Chapter 966: Chapter 488: Is Chi Yan Still Alive? Eight Years Passing (6K for Monthly Pass)

Lie Qing True God originally believed Li Yuan and Fang Hai were unwilling to join the Chaos Divine Court.

Who could have expected that the two were already part of the core membership?

Especially since what Li Yuan revealed was a Purple Garment Token!

Indeed, Lie Qing True God considered Li Yuan to possess the strength of a Purple-Robed Demigod, but having such ability and actually achieving that status were entirely different matters.

"It’s unlikely."

"If Li Yuan were a Purple-Robed Demigod, news should have already reached the Mohe Branch. The entire Divine Court Headquarters probably has no more than a few dozen Purple-Robed Demigods." Lie Qing True God’s mind raced with countless thoughts.

At the Mohe Branch of the Chaos Divine Court, it takes an average of tens of thousands of years to produce a single Purple-Robed Demigod.

If one emerged, they would surely be treated with the utmost importance.

"Moreover..."

"Li Yuan’s strength is indeed formidable, but he has always remained in the Mortal Domain. How did he become a Purple-Robed Demigod?" Lie Qing True God pondered endlessly: "And Fang Hai, does he also have a Silver Garment Token?"

To achieve the status of Silver Garment Semi-Divine, one must at least belong to the core-tier Demigods at the Mohe Branch.

"The space window has not yet opened; it’s impossible for them to have entered the Divine Realm..." Lie Qing True God swiftly eliminated several possibilities.

Suddenly, an idea struck him.

"Is it the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain?" Lie Qing True God’s gaze locked onto Li Yuan and Fang Hai, and he couldn’t help but say, "Within the outskirts of the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain’s ’Nine Mountains Nine Leaves,’ is there a way to become core members of the Chaos Divine Court?"

This was the only plausible explanation Lie Qing True God could come up with.

The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain was profoundly enigmatic. Lie Qing True God had personally experienced the Divine War there a millennium ago and was well aware of its mysteries.

"Lie Qing Senior, your insight is indeed remarkable." Li Yuan said with a faint smile.

Though Li Yuan didn’t explicitly confirm it, the implication in his words was already an acknowledgment.

"So you’re saying Dongfang Ji also became a Golden Garment Member in the Nine Mountains Nine Leaves before heading to the Divine Realm?" Lie Qing True God speculated further.

He had been slightly puzzled before.

Normally, even if someone is exceptionally talented—such as Dongfang Ji, a genius from the Mortal Domain—they would need to pass many trials to become a core member of the Divine Court.

How could he have risen so quickly?

Now it all became clear to him.

"Senior, regarding my teacher, we truly don’t know much." Fang Hai said with a smile, "Shall we discuss the current situation instead?"

Although Lie Qing True God was also a member of the Chaos Divine Court, Fang Hai didn’t trust him completely.

Even within the Divine Court, powerhouses often engaged in deadly rivalries.

Especially since both parties were situated in the same Mortal Domain, which naturally added a layer of hostility.

"Haha, alright, I won’t press further. Let’s talk about the present," Lie Qing True God chuckled. "Since you two are already core members of the Chaos Divine Court, especially you, Li Yuan, being a Purple-Robed Demigod, then many matters will be smoother to discuss."

"Senior, please speak." Li Yuan replied.

"No need to call me ’Senior.’ You are a Purple Garment Member, so I should address you as Divine Son instead." Lie Qing True God said with a smile.

"Divine Son?" Fang Hai asked curiously from the side.

"You don’t know?" Lie Qing True God replied, confused.

Fang Hai shook his head, and Li Yuan did the same.

Although Li Yuan had studied numerous materials left behind by Qiu Bingzun and Gu Ju, the information regarding the Chaos Divine Court was sparse.

Even though he had visited the Divine Emperor Island, Senior Xing had never mentioned detailed data about the Chaos Divine Court.

Thus, there were indeed many things the two were unaware of regarding the hidden aspects of the Divine Court.

"It seems I wasn’t mistaken."

"You two must have earned your status in one of the Divine Court’s external test sites," Lie Qing True God said, "Considering this, the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain must be under the manipulation of a terrifying presence within our Chaos Divine Court."

"Yet, until now, I was entirely unaware," Lie Qing True God sighed. "Even the higher-ups at the Mohe Branch seem uninformed."

Li Yuan listened without much surprise.

The Divine Realm was unfathomably vast. According to the information he had, each Star Domain governed thousands to tens of thousands of Mortal Domains.

Across the entire Divine Realm, which had evolved and expanded through countless eras, over ten thousand Star Domains had been formed.

In other words, the Mortal Domain alone numbered in the hundreds of millions.

And what about the Burial Immortal Ancient Domains? To date, there were merely "thirty-six" of them.

They were gradually established over countless ages.

What became of the previous thirty-five Burial Immortal Ancient Domains? Whether they still operated was a mystery.

It was entirely normal for them to remain unknown.

When it comes to the plans of the Age God Emperor, not even the Heavenly Divines of the Divine Court Headquarters might be aware.

"Senior, the Burial Immortal Ancient Domain is indeed mysterious, but we didn’t enter the Ancient Domain. You don’t need to fish for information from us," Li Yuan said with a smile.

The Burial Immortal Ancient Domain was divided into two main regions: the Ancient Domain and Nine Mountains Nine Leaves.

Nine Mountains Nine Leaves could only be explored by those below the level of deities.

This was why the Seven Star Civilization referred to the Star Realms leading to Nine Mountains Nine Leaves as the "Nine Leaves Star Realm" and "Nine Mountains Star Realm."

A millennium ago during the Divine War, the gods had all ventured into the "Ancient Domain."

"Very well." Lie Qing True God said, "It’s said that in the Chaos Divine Court Headquarters, Golden Robed Semi-Divines and Purple Robed Semi-Divines, such extraordinary geniuses, reside on ’Source Fire Stars,’ with Purple Robed Semi-Divines being the most revered. They are even referred to as ’Purple Garment Divine Sons.’

"I’ve only heard of this. After all, I’ve never encountered a living Purple Garment Divine Son before," Lie Qing True God laughed. "So, Li Yuan, don’t address me as ’Senior.’

"Call me Lie Qing or Lie Qing True God—that will suffice."

"Alright." Li Yuan didn’t force the matter.

The more powerful an organization, the stricter its internal hierarchy and the greater attention it paid to designations.

"Li Yuan, Fang Hai, I hope our two civilizations can form an alliance," Lie Qing True God added, "A genuine alliance."

"Alliance?" Li Yuan and Fang Hai exchanged a glance.

Civilization alliances weren’t uncommon in the Mortal Domain.

However, most were superficial and insincere.

Those capable of mutual trust were rare.

"Lie Qing Senior, while we’re all part of the Chaos Divine Court, we weren’t acquainted before," Fang Hai said. "Forming an alliance must benefit both sides."
