Chapter 1274: Chapter 589: The Emergence of the Treasure! Exposed
After capturing the Green Demon Heavenly God in one fell swoop, Li Yuan did not hesitate to begin his escape.
He merged into the void, minimizing the spatial disturbances caused by his flight.
As for the fluctuations caused by the recent battle? Under Li Yuan’s control of the Seven-colored Realm Sea, the transmitted fluctuations were also very weak.
In short, unless a Heavenly God happened to pass through this area, a normal True God would likely not sense it.
“Everything is going according to plan, very smoothly.”
“Lure out the Green Demon and capture it directly.”
“Instant attack and kill, I formed a Heaven and Earth in the Palm seal, supplemented by a soul attack… the Green Demon Heavenly God’s call for help should have failed.” Various thoughts flashed through Li Yuan’s mind: “Since he is not dead, it should not immediately alert other strong figures of the Wandao Divine Court.”
“However, I cannot use Void Shifting.”
Once I perform Void Shifting, I could indeed leave the Ice Water Creek instantly… After all, the entire Ice Water Creek only covers an area of a few light-years, but conversely, such a small region is guarded by more than ten Heavenly Gods, along with numerous sealing formations.
The spatial fluctuations of Void Shifting are astonishing and will definitely be detected by other Heavenly Gods.
Then, as long as they have the intent, I would be exposed!
So, I have to fly slowly.
Once I fly out of Ice Water Creek, Li Yuan can then use Void Shifting without being tracked down.
“During this time, there are two huge risk points,” Li Yuan thought to himself. “First, if other Heavenly Gods send messages to the Green Demon Heavenly God, and they get no response, they will definitely come to inquire.”
“Second, it’s the large number of True Gods under the command of the Green Demon Heavenly God… If during this time they report the situation and get no response, they might also send messages to other Heavenly Gods.”
Although the large number of True Gods take orders from the Green Demon Heavenly God, they surely have contact information with other Heavenly Gods as well.
In short!
No matter how careful Li Yuan is, there is still a risk of exposure… After all, this is within the territory of the Wandao Divine Court, which is the opponent’s stronghold.
“Bet on it!”
“Bet that in these ten-plus days it takes me to fly out of Ice Water Creek, no one notices the Green Demon Heavenly God is missing.” Li Yuan’s eyes were cold, and there was a trace of resolve in his heart: “If it really comes to the worst-case scenario, then fight with all my strength to carve out a path to survival.”
In fact, the reason Li Yuan was so eager to slay the Green Demon Heavenly God,
was mainly due to the influence of causality in the unseen.
Numerous promises made when he was weak, if not fulfilled once he has sufficient strength, will gradually affect cultivation and even impact Li Yuan’s mind.
The path of a strong person is to make one’s thoughts clear and have no regrets.
Just like the promise to Qiu Bingzun, the agreement with Jiang Yuan Heavenly God, the promise to Lie Feng Semi Divine… Li Yuan has fulfilled them one by one.
And also, back when he was in the Heavenly Snake Mothership, Li Yuan had apprenticed under Qiu Bingzun’s subordinate, the Wind System alien god ’West God’, becoming its inner sect disciple, and there was also a promise.
Therefore, after the battle on East Pole Star, Li Yuan ordered the Xia Feng Heavenly God to go to ’Frost Wind Star’, which had actually been extinguished and replaced by another race.
But under Li Yuan’s order, Xia Feng Heavenly God still sought out many descendants of the West God’s clan to help them rebuild the tribe. Over the decades, with Xia Feng Heavenly God’s assistance, several demigods have been born on the planet… allowing the planet to gain some self-protective power.
This also counts as Li Yuan fulfilling his promise to the West God.
“The causality of Master Gu Ju affects me greatly, far beyond what the West God can compare; if I do not complete it, it will trouble me in ascending to Heavenly God.” Li Yuan sighed deeply.
In short!
Fulfilling past promises is, in a sense, sorting out causality and reducing its impact on one’s own cultivation.
Whoosh!
Silently, Li Yuan kept flying towards the outside of Ice Water Creek.
…
Inside one of Li Yuan’s Heavenly God-level Cave Heaven Treasures.
The interior is vast, spanning over a hundred thousand kilometers.
