High-Level Martial Era

Chapter 1528: Chapter 677: A Millennium of Years! Path Breaking Once More

Just moments ago, when Li Shu heard Li Yuan mention Pengming True God and Cangxue Heavenly God, she was merely amazed at her master’s vast intelligence network, without delving deeper.

She never imagined that Li Yuan would avenge her.

After all, Li Shu was not some naive child; she knew that most strong mentors set specific goals to urge their disciples’ cultivation, and some even intentionally hone their disciples through adversity… As for the disciples’ foes?

Unless threatening the disciple’s life, most strong mentors would not intervene.

However!

What Li Shu could never have anticipated was, how long had she been conversing with Li Yuan?

Even if counting from the moment she sought mentorship on the Divine Ship, not much time had passed… her adversary was already dead.

Most importantly, it wasn’t just Pengming True God who had perished; even his teacher, Cangxue Heavenly God, had followed in death.

That was a Heavenly Divine!

And part of Wandao Divine Court.

“Master, you attacked and killed a Heavenly Divine from Wandao Divine Court, wouldn’t that…” Li Shu thought about this matter, knowing that a God King seemed unable to casually act against a Heavenly Divine.

She did not doubt Li Yuan would deceive her; there was no need.

“No need to worry.”

“It was through my communication with Wandao Divine Court’s God King, and Wandao Divine Court executed them.” Li Yuan smiled slightly, as Li Shu was his disciple.

Li Shu had deep enmity with Cangxue Heavenly God and Pengming True God… Therefore, at the moment Li Shu became his disciple, Li Yuan had already established a causality line with Cangxue Heavenly God and Pengming True God.

With their deaths, Li Yuan could naturally make a judgment.

Yu Chen God King, the efficiency was indeed high.

“Killed by Wandao Divine Court’s God King?” Li Shu was even more shocked in her heart… At that moment, she had a clearer understanding of her master’s overwhelming power.

Even other Divine Court’s God Kings would succumb to his words.

Such deterrence.

Perhaps, looking across the entire Divine Realm, beneath Divine Emperor, he should be the foremost.

“Thank you, Master.” Li Shu knelt upon the ground: “To avenge this great enmity for your disciple, Master’s great favor is beyond repayment.”

At this moment, her feelings were quite complex.

There was the joy of great vengeance achieved, and with a hint of confusion, mixed with a trace of pain… thoughts of departed friends and kin.

“No need for such.”

“As your master, a teacher, and father, having accepted you as a student, naturally considerations for you are made.” Li Yuan waved his hand, as formless power had already lifted Li Shu.

“You may find it strange why I don’t teach you as other God Kings do, preparing you to one day slay that Pengming True God.” Li Yuan looked at Li Shu.

Li Shu nodded; she indeed had this confusion.

“Because.”

“I can see that the resentment in your heart is quite severe… A great enmity and aspiration sure can propel cultivation, but if steeped long in it, inevitably one might succumb, becoming heart demons, losing oneself.” Li Yuan slowly said: “Thus, I acted.”

“I only wish for you to understand more clearly why you cultivate.”

“It is not for others, but for yourself.” Li Yuan gazed at his disciple: “Your life, it is to live for oneself.”

“To live for oneself.” Li Shu’s heart shook.

Indeed!

All these years, she cultivated so frantically, with ’revenge’ echoing in her mind, almost forgetting the original purpose of cultivation.

Cultivation, it should be enjoyed, not an ordeal.

“Thank you, Master.” Li Shu expressed her respect.

“You are my first disciple, and prior, I have not taught disciples.” Li Yuan continued: “But I won’t impose my own growth style onto disciples… After all, I do not think my disciple’s cultivation speed could match mine.”

Li Shu was shocked.

But upon careful reflection, truly so, her master was too terrifying… within merely a millennium, he had grown to be a peak presence among Divine Emperors, who could compare throughout history?

“But I hope you remember two statements.”

“First, aim for the highest to achieve midlands, therefore aim high, using master, Chaos God Emperor, Heart Dream God Emperor as targets.” Li Yuan said: “Secondly, also tread firmly, progressing step by step, never seek shortcuts for rapid achievement.”

“Disciple shall remember.” Li Shu said, silently savoring the two statements.

Exhale!

Li Yuan waved his hand again, as a long spear emitting sharp aura slowly descended, its shaft glistening like jade, its tip seeming to pierce the sky.

“What is this?” Li Shu held her breath.

“This spear, it is a God King weapon, with three seals set by me, to serve as your primary battle weapon.” Li Yuan said: “What you need to do is, as your cultivation progresses, strive to fully unseal this at the Heavenly God Realm.”

Not giving Li Shu much time to respond.

“Upon observing your past cultivation, this is based on your cultivation, specially selected for you three God King Methods.”

“Can be used for your Spear Technique cultivation… Remember, others’ Spear Techniques can only serve as reference; you must discern your own path.”

“These are three auxiliary Enlightenment Treasures, aiding you in understanding space law… when you ascend to Heavenly God, three more shall be bestowed.”

“These are tokens for three trial lands, master’s requirement is that in Semi Divine Realm, Void God Realm, True God Realm… progressively conquer them, and any conquest will have extra rewards.” Li Yuan stated one by one.

Leaving Li Shu overwhelmed.

She could envision that her master surely contemplated her cultivation for a long time.

“This life-preserving item, you hold it, remember, it can only be used once, even facing Divine Monarch, it can preserve your life.” Li Yuan overturned his palm once more, bestowing a token.

This token, hidden within was a ’Divine Monarch-level Life Puppet,’ similar to Fire Phoenix.

As Emperor Palace Leader, Li Yuan could command many life puppets of such level, although limited to utilization during the term.
