisible Wind could appear at any time, hard to defend against.

Many Pseudo-Gods and even True Gods who ventured into the Ancient Domain perished quietly under these two great dangers.

“Big brother, it’s still impossible to teleport within the Ancient Domain, and even the Divine Sense will be suppressed. How far can you probe?” Liu Bing said, “I can only clearly sense a radius of over ten thousand kilometers.”

Liu Bing’s strength had reached the threshold of Heavenly Divine Gate, and in a normal starry sky, he could clearly sense over a million kilometers at a thought, with the vaguely perceptible space range reaching a billion kilometers.

“The area I can completely control is roughly 180,000 kilometers,” Li Yuan said softly, “And the area I can vaguely probe is about three million kilometers.”

Buzz~

In the vast void, in the view beyond Liu Bing’s perception, a few star phantoms appeared, a manifestation of the Perfect Star Skill ’River of Ten Thousand Stars’.

Li Yuan’s eyes glimmered with a mysterious light.

The ’River of Ten Thousand Stars’ working in conjunction with the ’Eye of Heavenly Mysterious’, is incredibly effective in perception and investigation.

Yet Li Yuan had only cultivated to the Fifth Rank extreme.

If he reached the Sixth Rank extreme, it would be even more terrifying.

This is the might of Perfect Star Skills! Even auxiliary ones possess some incredible might.

As powerful as the Divine Kings, many of them have developed their own Daos and created many terrifying secret techniques, but they’re still not as potent as a Perfect Star Skill cultivated to perfection.

“Probing so far?” Liu Bing was surprised and couldn’t help but say, “Big brother, are you truly only at the Void God Realm?”

“Yes,” Li Yuan smiled.

“Good! Very good! With such a far range, we can easily avoid many dangers and detect some treasures in advance,” Liu Bing said excitedly, “In this way, we might reach the place of separation with Senior Dongfang in just a few hours.”

Splash~ Splash~

With the reflection of the River of Ten Thousand Stars, combined with Li Yuan’s probing, Li Yuan and Liu Bing easily traversed the Ancient Domain’s starry sky.

Li Yuan was also very cautious, according to the intelligence previously explored by Qiu Bingzun, Ancient Flame True God, and Liu Bing.

Many of the dangers within the Ancient Domain, even a True God Peak powerhouse encountering them, would die instantly… likely able to threaten Heavenly Gods.

“Regarding the Ancient Domain, even the True Gods who have historically descended know very little.”

“As a trial left by the Heart Dream God Emperor, it must not be simple,” Li Yuan internally mused.

The vast starry sky of the Ancient Domain seemed normal, yet as Li Yuan continued forward, he realized the entire starry sky was distorted.

When far apart, what the eyes see cannot be trusted.

“Even the Eye of Heavenly Mysterious can’t see too far,” Li Yuan thought to himself.

Hoo!

Li Yuan kept probing intensely and continued for half an hour.

Already catching up to the distance Liu Bing had traversed in several days, gradually delving into the depths of the Ancient Domain.

Rumble~ Spatial vibrations.

“What’s that?” Li Yuan suddenly sensed through the River of Ten Thousand Stars, ahead was a gigantic star, approximately six hundred thousand kilometers in diameter, moving over slowly but steadily.

“Is it a treasure star?” Li Yuan’s eyes brightened slightly.

In the Ancient Domain, filled with peril, why do powerhouses still venture in? It’s because of the numerous stars and Star Sky Mountain Ranges.

Any star or Star Sky Mountain Range might contain vast treasures, rare ores, Spirit Tree Divine Grass, Divine Artifacts, and so on.

“Rumble~”

Waves of powerful fluctuations were being transmitted from the star, as if strong figures were battling intensely.