The Ancient Divine Palace hovered in the void, and the phantom of a white-clothed maiden sat quietly on the square outside the palace.
“Will it work?” A hint of worry crossed Gu You’s mind.
She knew there was some risk in this mission, but she also longed to avenge her father.
Suddenly.
Invisible fluctuations swept past, quickly forming Li Yuan’s phantom. In his palm was a Divine Rank… The Divine Rank shimmered, transmitting threads of fluctuations, attempting to break through the obstruction.
But the law dao patterns formed by Li Yuan’s divine power were terrifying, seeping into the cracks on the Divine Rank, rendering it unable to recover, naturally leaving it powerless to resist.
The Divine Rank was sealed, and even forming a divine body was impossible.
“This?” Gu You stared at the sealed Divine Rank in shock; she could sense the strong fluctuations emanating from it.
“Sister Gu You, this is the Divine Rank of the Green Demon Heavenly God.” Li Yuan said directly, “The Divine Rank has already been sealed by me, and with just a thought, I can obliterate it at any time.”
“You captured the Green Demon Heavenly God alive?” Gu You couldn’t help but ask.
Capturing alive is even more difficult than killing.
To capture a Heavenly God?
“Yes.” Li Yuan nodded, “To avoid exposure, I cannot kill him yet.”
“Once we leave this dangerous area, then, whether to kill or torture, it’s up to Sister Gu You’s will.” Li Yuan said.
“A Heavenly God’s life and death decided by me?” A complex expression flashed in Gu You’s eyes.
She stared at the Divine Rank of the Green Demon Heavenly God.
The Divine Rank is the core of a Heavenly God, containing the life origin.
“It worked.”
“Finally completed.”
“Over ten thousand years… Father, did you see? Even though the Green Demon became a Heavenly God, he was still easily captured by Li Yuan.” Gu You murmured to herself.
Li Yuan silently watched all of this.
He understood inside that aside from the relationship with Ancient Flame True God, he and Gu You had no emotional connection… But Gu You was nurtured from the ’Myriad Dragon God Armor’ by Ancient Flame True God, to her, Ancient Flame True God was her father.
Long-standing emotions.
Ancient Flame True God’s death left her carrying pain for over ten thousand years.
Today, this pain could finally be released.
After a long while.
Gu You finally calmed down, looking at Li Yuan and softly said, “Li Yuan, thank you.”
“Sister Gu You, it’s what I should do.” Li Yuan replied.
“Hmm.” Gu You said no more, she knew Li Yuan’s personality well.
She looked at the Divine Rank again: “For this Green Demon Heavenly God, you can kill him at an appropriate time… no need to inform me anymore.”
Li Yuan nodded slightly, feeling a bit relieved.
His biggest worry was that Gu You would remain immersed in pain and even want to continuously torture the Green Demon Heavenly God.
Tormenting an enemy is actually also tormenting oneself.
Gu You was willing to kill the Green Demon Heavenly God directly, indicating that she was also willing to let go of this grudge in her heart.
This is a good thing.
“Li Yuan.”
“Once you leave the Wandao Divine Court Territory, you should be able to head to the Fierce Star Domain and retrieve the Myriad Dragon God Armor.” Gu You added.
“I know the spatial coordinates where Master Gu Ju placed the Myriad Dragon God Armor.” Li Yuan nodded, “However, Gu You, nowadays, the situation in the Fierce Star Domain has changed somewhat.”
“The situation has changed?” Gu You looked puzzled, “Could it be that the Myriad Dragon God Armor was taken by other strong people?”
“That shouldn’t be the case.” Li Yuan shook his head, “Anyway, I’ll think of something.”
“Alright.” Gu You nodded, trusting Li Yuan to handle it well.
…
As Li Yuan secretly escaped.
Deep within Iceberg No. 341, inside the palace belonging to the Green Demon Heavenly God.
“Where did the Heavenly God go?”
“Probably went to inspect.”
“Let’s scatter too.” This group of True Gods exchanged ideas, having little suspicion, they each dispersed.
After all, would the Heavenly God notify them of his actions?
Occasional disappearance is quite normal.
…
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Li Yuan retraced his steps, flying all the way, crossing ice rivers and mountains, without any trouble.
