Chapter 1267: Chapter 585: Rumors and Preparations for Action (6K)_4

He hadn’t expected that the opponent would truly come to ask for the quota.

“Brother Bai Jiang, it’s not that I’m stingy,” Li Yuan shook his head and said, “Regarding the God King Realm, I can’t say that I am fully confident… This Beichen Residence quota is also very important to me.”

This was indeed a refusal.

“Li Yuan, you probably don’t realize how dangerous Beichen Residence is, even top Divine Monarchs face the risk of falling,” Bai Jiang Divine Monarch couldn’t help but say, “Especially someone like you, with your talent and reputation, you’re likely to be targeted by top Divine Monarchs from other forces, making it even more perilous.”

“It is dangerous,” Li Yuan smiled and replied, “But I have my own way, so there’s no need for Brother Bai Jiang to worry.”

Bai Jiang Divine Monarch understood that if he didn’t want to completely fall out, he couldn’t pursue the matter further.

“Haha.”

“Bai Jiang, you’re oversimplifying this issue,” Qian Jun Divine Monarch chuckled and said, “This quota is decided by the Divine Kings, how could we privately transfer it among ourselves? If you really want the quota, you should go to the Divine Kings.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore.”

“It’s hard for everyone to get together, let’s have a drink first,” Qian Jun Divine Monarch said with a smile, “The tavern recently introduced a new wine…”

Qian Jun Divine Monarch’s words also helped ease the tense atmosphere.

After the banquet, the Divine Monarchs went their separate ways.

…

Returning to his palace in the Heart Dream Divine Realm.

“Not a single person is willing to yield!”

“This Li Yuan, despite the significant price I’ve paid, won’t relent at all,” Bai Jiang Divine Monarch was enraged, his eyes cold: “Has his own way?”

“Just wait!”

“I look forward to seeing you embarrass yourself at Beichen Residence,” Bai Jiang Divine Monarch’s eyes were filled with disdain, “Just don’t die in there.”

…

Heart Dream Divine Realm, inside Li Yuan’s palace.

“Little Martial Uncle, you refused Bai Jiang Divine Monarch’s request?” the Sword Demon Heavenly God’s incarnation said with a laugh.

“You’ve heard?” Li Yuan laughed.

“Yes,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed, “You refused in the Heavenly God Tavern. There were quite a few Heavenly Gods present at the time, and word has spread long since.”

Li Yuan chuckled in spite of himself.

“Bai Jiang Divine Monarch is likely very angry with me,” Li Yuan shook his head slightly, “In a sense, it’s like I took his quota and then refused him when he came to ask me to give it up.”

“Haha, Little Martial Uncle, you’ve got it wrong,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed, “What do you mean by his quota? These are quotas from the Divine Court, meant as benefits for its Divine Monarchs… Otherwise, if he’s truly capable, he should earn a Beichen Residence World Token by himself.”

Li Yuan couldn’t help but smile.

“Little Martial Uncle.”

“There’s no need to mind some of the rumors outside,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God said, “It’s just because you’ve crossed into the Heavenly God Realm not long ago… But how could others know about your talent?”

“I believe that before long, the first on the Heavenly God List will be none other than you, Little Martial Uncle,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed.

“You didn’t come just to flatter me, did you?” Li Yuan laughed.

“Haha, you know me well, Little Martial Uncle,” the Sword Demon Heavenly God laughed, “I’ve been cultivating quietly recently and felt inspired. I’m planning to return to the Divine Court and cultivate for a while, maybe I’ll comprehend an ultimate Heavenly God move all at once.”

“Oh?” Li Yuan’s eyes lit up.

With the Sword Demon Heavenly God’s foundation, once he comprehends an ultimate Heavenly God move, he’d have the combat power of a Divine Monarch.

“This is wonderful news,” Li Yuan laughed, “You should go ahead.”

…

Jue Xing Emperor Palace, Space Divine Ruins, the independent space where Li Yuan’s true self resides.

“So many rumors.”

“All because my ranking on the Heavenly God List is too low,” Li Yuan whispered to himself, “Besides me, the other 39 Divine Monarchs, the lowest rank on the Heavenly God List is more than four hundred.”

Being ranked above four hundred isn’t necessarily weaker than the three hundredth.

After all, strength encompasses many aspects… And this ranking is just for the Starry Sky Divine Court. The highest level of the Chaos Divine Court knows its members better and has its views.

But generally, the ranking disparity shouldn’t be too outrageous.

Li Yuan is only ranked 866th, compared to other Divine Monarchs… naturally, rumors fly.

“If I show top Divine Monarch strength, no one would doubt me,” Li Yuan silently thought, “There’s only a few decades left before Beichen Residence opens.”

“All eight Perfect Star Techniques of my true self have been practiced to their Seventh Rank Extreme, it’s time to act on some matters.”

Li Yuan flipped his palm, from which an entire world emerged, and within that world stood a palace.

“Sister Gu You,” Li Yuan transmitted his voice.

“It’s time to avenge Teacher Gu Ju.”
