Chapter 965: Chapter 487: Senior, this is my token.
Boom! Boom! Two streaks of radiance cut through the thick earth layers, charging deeper into the ground with tireless momentum.
Soil, rock, fluid, magma... After delving over ten thousand kilometers below the surface, Li Yuan and Fang Hai finally arrived in an enigmatic space hidden within the darkness.
"Can you sense what’s ahead?" Fang Hai asked in a hushed voice.
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded, as an intangible force repelled the chaotic matter in all directions, keeping all distractions away from the pair.
Li Yuan’s Divine Sense could detect the colossal vortex ahead, ring after ring of swirling forces, tearing apart anything daring to come close.
This was a might powerful enough to threaten a Demigod.
"So this is the Plane Passage?"
"With such power, it stirs space itself." Li Yuan murmured softly, "Who would have imagined that the depths of Feixing would reveal such a sight? Logically, a vortex of this magnitude should be capable of shredding an entire planet, yet the Plane’s Origin instead protects Feixing."
"It’s truly difficult to fathom. Nature’s order operates with intrinsic wonder." Fang Hai nodded, "Passing through this Plane Passage will lead us directly to the Starry Sky Space Rift."
"Only those with Demigod-level strength can normally traverse a Plane Passage," Fang Hai added.
Li Yuan nodded lightly.
To leave a Dimensional Plane, there are four routes: The first is to follow the Plane Passage, typically located at the Plane’s core, offering the speediest exit.
The second involves flying continuously toward the Plane’s edge, eventually passing through the boundary’s Starry Sky membrane to escape, though this is the slowest.
The third way is through advanced Star Realms.
The fourth method is sensing the Plane’s Origin and utilizing weak spatial points in the Plane, allowing for rapid departure, though this generally requires a Void God Realm level.
"Principal, we don’t need to meet in person; if the Law Projection descends, we can interact with Lie Qing anyhow." Li Yuan proposed, "We should exercise caution."
"Alright." Fang Hai nodded.
Without hesitation, the two plunged into the vortex.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The swirling vortex of the Plane Passage brimmed with astonishing force, but it posed no threat to the pair.
Occasionally visible rifts in space could be spotted, yet these cracks were shielded by invisible forces.
"As native life forms of the Plane, we are protected by the Origin. These spatial rifts won’t affect us," Fang Hai explained in a deep voice. "For outsiders attempting entry, these rifts become fatal threats due to their rejection."
"Even True Gods cannot force their way in," Li Yuan said softly. "The Dimensional Plane serves as a cradle of life, shielding us."
The stronger the being attempting entry, the greater the rejection. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
Unless—one’s might overwhelms the repulsion threshold set by the Plane’s Origin.
"Heavenly Divine!"
"With the power of a Heavenly Divine, suppressing the Plane’s Origin becomes trivial, granting easy entry anywhere," Li Yuan mused inwardly, "Even hiding within one’s home Plane would be futile."
Thus, when a Mortal Domain births a Heavenly Divine, unification becomes readily achievable.
Fang Hai and Li Yuan moved forward steadily through the passage for quite some time.
"We’re nearing the exit," Li Yuan suddenly halted, speaking softly, "Furthermore, I’ve already sensed the presence of that Lie Qing True God."
"You’ve sensed him?" Fang Hai exclaimed.
Despite being vastly distant, Fang Hai could scarcely perceive the exit’s location. As for anything beyond the exit? It remained a blurry mystery.
The pair advanced a bit further, reaching the edge of the passage’s exit, where hints of the dazzling starry sky beyond the vortex could be discerned with their naked eyes.
And there, the numerous ’Starry Sky Wormholes.’
"Passing through these Starry Sky Wormholes enables swift arrival at various Mortal Domain locations," Fang Hai said with a smile. "Otherwise, relying purely on flight would take tens or even hundreds of thousands of years to traverse the Mortal Domain."
Li Yuan’s gaze fell upon the Starry Sky Wormholes.
Hundreds of wormholes, some large, some small, each subtly distorting the fabric of space, emanating an aura of mystique.