“Almost there.”
“More than halfway through the journey.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Just a few more days, and I should be able to fly out of Ice Water Creek.”
Just as Li Yuan was silently praying.
In the starry sky extremely far from him, a very special fluctuation suddenly swept in all directions.
This spatial fluctuation spread extremely fast, as if a giant stone plunged into a lake, instantly causing monstrous waves… It was immediately detected by the numerous patrolling True Gods located in this area.
“Is there a treasure?”
“It’s definitely a treasured relic?”
“Such intense fluctuation, it must be an unusual treasure, actually emerging on the outskirts of Ice Water Creek?” These True Gods were incredibly delighted.
The emergence of treasures in Ice Water Creek can happen slowly from within the Ice Abyss, drifting out slowly… or randomly within Ice Water Creek territory, treasures can suddenly appear.
Without hesitation, these True Gods flew toward the source of the fluctuation and immediately began transmitting messages to their direct Heavenly Gods.
“Okay, I got it.” Instant responses came from Heavenly Gods.
But there were exceptions.
“Hmm?”
“Why isn’t the Green Demon Heavenly God responding to the messages about the emergence of a treasured relic?”
“There’s something wrong with this?” Several True Gods belonging to the Green Demon Heavenly God also sensed the treasure’s emergence.
Soon, they realized something was not right.
Over the past decades, whenever they reported matters about treasures, the Green Demon Heavenly God always responded immediately.
“Has something happened?” One True God immediately began reporting to other Heavenly Gods.
…
“Hmm?”
“The Green Demon Heavenly God not responding to those True Gods’ messages is one thing, but not responding to mine? Moreover, I can’t even sense his causality line.” In the depths of an icy palace, a person in a golden robe opened his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise, “What’s the matter?”
Most Heavenly Gods are just beginning to contact causality lines, their perception is quite weak.
But they have begun to contact, with quite a few means.
“Did he emerge?” The Golden Robe Heavenly God didn’t dare hesitate and immediately reported to the Divine Monarch.
…
Deep within Ice Water Creek, a vast, immense Ice Abyss covered entirely with endless ice and snow, shrouded in mystery.
It seemed like a path leading to another universe world.
A super-large palace was built beside the Ice Abyss, surrounded by countless purple lights, emitting a vast aura.
“The Ice Abyss has finally reached another eruption period.” A blue-clothed figure, with lingering aura, sat cross-legged in the palace, silently cultivating, “In recent years, the number of treasures submitted by Heavenly Gods from various territories is much higher than before.”
Unknown to the outside world.
Yet ’Qing Sha Divine Monarch’ who has long guarded this place understands the Ice Abyss’s patterns well.
Only during the eruption period will vast amounts of treasures continue to emerge, with quantities several dozen times more than usual.
Suddenly.
“Hmm? Unable to contact the Green Demon Heavenly God, how is that possible?” Qing Sha Divine Monarch slightly frowned.
Upon receiving the news, he first sensed the Soul Lamp but didn’t notice any anomaly.
Yet moments later.
“Causality line! Moving quickly.” Qing Sha Divine Monarch’s eyes flashed with a hint of anger, “Yet no response to any messages, what’s going on?”
Qing Sha Divine Monarch was perplexed.
Yet he reacted quickly, with a thought, disregarding the newly emerged treasure… promptly void-shifting along the causality line, arriving at the area of the Green Demon Heavenly God’s ’causality’.
Tear~ space trembled.
Directly tearing open!
“It’s a Heavenly God! Heavenly God from another force.” Qing Sha Divine Monarch has already sensed the aura at the end of the void from Li Yuan.
“You have got some nerve.” Qing Sha Divine Monarch’s voice echoed through the heavens and earth, eyes fixed on Li Yuan.
Li Yuan, who was leisurely flying.
Suddenly felt something, instantly turning his complexion: “No good! I’ve been exposed?”
“Hmm?”
“This fluctuation?” Li Yuan first hesitated, then his expression subtly changed: “Is it the ’treasure emergence’ described in the intelligence provided by the White-haired True God?”
For a moment, Li Yuan wasn’t sure whether to consider himself lucky or unlucky.
“Seems like I’m about to be exposed.”
