Chapter 1568: Chapter 695: Divine Mansion! Long Ya, Nangu
Protector?
Upon hearing Quasi-Saint Hei Chong’s call, Illusion Heart God King and Dong Mang God King were initially shocked, and then a storm of emotions surged in their hearts.
How could it be?
“Junior Brother, did I hear wrong?” Dong Mang God King couldn’t help but ask.
Illusion Heart God King also glanced at Li Yuan… Even though they knew the probability of Quasi-Saint Hei Chong being mistaken was extremely low, it was still instinctively hard to believe.
After all, this was the Protection Order!
In the entire Chaos Mansion, only three Divine Emperors possess the Protection Order… The rest, whether they are the six elders or the twelve candidate elders, all merely hold the Star Guard Order.
“That’s correct, I did receive the Protection Order gifted by the Tianluo Universe Alliance.” Li Yuan replied calmly.
The matter of his Five-star Immortal Order could be concealed, but obtaining the Tianluo Star City Protection Order could be sensed by many strong individuals, it was simply not possible to hide.
Li Yuan did not expect that upon his arrival at Star City, Quasi-Saint Hei Chong would appear.
“Senior Brother, when I assumed the position of Palace Master at the celebration last time, Purple Fire God King came to deliver the Protection Order.” Li Yuan explained.
“So it was that time.” Dong Mang God King realized: “I was puzzled why an existence like Purple Fire God King would come… It turns out it was to deliver the Protection Order, that makes sense.”
Dong Mang God King was unaware of Li Yuan’s relationship with Cloud Moon Divine Emperor, he had mentally scripted the scenario as ’Tianluo Universe Alliance values Li Yuan, invites Li Yuan’.
“It’s true” Illusion Heart God King couldn’t conceal the shock on his face.
Previously, although he valued Li Yuan and was polite to him, deep down… he still considered himself somewhat stronger than Li Yuan.
This wasn’t looking down on Li Yuan, but rather a typical mindset of an older generation.
But from this moment!
Upon knowing Li Yuan possessed the Protection Order… Illusion Heart God King’s mindset changed entirely, he knew all too well what possessing a Protection Order meant after cultivating for so long.
It’s not just a nominally higher status.
There are also substantial benefits in reality.
“I’ve long heard of the name Heart Origin Guardian, it’s my fortune to meet Heart Origin Guardian.” Quasi-Saint Hei Chong smiled and said: “Is it your first time in Star City, Heart Origin Guardian?”
“Yes.” Li Yuan nodded.
Quasi-Saint Hei Chong, as indicated in the intel provided by Master Jue Xing, is a Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint in the Tianluo Universe Alliance, whose strength rivals that of the Illusion Heart God King, but only possesses the ’Star Guard Order’.
In Tianluo Star City, Protection Orders are typically granted to Divine Emperors.
Even most Sixth Rank Quasi-Saints affiliated with the Tianluo Universe Alliance haven’t received a Protection Order.
“To be granted a Protection Order means our Tianluo Universe Alliance’s higher-ups greatly value Heart Origin Guardian, truly deserving the title of the acknowledged first genius of the Dark Domain.” Quasi-Saint Hei Chong said smilingly.
“Quasi-Saint Hei Chong praises me too much.” Li Yuan shook his head and said: “The reason I obtained the Protection Order firstly is that my Chaos Mansion and Tianluo Universe Alliance are allies, secondly the Divine Emperors in the alliance favor me, my strength is barely noteworthy in comparison.”
“Speaking of strength, I should address Quasi-Saint Hei Chong as ’Senior’.”
Even though theoretically his status is higher than Quasi-Saint Hei Chong’s, the foundation of cultivation still rests on strength.
Given the cordiality of his counterpart, Li Yuan naturally wouldn’t boast.
“Haha.”
“Heart Origin Guardian is too humble, I cannot accept being called ’Senior’. If Heart Origin Guardian does not mind, we can address each other as ’Dao Friend’.” Quasi-Saint Hei Chong smiled.
Path Breakers.
Advancing along the vast Great Dao, therefore, when powerhouse levels are close, regardless of the cultivation system or relationship, one may address each other as Dao Friend, Dao Brother.
“Very well, then I won’t be distant, we shall address each other as Dao Friends.” Li Yuan smiled.
“I am also friends with Purple Fire Guardian, I have already informed him of your arrival.” Quasi-Saint Hei Chong said: “He is currently adventuring outside, he will visit Chaos Mansion shortly to meet Heart Origin Dao Friend.”
“Thank you for letting me know.” Li Yuan replied.
Below the Emperor Realm, it is rare to obtain a Protection Order… Evidently, Purple Fire God King is a notably special figure among them.
Time passed.
The few continued to converse for quite some time, primarily between Quasi-Saint Hei Chong, Li Yuan, and Illusion Heart God King… Dong Mang God King had no opportunity to interject.
Dong Mang God King did not mind, he was aware that both his strength and status were evidently lacking.
Yet his heart was equally joyful, the stronger and higher-status Li Yuan became… the more beneficial it was for Dong Mang God King.
“Heart Origin, as you are new to Star City, you might have many matters to attend to, I shall not linger.” Quasi-Saint Hei Chong smiled and said: “The future stretches endlessly, I will visit you when you’re available… If you have anything to accomplish within Star City, feel free to communicate through the token, if I can help, I shall do my utmost.”
Star City Orders have a numbering system.
Earlier the few have exchanged theirs… Via the tokens, they can communicate across the vast vicinity of Star City.
The higher the token level, the wider its communication range.
“Good.” Li Yuan smiled.
…
Whoosh! After bidding farewell to Quasi-Saint Hei Chong, Illusion Heart God King led Li Yuan and Dong Mang forward along the passage.
“Heart Origin, are you close with Purple Fire Quasi-Saint?” Illusion Heart God King asked curiously.
“It’s alright.” Li Yuan replied vaguely.
“Purple Fire Quasi-Saint is acknowledged as the strongest quasi-saint in Tianluo Star City.” Illusion Heart God King sighed: “His strength probably reaches the ’Seventh Rank Quasi-Saint’ level, the quasi-saints he holds in regard are scarce.”
“Seventh Rank Quasi-Saint?” Dong Mang God King was slightly surprised.
“A so-called Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint has the strength at the threshold of the Emperor Realm.” Illusion Heart God King smiled: “But in reality, those at the Emperor Realm possess immensely powerful bodies, their own Dao nearly reaches Perfection forming Emperor’s Might on its own, after some dedicated cultivation time, even one who steps into the Fourth Stage of the Ordinary Eternal Dao in the Emperor Realm typically outmatches a Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint.”
“Thus, when facing an Emperor Realm, a Sixth Rank Quasi-Saint is fortunate if they can escape with their life.”