These wormholes were a product of Nature’s order, formed naturally through the cosmos.
Indeed, the abundance of wormholes facilitated communication between countless Plane civilizations.
"Lie Qing True God is over there." Li Yuan’s gaze focused thousands of kilometers away.
A towering figure, nearly a hundred meters tall, was seated cross-legged in the void.
"I can sense him too. He’s not concealing his presence." Fang Hai said in a low voice.
...
In the starry expanse.
"Staying near these Plane Passages feels so oppressive." Lie Qing True God muttered helplessly, aware of the overwhelming repulsion forces pressing against him from all sides.
Fighting here would severely diminish his true capabilities.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" Lie Qing True God turned sharply, gazing at the nearby area where two faint Law forces had been stirred.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two phantoms stepped across the starry sky, arriving before him in an instant.
This was the subtle efficacy of the Eighth Stage ’Law Will.’
Within a radius of ten thousand kilometers, a single thought could manifest ’Law Projections.’ Naturally, these were mere projections with feeble strength, barely capable of reaching Flying Heaven Realm levels.
However, as Law Projections, they had a unique advantage: material attacks found them difficult to obliterate.
"Li Yuan? Fang Hai?" Lie Qing True God smiled at the two phantoms before him.
"Senior Lie Qing." Fang Hai greeted with a cupped-hand salute.
"Senior Lie Qing." Li Yuan’s demeanor was far more casual.
"Please, sit." Lie Qing True God smiled, waving his hand to summon two Jade Platforms before them.
Li Yuan and Fang Hai were unreserved, for even their projections represented their stature, and they sat down directly.
"Li Yuan, my young friend, annihilating the Myriad Demons Civilization in one battle—remarkable indeed," Lie Qing True God said with admiration. "I’ve already seen the combat images; your strength likely rivals the Pseudo-God Limit."
"For a Demigod to possess Pseudo-God Limit power, even in the far-reaching Divine Realm, you’d be considered a top-tier prodigy." Lie Qing True God sighed.
"Your words are too kind, senior." Li Yuan chuckled, "Compared to you, I am not worth mentioning."
"For you to cultivate into a True God within the Mortal Domain is an achievement we greatly admire as well," Li Yuan noted.
"It was different." Lie Qing True God shook his head, "Back then, I ventured and fought in the Divine Realm, barely achieving True God status by chance."
"You’ve been to the Divine Realm?" Li Yuan’s eyes gleamed.
The Mortal Domain and Divine Realm typically only connect once every ten thousand years... Which meant this man had been a True God for over ten thousand years?
"Yes."
"Were it not so, how else would I have joined the Chaos Divine Court and obtained the Golden Garment Token? With the Golden Garment Token, I could communicate with the upper echelon of the Mohe Branch within the Chaos Divine Court." Lie Qing True God smiled. "Otherwise, staying in the Mortal Domain, how would I have come to know Dongfang Ji’s whereabouts?"
"You claim to know my teacher’s whereabouts?" Dongfang Ji pressed further.
"Indeed."
Lie Qing True God said, "As far as I know, Dongfang Ji is already a Golden Garment Semi-Divine within the Chaos Divine Court."
"In the Chaos Divine Court, typically only True Gods qualify to obtain the ’Golden Garment Token.’ For Dongfang Ji, even as a Golden Garment Semi-Divine, his status equates to that of a True God." Lie Qing True God said with seriousness, "And that was information from more than ten years ago. By now, Dongfang Ji may well have advanced to become a Purple Garment Semi-Divine."
"A Purple Garment Semi-Divine commands such high status that it rivals True God Limit Experts." Lie Qing True God remarked.
"I received the information after reporting news of Li Yuan. Through interactions with an Inspector, I discovered Dongfang Ji’s truth." Lie Qing True God stated.
Li Yuan and Fang Hai exchanged a glance, their trust in his words increasing by eighty percent.
Their knowledge of Dongfang Ji’s status as a Golden Garment Semi-Divine within Chaos Divine Court was a secret known only to the two of them.
Even Lant was unaware.
Yet, Lie Qing True God revealed this effortlessly.
"Senior Lie Qing, your earlier transmission—was it an invitation for us to join the Chaos Divine Court?" Li Yuan inquired.
"Indeed."
"Dongfang Ji being a Golden Garment Semi-Divine confirms your credibility," Lie Qing True God smiled. "With your strength, Li Yuan, joining the Court, and entering the Divine Realm, you could rapidly advance to become a Purple Garment Semi-Divine after passing certain assessments."
"As for Fang Hai, your cultivation time being under a century, if you join, achieving Golden Garment Semi-Divine status is highly feasible." Lie Qing True God stated.
His words held truth.
Though Fang Hai lacked the extraordinary talent of Li Yuan and Dongfang Ji, he was still comparable to the ’Semi-Divine Saint Heirs’ of Jue Xing Continent.
It was only due to constraints surrounding his cultivation time and external circumstances that he hadn’t shone equally brightly.
"Senior."
"We cannot entirely believe your words. Dongfang Alliance Leader has indeed ventured into the Divine Realm, and an enemy faction may know of his whereabouts as well." Li Yuan smiled. "If you want to earn our trust, you must first make a Law Oath."
"Additionally, as a Golden Garment True God, you should possess a Golden Garment Token." Li Yuan continued, "We need to verify it."
Li Yuan’s intelligence informed him:
The Golden Garment Token and Purple Garment Token bound intrinsically to their owner’s soul would shatter upon their death.
Fabrication was nearly impossible.
"Making a Law Oath is not difficult." Lie Qing True God’s eyes flashed with traces of doubt, "But even if I present the Golden Garment Token, could you truly authenticate it?"
"We have our ways." Li Yuan smiled. "It only depends on whether senior is willing."
"Very well."
"I can make a Law Oath proving my statements are genuine." Lie Qing True God nodded.
Without delay, he made the oath.
An overwhelming wave of Law Fluctuation descended, increasing Fang Hai and Li Yuan’s conviction, though not entirely convincing them.
After all, a Law Oath was merely a form of constraint. While it impacted cultivation, certain entities like Pseudo-Gods or True Gods facing perpetual stagnation cared little for such oaths...
"Whoosh!"
Lie Qing True God flipped his palm, producing a golden token. The token’s front bore intricate carvings of swirling currents, among which resided an imposing star.
Its back depicted a golden mountain’s silhouette.
The token exuded a primordial and age-old aura.
"It’s the Golden Garment Token." Fang Hai and Li Yuan both affirmed simultaneously.
Li Yuan had glimpsed Liu Bing’s Golden Garment Token, and Fang Hai had seen Dongfang Ji’s; this token mirrored them identically.
"Senior Lie Qing, you may put the token away." Li Yuan grinned. "We believe you now."
"Good."
Lie Qing True God smiled, "Will you now consider joining the Chaos Divine Court?"
"We cannot join." Li Yuan shook his head.
"Why not? Are you toying with me?" Lie Qing True God’s eyes glimmered with faint anger. He felt his stance had been more than accommodating.
Presenting tokens, making Law Oaths—the effort was considerable.
Not to mention that powerful figures generally disliked making Law Oaths.
"Senior, please calm down."
Li Yuan smiled, "It’s not that we are unwilling to join. Rather, we are already members of the Chaos Divine Court. Senior, kindly wait one moment."
Lie Qing True God’s mind blanked.
Mere seconds later.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Two radiant streaks pierced the starry sky as Li Yuan and Fang Hai’s true bodies approached. The two Law projections seated on the Jade Platforms dissipated concurrently.
"Senior Lie Qing, here, take a look." Fang Hai flipped his palm, revealing a silver token in his grasp.
"A Silver Garment member?" Lie Qing True God’s eyes flickered with astonishment.
"Senior, this is my Identity Token." Li Yuan turned his hand, revealing a faintly purple token.
The pale purple token emanated an aura of nobility, resembling a masterpiece of divine craftsmanship.
"Hmm? A Purple Garment Token? How is this possible!!" Lie Qing True God’s eyes widened in shock, his thoughts an ocean of turbulent waves.
